[jimmy101]

In all likelihood, if Steyn met Marshall on a cricket field, the universe would surely implode.

 

[Howe_zat]

In all likelihood, if Steyn met Marshall on a cricket field, the universe would surely implode.

Agree. Considering that one of them is dead, causality will have been violated and so presumably relativity along with it

I hope the umpire packed the heavier set of bails with him then. We could be in for some unusual playing conditions.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Saffer's batting depth might clinch the series for them

Shaun Pollock scoring a century on a greentop wtf

Series over

After the first match setback, WI came back strongly with arguably the greatest fast bowling unit of all time

No arguably about it AFAIC.

 

[Howe_zat]

Before you do the other semi I just want to change my batting order a little

1. Barnes
2. Morris
3. Brown
4. Bradman
5. Hassett

 

[jimmy101]

Can anyone suggest anyone I should sub in for S Ramesh? He made a few ducks last series and am thinking of swapping him with someone but don't know who

 

[mr_mister]

maybe throw Kaif in and move Sachin/Ganguly/Laxman up to parnter Sehwag

however Ramesh's record is better

 

[jimmy101]

Yeah i suppose Ramesh is my best option. Ill be keeping an eye on him though. Srinath is under the microscope too after an average series agsinst aus '01. Possibly might sub in Prasad or Agarkar for him if he has a couple more rough games
