Player of the tournament may be one of Shaun Pollock, Lance Klusener, Jacques Kallis, Chris Cairns, Scott Styris, Jacob Oram, Andrew Flintoff, Virendra Sehwag, Abdul Razzaq (Pak), Chris Gayle, Adam Gilchrist, and all players who are good at more than one skill.

It may be a tournament for the power players- the express pace bowlers and the hard hitters.
I'd love nothing more than to see the express bowlers, Lee and Sami, hammered around the park and all those who try to smack it a million miles deceived and made to look foolish by the wily bowlers like Vaas, McGrath and Pollock.

Record belongs to Sachin-Dravid not Ganguly-Dravid !!! Get the facts correct .. :@ :p
Strange, I could have sworn Ganguly and Dravid at Taunton broke the record Dravid and Tendulkar set two days before.
When did Dravid and SRT get it back again.
Rest of the post.. :yawn:
Well it wasn't meant to be anything other than a random trail of thoughts. Look at the time of post.
Hope you take it well (;) :p)
I've had plenty of sarcastic nonsensical rubbish thrown at me by tooextracool and an occasional other, d'you really think that'll bother me? :p

3.20am? What? Why? Words fail me.. Don't you have a bed to sleep in?

As for partnerships: 331 between Tendulkar (186*) and Dravid (153) at Hyderabad in 1999 against the Kiwis.

All ODI 200 partnerships

Delkap 1-0 Dickinson
commone neil, we all know that his royal highness watches cricket more closely than you do and that cricinfo is always wrong. so if richard says it happened that way, then it happened that way.

Yeah, getting to sleep is so boring. 2:30 here, it's much more enervating... oh well... work to look forward to at 11:09 tomorrow.

Yes, I remember that now.
So no mitigation is allowed in the pityless Pickup World?
If not, equaliser to come, eventually, even if it's 15 years down the line...

Put it this way, if I say something happened one way and you say it happened another, it's infinately more likely it happened the way I say!
Incidentally, I can't ever remember saying I have clearly watched a match more closely than Neil. In fact, there was even an occasion where, sitting in the clubhouse watching the Third Test draw to a close as Thorpe and Giles put-on their crucial stand, I misquoted Giles' first-innings score by 2 runs and Neil was on-hand to correct me.
Compared to Mark-Ealham-hardly-ever-bowled-in-the-first-15-overs and all that... and "let's have a straw-poll because if everyone else says something happened in the way it didn't then that means the past is changed to make me right"...

Cricket is a power game...otherwise the Australians would not be miles ahead of the rest.

No, cricket is a skill game.

Like any other sport, power is useless if you don't have the skill to go with it.

In all honesty, if England can beat Zim and SL and get to the semis then I fully expect Andrew Flintoff to play a massive part in that.

Not any other sport. Simple pure power is very useful in 100m races, and World's Strongest Man etc...

And neither are any good unless you have guts and determination to go with the other assets.
