    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    Gilly ain't it in Asia though. But can Flower keep well on these wickets?

    What would be your XI to beat this SC XI?

    Flower over Gilly? Not sure. Gilly to me was capable of matchchanging innings against top spin.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    "It's enough to just beat Zimbabwe" It was the 3rd largest innings victory of all time and our biggest. We didn't just beat them, it was a massacre already.

    *Official* New Zealand in Zimbabwe 2025 (Tests)

    Zim didn't last 180 overs in both innings of every test they played vs SA and NZ

    Sachin vs Viv against spin

    They aren't useless, but much they're much less valuable, which is also why I rate Akram lower than I used to. Ignoring them is anyday better than ignoring Nz and Sl anyway

    Sachin vs Viv against spin

    No it isn't unless you think tail wickets are useless and Akram isn't an ATG. Bedi is the 4th innings GoAT, and you can't be shocked that spinners did better in the 3rd and 4th Innings, especially given they were the sole bowlers almost without any pacers bowling the bulk in the 1st and 2nd...

    Saeed Anwar vs Sourav Ganguly

    I think you're ignoring the importance of strike rate here. Jayasuriya averaged 21 and 24 respectively against South Africa and Australia, but he was still a better ODI batter than both Sangakkara and Ganguly. Bro, limited-overs cricket is all about impact. Just think about this, for example...

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    It's a delusional obsession with incumbency. These people are blinded by how good Khawaja was 2 years ago that they are ignorant of his current level of ability and performance. He will get picked for the ashes and he will fail. There will definitely be Shield batsmen that would do better at...

    *Official* Road to the 2025-26 Ashes

    Weatherald and Patterson both made good runs in the shield, while Khawaja (apart from one good innings) was mediocre at best over the last two years. He’s also almost 39. There’s not 20 guys but there’s a few who deserve a chance over Khawaja justifying why he’s still there on any criteria that...

    Saeed Anwar vs Sourav Ganguly

    ...get some brownie points in comparison but if you simply struggle in entire career then it's a huge black mark. Crossing 50 only once in 50+ innings and averaging 20 in entire career against two best sides should count as a huge negative. It's not some sub sample size, it's his entire career...

    *Official* Pakistan in Florida and Trinidad T20s/ODIs Tour 2025

    Cue to the biggest over of the innings bowled by Greaves. Motie appears to have trapped Rizwan LBW. Given out but reviewed

    Is Waqar Younis an ATG test bowler?

    But Imran was still taking wickets with reverse in all games. I don't think it's just the wickets frankly it was high bowling quality on all sides.

    Curtly Ambrose vs Dennis Lillee

    I'm sure a lot of cricketers are better once you remove debut series. Btw the 2.4 is still a far cry from Lillee at home (2.75). And of course Lillee has a better SR.

    Curtly Ambrose vs Dennis Lillee

    ...and one where he had genuine health problems. Ambrose after 17 Tests was averaging 27 with the ball and had taken 60 Test Wickets in 33 innings. At the end of the 1980s – At home, Ambrose had played 7 Tests and taken only 12 wickets in 13 innings at an average of 53 but overseas he had...

    Was SF barnes a spin bowler or pace bowler?

    Australia's Ted McDonald and West Indies's Learie Constantine were two bowlers who were actual true pacers who could switch to bowling off spin, Constantine's average speed was calculated by the Cambridge universe to be 85 mph but he did bowl off-cutters and could switch to off-spin. McDonald to...

    Is Waqar Younis an ATG test bowler?

    That series is different because those pitches were proper minefields, I think the top scorer that series was Viv Richards and he made like 185 runs in 5 or 6 innings, nobody averaged 35+ I think. The 82-83 one is just...ugh, pitches were as flat as possible in that one.

    Sourav Ganguly vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Anwar was a better Odi batsman than Ganguly.

    Sourav Ganguly vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Ganguly and Dravid aren't too close, but they aren't too far apart either imo. Ganguly easily better for me, but it's not like Ganguly was great and Dravid was mid.

    Sourav Ganguly vs Kumar Sangakkara

    ...Anwar was better, but Ganguly went big more often. Anyways, on stats alone you would think Dravid and Ganguly were close as well. Don't think that was the case at all. Feel that's kinda true here, I think agree with Ankitj, Ganguly wasn't a dasher but set the tone of the innings well in his...

    innings should not have ended with an awesome throw like that
