Where would Moeen Ali bat in your world XI?

[Burgey]

I think the Grade Cricketer's take on Moeen's performance in this match probably sums it up best.

lol people are still pretending that Shakib is an international class cricketer?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Yup

Yeah, just another hack like Border.

 

[Prince EWS]

I swear you mention Border five times more than Burgey does these days.

 

[Burgey]

HB just misses discussing TOTAB and extolling his virtues. And who can blame him?

 

[honestbharani]

So its working.

 

[TheJediBrah]

When Shakib takes 7 for against the best side in the world then he can be compared to Border (as a bowler)

 

[Burgey]

Misguided Shakib love is misguided.

He took a 7-fer against New Zealand. I remember someone telling me they were the greatest side since sliced bread a couple of years back.

If he was Australian you'd want him as the front line spinner. Which would be funny, but it's true.

Lyon isn't fit to be mentioned in the same breath as the greats Border and Shakib

He's around Liam Dawson standard, maybe a bit better. Wouldn't make my uni side.

 

[Burgey]

Try harder, Daemon.

Try even harder.

At least you're implying that Border's as good a bowler as Shakib, maybe better since you put him first.

Definitely a side that could rise to the occasion. You've got the crusty openers and the bread and butter stroke makers in the middle...
