    Which cricketers go on each countries Mount Rushmore?

    I do not think he should be in the list. As great as he was, barely any impact or difference to England in all but one Ashes.

    Rahul Dravid vs Kevin Pietersen (talent)

    Despite being the greatest batsman since Don, he was looking to improve himself and even took advice from a waiter in a hotel.

    I accept. Talent + Hard Work + Luck or God’s Grace = Success

    Vinod Kambli & kite story By Ramakant Achrekar I remember reading a story about a young Vinod Kambli where during a net session he suddenly ran off mid innings to chase a kite that had floated by. Ramakant Achrekar who was his coach asked him if he had come to play cricket or chase kites...

    Rahul Dravid vs Kevin Pietersen (talent)

    In his autobiography, Viv Richards credited his comfort against fast bowling to growing up in the West Indies where facing raw pace was a daily reality and survival meant standing your ground or getting hurt. While it’s fair to ask why others from the region didn’t reach his level, the more...

    For sake of a debate Is the inability to defend really talent or just a lack of discipline dressed up as flair?

    Being disciplined is also a talent.

    Rahul Dravid vs AB de Villiers (talent)

    ABD’s batting may look more visually pleasing but I wouldn’t say he’s more naturally gifted than Sachin.

    Even if the Big 3 were transported to the 1990s, Wimbledon would likely still belong to Pete Sampras. The ultra fast and low bouncing grass was tailormade for his explosive serve, flawless volleys and aggressive net play. While Federer may challenge him and Djokovic’s return game might test him...

Around 2000 or 2001, the decision to switch the grass composition from 70% ryegrass to 100% ryegrass changed the character of the tournament. The surface became...
