    WI XI vs ROW XI (minus the Don) IN the WI.

    Piggybacking on subshakerz's thread the above is self explanatory. The Don is left out because quite frankly Australia alone would probably be able to beat the WI in WI if he's included. Below I'll list the WI XI with their home averages and my pick for a ROW to face them: Haynes @ 56 Greenidge...

    Curious to know everyone's thoughts on the strongest XIs they've seen play together. Don't know if this thread already exists either way just thought I'd share my thoughts. For me it's hard to go past these lineups Australia Langer Hayden Ponting* Martyn Hussey Clarke Gilchrist + Warne Lee...

    Auto Picks

    What I'm about to write might prove controversial but bear with me. I was thinking about the ATG XIs for each nation and was wondering what players past/present would you consider Auto picks for your countries. Here are mine: WI: Marshall, Sobers, Greenidge Eng: Trueman, Hammond Australia...

    Rank the Aussie achievements

    In my lifetime of watching cricket for better or for worst, Australia has been far and away the best team. In my lifetime (early 80s til now) theyve achieved some pretty unparalleled stuff. My question then is where do we rank some of these achievements. I'm particularly interested in the...

    Current Big 4 test all rounders.

    As we all know, the 80s was blessed with 4 legendary all rounders. The 90s and 00s imo didn't have too many to talk of (outside of Kallis and Pollock). Now imo there are a glut of world class all rounders. My questions are: who would you all consider the big 4 all rounders? How do they compare...

    Greatest Aussie fast bowler

    Think this thread is long overdue. We all know that Mr Warnie is regarded as the greatest Oz spinner (and possibly of all time), no comment about Bradman or Adam Gilchrist in their respective traits. Who exactly though, is the greatest Aussie paceman. I have narrowed it down to the following...

    West Indies Attacks early 80s vs present English attack

    A lot of banter has been going around on various message boards comparing the West Indies' pace attacks of the 1980s and the present English pace attack. The WI attacks Im talkin about would be those from the 1980 and 1981 test series in England and WI: Marshall Holding Croft Garner Garner...
