    Barry Richards?

    Australia of the 70s would have been the third top team. Obviously they were trounced in that last series vs SA, but once Lillee and Greg Chappell came into the team, and they weren't buggered from a tour of India immediately preceding, they would have had some magnificent battles vs that SA team.

    Barry Richards?

    Bit harsh, I've taken from some of his posts that Saeed's living in the States and perhaps has only recently developed an interest in the broader history of the game (SA - apologies if this is an incorrect surmise). Richards was one of a number of wonderful South Africans whose test career was...

    Random country draft

    Myself, I'll take SF Barnes. Lazy 7 wickets per match @ 16 a piece an' all. Team so far: - - - Jayawardene Donnelly Kapil Dev - - Donald O'Reilly Barnes

    99* sent through his preferences to me, as he's going to be offline. His first preference was Trueman (as it was my own!), so he'll take Sir Ian Botham.

    Playing Selector: Dream ODI XI

    My dream ODI team is more fluid than my test equivalent, but it would be something close to: Tendulkar Gilchrist+ Ponting* Richards Symonds Bevan Kapil Dev Imran Warne Garner McGrath Wasim and Murali incredibly stiff to miss out, but I think Kapil and Imran's batting makes this team...

    His overall average is still well above 50+ against some great bowling. A reversion to mean, but does make one question the sometime assumption that he was a clear class ahead of other greats. And with what is still a very small sample size, a couple of poor matches, as mentioned above, will...

    Clarification of sarcastic intent now edited into my post... ;)

    Batting against the best (since 2000)

    Agree with that logic. If you include Pakistan, who have had a pretty decent bowling attack for a lot of this period, you get: Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | Cricinfo.com. although whether Pakistan or SL have had the better attack on average over that timeframe, and...

    A.F.L Thread

    Hmmm... might have to accept that my prediction that St Kilda will fall off a bit this year was based on a dislike rather than any sound theory. Pretty handy football team. That said, it will be interesting to see how they go if Riewoldt misses time with that hammy. Woeful kicking by the...

    Batting against the best (since 2000)

    With Sri Lanka included. Brings Flower somewhat back to the fold. Somewhat... I note re: our discussion in the KP thread, that Clarke appears above any other Aussies, and 7 runs clear of KP. :dry: Interesting to see how far Kallis falls by this measure (4214 @ 45.8, as opposed to the all...

    Random country draft

    Nearly forgot about him tbh... there are still two good batsmen left from NZ that I would have been satisfied with.
