    Best All Time Test XII

    I remember in a book called "Test Cricket Lists", they had a section where they selected Test Team's from the person's surnames or name (as for the case of the sub-continent) plus also added those who played one or two tests and one for those who missed out on a team, and from what I can recall...

    Wisden's Cricketers of the Century

    Don Bradman himself was once quizzed about Viv Richards. His response was that he felt that he was probably the most 'complete' batsman he'd ever seen, even more-so than himself. The difference was he said, that while he used to continue to bat (i.e. NOT get out) and score big, that Viv, in his...

    Bowling attacks of today

    Of those you mentioned only two IMHO are of 'world class', Pollock & McGrath. There is a lack of 'world class' bowlers in todays sides, this with the coupling of more batter friendly manicured wickets has seen the present dominance of batters. The 'other hand' to this is batsmen now are more...

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    It's not Sobers fault that the Pakistani's two main strike bowler broke down... Also I'm not sure when the declaration would've came, but Hammond kept his side batting in 1938 UNTIL it was confirmed that Bradman wasn't able to bat after he rolled his ankle whilst bowling, dunno if it effected...

    Bevan always made a real good 0.

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    Yeah that "exceptional" player got a triple-ton against a bowling attack Danny Morrison or Courtney Walsh could get a ton against. Cripes even Chandrasekhar coulda got 50!

    Ricky Ponting calls Lara selfish

    Well quite frankly I'm sleeping better at night now I the knowledge that the record has been scored against creditable opposition. It really makes me cringe to think what quality players of the past (do I have to mention ANY names???) would have done against the likes of Bangladesh & the...

    Fastest Bowler Ever

    Can I step outta the square here for abit and say none of these people mentioned in this thread is "The Fastest Ever", but only the "Fastest We Know Of"??? I'm pretty sure that there would be someone somewhere out there that 'actually' delivers the ball at greater pace/speed, but unfortunately...

    Cricket Web Draft

    Don't all teams have to declare their 'two secured' players before the draft begins??? The two you want in your Team that no-one can draft... e.g. Australia secures Ricky Ponting & Shane Warne. New Zealand secures Stephen Fleming & Shane Bond.

    One-Day Style Test Cricketers

    I was lucky enough to be watching when Astle's 222. That was just a case of everything coming together a the one time. He must been seeing it like a basketball. It's all too common for Test cricketers to be batting as if they were batting in one-dayers. This is caused by the amount of...

    Who Is The Greatest Ever West Indies Cricketer?

    Sobers I would pretty much expect to take this in a cake walk. The next two I would expect Richards and Headley to be next. As to Hooper in the list, wouldn't Richie Richardson get in the list before him??? and I don't think he's been mentioned.

    Best Test Openers

    With 1.1-1.2 BILLION people in India and considering how fanatical they are about their own cricket team/players, I'm absolutely flabbergasted that they're not AHEAD in the poll. The rest of the countries TOGETHER wouldn't get as many votes, and it's not like the average Indian cricket fan...

    Best six hitters

    There has only been one batsman who has ever dispatch four consecutive balls for 6 in Test match history... Does that make that person the best ever???

    *Official* India in Pakistan Thread

    Yeah, poor Tendulkar left on 194*... declaration could've waited 10 mins for the 200!!! 6 runs short of 4th double century. Atapattu with 5 & Lara with 6 lead current batsman, Bradman with 12 leads Hammond's 7 overall. Tendulkar's run of scores... 241*, 60*, 194* = 395 (with more to be added at...

    Best six hitters

    The simple fact is that the West Indies from 1974/5 until 1991 expected Viv to get the bulk of their runs. This in turn meant that Viv for the most part had to curb his natural game. Therefore he could not be as free-swinging as Cairns has had the ability to be. Of course this ends up...

    best sledges

    Don't think this is word for word but you'll get the idea... WG Grace had just come to the wicket to bat, and is about to face this relatively 'unknown' bowler. He handles the first couple OK, then plays and misses at the next. Looks around and sees that his off bail is on the ground. WG turns...
