Best against the best

SA batsman have horrible record against OZ. Even kallis averages just 40 , Smith 37.

It will be Steyn+Morkel vs Australia. If OZ manage to play them well they might win the series.

One interesting stat,top 20 bowlers who did best vs india all pacers.Save mendis at no.15 for that fluke opening series ,considering we DO play spin well.Always thought maybe it might be a little exaggerated but this is a good stat.
As for sehwag vs murali i think in their respective primes it would be a even contest.Murali is An ATG and sehwag is a batstestsman that believes 'spinners shouldn't bowl'.Vaas vs sehwag i give odis to vaas easily,tests slightly sehwag.I don't think sehwag has had as much problem with in cutters as genuine inswingers in his prime.
As for 2005 sehwag was only into his 4rth intl yr and still certainly not the beast he is now.While vaas and murali were in their prime.Reverse can be said of next series.I do agree sehwag is mostly a FTB,but on subcontinent pitches he is probably the most destructive and feared batsman of all time.And that is reflected in his record in both sri lanka and pakistani venues.

True,ponting vs steyn will decide for me if he has any serious juice left in the tank for a big revival.

For some reason I have not rated Sehwag too highly because he didn't come across good Pakistan attacks. I would have liked to see Sehwag being tested a bit more to come to a better judgment regarding him.

Bowlers against India, sorted by Averages

Donald FTW. What a gun!

Pretty much every good fast bowler demolished India except Ambrose!
Yeah. That is what I noted too. The list is full of top fast bowlers.

Marshall has 6 fivers against India in just 14 tests :wacko:

Imran has 75 wickets against India during this time and 40 of them came in just one 6 match series

Pakistan's good attack played 10 test series against OZ and SA from 1990-2003.

Won 1 , lost 8, draw 1

The only win came when Mcgrath was injured during karachi test in 1994 and had to leave the match mid-way.

W/L of 0.2

Every team apart from SL performed well against OZ and SA in that period.

There is a reason i don't rate 2 Ws. Even in 1999 series vs India, saqlain did all the trouble.


There is a big question mark over 2 Ws against strong batting line ups.

Yeah the same series in which Srinath and Prasad outbowled Wasim and Waqar. :laugh::laugh:

So basically you are saying that srinath +prasad +kumble > Wasim+waqar+saqlain.
Thanks

No batsman in modern era, including Lara and Tendulkar, can
play better than Inzamam when the chips are down," said Imran.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Inzamam better than Lara, Tendulkar

Such a shame Inzamam couldn't do anything against OZ and SA . Averaged 23 in WC and 28 in finals of tournament.

If i am a troll then what is Imran ?

Excellent point again, Sehwag fan. Imran Khan was quite clearly trying to get a reaction out of CW posters. When that failed he sent you here.
