    Which cricketers go on each countries Mount Rushmore?

    I chose him for the impact on SA cricket. Otherwise I would go with Smith or Steyn

    Rahul Dravid vs Kevin Pietersen (talent)

    Maybe. T20 has destroyed technique needed to play in test cricket (of course there are exceptions) and that’s one of the reasons median averages is lower today.

    Indiscipline & match fixing : Pakistan pacers Fall of test cricket & Rise in T20 : WI pacers

    Which cricketers go on each countries Mount Rushmore?

    I did pick him. Basil D’Oliveira Hansie Cronje Allan Donald Jacques Kallis

    Which cricketers go on each countries Mount Rushmore?

    Maybe not. But his impact on their team cannot be denied. Even if Kapil was proven guilty in match fixing, his impact would not have been lessened.

    Which cricketers go on each countries Mount Rushmore?

    India had a full fledged series with them. Allan Donald showed the potential of SA by destorying us in one day & test. Donald took 12 wickets in a test and helped them win their first test post comeback and series 1-0. In their first one day match post comeback, Donald showed the might of SA...

    1. Flat pitches 2. Bad Luck & injuries(Bond, Harris & Shoaib).

    A huge reason for Ponting, Kallis, Sanga & Dravid becoming great batsmen.

    Maybe this era is still unfinished yet But from 1996-2010, we had just one ATG bowler making his debut.

    Donald? Yes. The rest I deliberately avoided. For me, ATG bowlers since 1970 and their debut Imran Khan – 1971 Dennis Lillee – 1971 Richard Hadlee – 1973 Michael Holding – 1975 Joel Garner – 1977 Malcolm Marshall – 1978 Wasim Akram – 1985 Curtly Ambrose – 1988 Allan Donald – 1992 Shane Warne...

    My bad. He deserves to be there for sure. I avoided names like Roberts, Pollock Walsh & Waqar and Cummins & Rabada. Great bowlers but not ATG or whatever the term is

    Which cricketers go on each countries Mount Rushmore?

    Hansie Cronje laid the foundation stone of modern South African cricket.South Africa had just reentered international cricket after decades of isolation. Under his leadership, they didn’t just catch up; they leapfrogged into the top tier. He was the driving force behind South Africa’s rise as a...

    Sure. Still it’s quite low at least compared to 1970-1995. Steyn. Bumrah. Rabada. Cummins. That’s just 4.

    Rahul Dravid vs Kevin Pietersen (talent)

    Batting was harder 20-25 years ago(2000-2005). Waqar. Akram. Donald. Ambrose. Walsh. They barely played in 2000s. McGrath is the only pacer who is ATG. McGrath retired in 2006.

    I don’t agree with KP’s statement but got me thinking There have been less ATG bowlers who have made their debut this century. Why is it? ATG bowlers who made their debut between 1970-1995 Lillee. Hadlee. Marshall. Holding. Garner. Ambrose. Akram. Donald. McGrath. Warne. Murali. ATG...

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers (talent)

    Nature or nurture?

    All-Time World XIs

    A) Border B) Root. Ponting. Waugh. C) Donald & Holding.

    Who is a more talented batsman? Steven Smith or ABD?

    Curious. One is poetry in motion. His balance, bat swing and every shot looks effortlessly elegant. A rare mix of classic technique and 360 degree innovation. Another bats like a man possessed with his twitching, fidgeting, constantly in motion and with a technique that seems to break every...
