    Best Players of a particular shot...

    For mine and I'm not really going on elegance and how good a shot looks but rather it's effectivness. Cover Drive Front foot : Lara Cover Drive backfoot : SRT Cut Shot: Shewag / Gilchrist Pull / Hook : Ponting Leg glance : Laxman? On Drive: Ponting Off drive: No sure SRT of old used to play...

    Greatest Catch Ever

    Also one Ricky Ponting took off some South African dude a few years ago.. think it might have been Mckenzie.

    Biggest six hitters outside the subcontinent

    Mine are two seperate lists and to be honest i didn't bother to work them out.. However it';s very clear why the players you mentioned have more than others.. It's just weight of matches and the small grounds they play on.. Tendulkar for instance has alot but both he and Inzy still average...

    Biggest six hitters outside the subcontinent

    Yeah exactly.. lots of spinners bowling and the grounds are signifigantly smaller. that's the reason if any that you see alot more sixes.. if you are a stongish player that you won't even have to time the ball that well to get a six half the time.

    never the less Gilchrist's record in such situations is very good.. so I don't think he would have any reason to change his game even if he was put in situations like that more often.

    Biggest six hitters outside the subcontinent

    I saw that shot and I don't know if it's just me but I reackon Ponting hits those type of sixes all the time.. just good length balls that she puts away high over midwicket off the front foot. As for longest hitter I would say Brett Lee... Flintoff, Symonds, Afridi, Gilchrist, Cairns, Kemp...

    feel for watto.. some players just have no luck with injurys while other can go an entire career and barely ever have one.

    I've seen him swimg the ball ALOT!! more than that in Pure Cup matches.. way way way more actually.. you just don't know as much as you would like to think you do

    Pick Your Best All time ODI Team

    yeah but it's test cricket.. he still plays his own game though. it maybe true that flower and Lara have shown more responsibility for there team so to speak but the amount of times gilly has come in with australia in trouble and attacked and bought the game back in australia's favour makes up...

    ***Official*** Australian Domestic Season 2005/06 thread

    Why not..?? There are some awful bowlers in the WA side and his figures with bat and ball for hampshire where very good... I would have him in the OD side in a FLASH and open with him with the batting (made two 100's opening for hampsire) he is a way better bowler and player in general than...

    **** off this is getting a bit old.. fine don't like him as a player but no need to rubbish his character as well.

    Why nobody can touch Brian Lara

    Bit hard for Ponting to cut lose when they had men all on the boundry on the legside and bowling spin on leg stump...
  20. Eclipse

    Brett Lee Says he will bowl line and length from now on.

    well he never even looked like taking 5 wickets against bangladesh... having said that against a better batting line up his figures would not be so good.. but still apart from his first spell of the match he has been true to what he said and bowled line and length.
