    Would Botham make it to your England ATG XI?

    Broad is the same level as Pollock, and Gough was a great bowler, i never said Gough was better than Pollock. however look at Gough strike rate, its better than Pollys, injuries shortened his career, i said he was a great strike bowler, the whole idea in over 100 years of test cricket England...

    Would Botham make it to your England ATG XI?

    No i am not trolling and i live in the real world, i have seen far more cricket than you and a lot more objective than you, your biased opinion of Polly being a great and England not having a great 3rd paceman is just ridiculous, it does not matter that Tyson only played 19 tests, Graeme...

    Would Botham make it to your England ATG XI?

    Apart from Larwood and Tyson i have seen them all, My dad watched Larwood and told me just how good and how quick he was. Polly does not come close to him, the same with Tyson as for the others, Willis was most certainly better, ask the Aussie batsmen who they would rather not face i put...

    Would Botham make it to your England ATG XI?

    So you are saying Pollock is ok, as a 3rd seamer but Anderson, Willis, Snow, Tyson, Larwood and Broad are not, that makes no sense what so ever,

    Would Botham make it to your England ATG XI?

    Not sure you are correct about England not having an elite 3rd paceman, Larwood was a great bowler, Willis was a great bowler, Botham was too in his peak years, but dropped off rapidly, Snow and Tyson are in their too,

    In the sub continent Gibbs most certainly is the team in , anywhere else, just pace,

    South Africa team selection

    Nortje is not 32 till December, a good 3 years left providing he doesnt keep getting injured, Rabada is 30. providing they do not bowl him in to the ground he has another 4 or 5 years, Jansen only 25, should be around for years. i agree Coetzee, Maphaka and Luus are the future, but not top 3...

    South Africa team selection

    For me, Rabada, Nortje and Jansen are without doubt the top 3 Proteas pace bowlers. after that their is a bunch of about 7 or so all of a similar standard, all good enough to be chosen,

    John Snow vs Bob Willis vs Brian Statham

    I did say they are not in order, Bedser was very good and in a group of about 12 others that could make a claim to being a top 10 England all timer, but i can not see him being better than the 9 i have posted,

    John Snow vs Bob Willis vs Brian Statham

    They are not in any particular order, and why is it bizarre ?

    John Snow vs Bob Willis vs Brian Statham

    All 3 are in Englands all time top 10 in my opinion. Trueman Statham Willis Anderson Snow Larwood Barnes Broad Botham at his best was top 10 in his peak years, these are my top 9 , the 10th spot could be one of many,

    All-Time SA ODI XI

    Sorry but i disagree, i saw both of them play, they would have been hugely successful in ODIs, Gordon Greenidge said he was in awe of Barry Richards. if Greenidge says that it tells you something.

    All-Time SA ODI XI

    You have got to be joking, they where both world class players and would have succeeded in any form of cricket, ask the bowlers who bowled to them how good they where, no assumptions needed, the rebel Aussie and Windies teams where very strong, better than some fully fledged international teams...

    ***official*** England whiteball tour of india January 2025***

    When was the last time Englands pace attack had 3x 90mph+ bowlers. Wood, Archer and Carse, probably was when Harmison.Jones and Flintoff where together, the more I see of Carse the more he impresses me,
