    Best and Worst TV Commentators

    Being a native of subcontinent, I hate lot of subcontinent commentators. Arun Lal, LaxmanShivRamaKrishna, Gavaskar, Amir Sohail are all crap. One who I really like and respect is Ravi Shahstri. I think he is tad underrated among ppl outside of subcontinent.

    Players that are the most overated by CW posters.

    This highlighted seems like your "bottom line". But again, Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo His SR is right there with the others even in the 90s. What you are underestimating is McGrath's impact in setting up the game in first hour or so. Talking about...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Yea, AFAIK, b/c compared to batsman-captains there weren't many bowler-captains before Imran. So I don't think it's fair to say "oh, he was the very first successful fast bowler captains" This is if my first assumption is correct.

    Players that are the most overated by CW posters.

    Mcgrath SR- 51 Waqar-43 Donald-47 Ambrose-54 Wasim-54 Murali-55 Warne-57 Among the best, he falls right in the middle of the pack in terms of taking wickets. I don't know the ODI numbers for above players but I know he is right there with the pack with his SR of 34. IIRC, he also, has played...

    best bowlers in the 90s

    In 90's I would rank them in this order, Waqar, Ambrose, Donald, Wasim, McGrath, Warne, Murali, Pollock, Walsh.

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Many of those jokes are same as Chuck Norris jokes. If I had to guess, Rajnikanth jokes were copied from Chuck Norris jokes.

    best bowlers in the 90s

    Uhh, Why would you have Gooch and Taylor open for '00 when they never played in that decade? Isn't that the point of one (or vcs in this case) having Sehwag and Hayden open. It's different story if one is talking about 90's and 00's.

    Awesome stuff. Any ball by ball especially for gg bowlers (i.e. Imran)? Btw, how did you upgrade your account? You paid?

    best bowlers in the 90s

    By that logic then let's just have Hobbs/Hutton/Sunny open.

    best bowlers in the 90s

    I am not too comfortable going with Pollock b/c he had only played 38 tests at the end of '99. If one was looking at players from 90's right after it ended where one doesn't know how the player will perform in the future, one wouldn't feel comfortable with that choice. I will go Wasim, Waqar...

    warne, imran, or murali?

    Right now I have Warne as the worst between these 3 (saying alot when I have him in my XI :laugh: ). But it's still splitting hair. It's just mad close b/w him and Murali.
