    India should change home pitch conditions

    India should ensure that all home pitches designed to:- -be fast -be bouncy -have ZERO lateral movement/minimise swing bowling -minimise threat of fingerspinners This will allow for a more efficient brand of cricket (the Australian brand of cricket that is also espoused by Brendon McCullum)...

    The ruthlessness of Steve Waugh's Australia

    In 2001, Australia were at their peak. They scored at 4+ runs per over. They were remorseless in the field, and denied their fans any opportunity to get frustrated. They simply did not drop catches. And McGrath appeared to generate extra bounce even on the flattest pitches of all time.

    Curtly ambrose vs dale styen

    I just find Ambrose or McGrath's hard lengths more satisfying. It rushes batsmen, gives away nothing to the batsmen and it is a real victory when you then get the edge off shoulder of bat.

    Pacers are all very different in strengths and weaknesses Likes of Steyn and Bumrah can bowl floaty full deliveries that defeat batsmen whereas likes of Ambrose used to really intimidate opponents without swing but bounce.

    Curtly ambrose vs dale styen

    Steyn was a swing bowler, like Bumrah or Anderson, whereas Ambrose spammed hard length balls like a Cummins or McGrath. It's like comparing Dravid to Viv Richards.

    Bumrah in 2019 vs now

    I watched Bumrah in the first Test. Right now he seems to bowl really full and doesn't really generate zip off the wicket like in 2019. When he returned in 2020 he already had lost some zip off the wicket but still continued to hit the deck often. It would be interesting to compare Bumrah in...
