    If you could watch one match...

    I saw both of these live. The Oval Test also featured a marvelous double century by Viv Richards that was almost as remarkable as Holding's spell. The Test I would most like to have seen, however, is the tied Test between Australia and the West Indies at Brisbane in 1960-61. Apart from the...

    Micheal Holding

    Frank Worrell probably deserves more credit for this achievement, although Lloyd made a substantial contribution.

    Who Named These Squads?

    Lloyd's team was selected for his 1980 autobiography, Living For Cricket. That is why it features players from the 1960's and 70's. Holding and Garner were not yet at their peak, while Marshall had barely started to make his mark in international cricket.

    West Indian with best defensive technique?

    Old timers whose judgment I respected insist that George Headley has never been surpassed in this regard. :) I agree entirely. The great South African opener Barry Richards had a flawless defensive technique, but at the same time he was a brilliant strokeplayer who scored his runs very quickly.

    Your countries first 3 xis of your era

    That was an error. Garner was one of the greatest of all fast bowlers. Of all the quicks I've seen he was probably the one I would least like to face, because he combined impeccable accuracy with abnormal bounce. I tend to go back and forth between him and Michael Holding as the third seamer...

    Your countries first 3 xis of your era

    I'm old enough that my teams are effectively all-time West Indian XI's: 1st XI: Hunte Greenidge Headley Richards* Lara Sobers Dujon+ Marshall Holding Ambrose Gibbs 2nd XI: Gayle Haynes Kanhai Worrell* Weekes Walcott Hendriks+ Roberts Hall Walsh Ramadhin 3rd XI: Fredericks Rowe Richardson...

    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    For me he would definitely rank in the top five as a Test batsman. Across all formats, in the half-century since one-day international cricket started, Viv Richards has been the only comparable batsman. Tendulkar is easily the more consistent of the two, although Richards at his peak was more...

    Why isn't Imran rated higher?

    Imran is not really competing with Sobers for a place in an all-time XI. In fact, I would include both of them in my team. Sobers was a batting all-rounder - an ATG batsman who could bowl well enough to be the fifth bowler in the team. Imran was a bowling all-rounder, probably the best there...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Hendriks is regarded by many as the best pure wicketkeeper ever produced by the West Indies. Some analysts would prefer Dujon, who was not quite as outstanding behind the stumps but clearly the better batsman of the two. Walcott, of course, was a great batsman, but he gave up keeping fairly...

    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    I agree. Barry Richards is definitely underrated because he did not play much Test cricket. His performances in World Series Cricket (which was of a higher quality than most Test cricket) provide a glimpse of how special a player he was. Many cricketers consider him the most technically...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    This is very nearly a perfect team. I might go with McGrath in place of Hadlee, but both are clearly ATG's.

    Why aren't there more spinner all rounders?

    [/B][/B] Which Sutcliffe are you describing here - Hobbs's long term partner Herbert Sutcliffe, or the post-war New Zealand opener Bert Sutcliffe?
