    Is Langer Trying to mock akhter?

    Langer is in good enough form to paste him, but thats still an audacious and arrogant comment.

    How successful would 'The Don' be if he was playing in the current era?

    Harold Larwood is one of the great fast bowlers. He used to inspire fear in opposition batsman due to his PACE, he was not the same pace as Sarfaz Narwaz as stated earlier in this thread, that is the silliest thing I have ever heard. The memories of an old man with no profile are hardly likely...

    Mark Richardson to retire?

    you mean their haircut im guessing. cos mills is about a foot taller. How or papps will come in to partner sinclair. if how makes big runs in the next game it would be hard to turn him down.

    Daniel Vettori

    The pitch at the WACA was not a 'turner' by any stretch of the imagination, I watched the entire match and Vettori took his wickets by flight and guile and a lot of overspin and bounce. There wasn't significant sidespin for either spinner. If it was such a turner then why did Damien Martyn...

    Top 5 pacers of the world!

    Agarks Buts Mills Hoggy Sami = Horse of course McGrath Harmison Vaas Gillespie Flintoff could go close (Akhtar not considered as he will never be considered by me)

    Eng vs. SA head to head?

    and technique too, thats my basis for strauss over gibbs, i reckon he has a better technique. BTW my team is to play vs Australia and I've just decided to swap Ntini for Hoggard, just so I can hear Mark Nicholas call him Hoggy.

    Eng vs. SA head to head?

    If I had to pick a lineup from the two squads I'd go for (combining form and history): G. Smith A. Strauss J. Kallis M. Vaughan G. Thorpe A. Flintoff M. Boucher S. Pollock N. Boje (still better than Giles and a far superior bat) M. Ntini S. Harmison

    Which Team Has The Most Allrounder's????

    This thread didn't say genuine/classical allrounders, it just said allrounders. An allrounder in the contempary sense, which is why they are bits and pieces types sometimes, to me means someone who is capable of making contributions on a consistent basis with their least strong suit. I think...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia Thread

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia Thread

    I open the bowling, try and bowl quickish outswing, get it through pretty well if im in rhythm, which is a key word for me as im slight, i mean no agarkar or anything but not that big either, i guess 5"11 and 77kgs, i struggle in the wind as i get buffeted around and theres heaps of bloody wind...

    **Official** New Zealand in Australia Thread

    what do you bowl? I enjoy playing 1st grade so much more because we have proper umpires and i can get lbws. im pretty gutted not to get more games in 1st grade this year, my stats in 1st grade this year 6-71 off 19 overs and 24 runs for 0 outs. And then.. dropped. I been working on my...

    Why is Vaughan Practically Useless In One Dayers

    If thats what you think then its you who is pathetic.

    Bolwer rotation for tests

    If that was me I would never agree to it. I have respect for the forthright way in which the ACB generally conducts itself, however this would be a shocker!

    Told ya

    Flintoff is now a top-draw world class allrounder, for me it has been his bowling which has been the greatest revelation. He is decidedly more pacy than I ever imagined.

    Why is Vaughan Practically Useless In One Dayers

    It does seem to be an anomaly, however I can see him doing a lot better than Slater. For starters he is a much better player than Slater and has more shots, so can probably adapt better to the oneday game. You'd be a fool to drop him, he's just too good, he's a class act.
