    Herbert Sutcliffe vs George Headley

    The best opening partnership is made up of a rock solid batsman who holds up one end and his partner who keeps the score ticking. Sutcliffe played his role to perfection and could not have asked for a better partner in Hobbs. Headley had no decent support. The batting depended upon his...

    Which was the greater WI Pace Quartet ?

    I should have specified 'assuming they're playing at their peak'. Thus, it's hypothetical based on bits of reality. The 1st set was IMO more fearsome and complementary, tho frustration creeped in v N.Z The 2nd set was more disciplined
