    Cricket's Great Myths

    Not Kumble. By the time Ashes 1993 (that estabkished Warne) had rolled out, He had already distinguished himself with the SA tour where he took 18 wickets from 4 tests at 25. Followed it up with 21 wickets in the 3-0 whitewash of Eng at home as well.

    Cricket's Great Myths

    Yes. The Kalu - Jaya partnership success is conflated with Kalu s success in the ODI series in Australia that just preceded the World Cup, where it all started. Curiously Jaya didn't that well in that series. So that was a big leap of faith that Ranatunga took in the WC.

    What is wrong with doctoring of pitch ?

    I think he's earned the bragging rights after shepherding India to successive wins in Aus and also by creating an ATG Indian pace attack since 2016.

    Also no real change in Lyon s numbers without Starc historically.

    What is wrong with doctoring of pitch ?

    Yeah I remember us fans crying conspiracy theories of Jayasurya having a bat with spring inside it. The story was that this was identified during Airport security check. Another recent one is how Starc has declined since sandpapergate as a bowler. Although.... well that's for another thread...

    Yeah but stadiums are largely responsibility of the state associations. BCCi does hand out fat payouts to each association but then most of them are corrupt and controlled politically. Take for example Hyderabad cricket association. Since Mohammed Azharuddin (yeah the one and only) took charge...

    They are decent at home agree but Asia? They have won more tests outside Asia (5) than in Asia ex-Ban (1). Although I don't really find merit in bucketing Asian countries as one.

    The last test at Indore, Indian pacers took 15/20 wickets to fall. Yes the opposition was Bangladesh but even Bangla seamer took a four for. Cue.Bharat Sundareshan to spot a green wicket 2 days 2 days before test and lull Aussies to play 3 pacers and 1 spinner, only to realize ball turning...

    Coz their board own pretty much all other boards? Imagine NZ cricket trying to make such revolutionary things. The maximum reaction would be aww that's so sweet.

    He was top of the class in his specialty in the country for a while. Would expect that bare minimum competency in his ttade. Equating him with Warne is not being kind on the latter. Warne definitely had his foot in mouth moments, but he was an excellent observer of the game, identified talent...

    Australia just being so meticulous in their planning and preparation that they finished the test in 3 days to get 2 full days of practice on a true spin den. Respect. A worthy follow up to preparing against Ashwin using Mahesh Pithiya.

    Is Jadeja an ATG test cricketer?

    Kumble was pretty one a one man army overseas. Eventually they all have to get out to someone and Kumble used to pretty much book one end so it's no miracle that he ended up bagging on all those wickets. The average obviously is high as well (although reduced by the cheaper wickets of lower...

    Is Jadeja an ATG test cricketer?

    Ashwin tends to overanalyze and overthink in fact in the last BGT in Aus, It was a mouthwatering match up between two overthinkers Smith and Ashwin. The over-overthinker lost out to the lesser one in the end.
