    How fast was Frank Tyson really?

    These are athletes coming from USA or has easy access to USA. Other than for middle distance running there are not many athletes from African countries where they have less access. Even then we don't see express pace bowlers coming from African nations. Pace bowling needs flexibility as well as...

    Is there a ROW that can beat the SC XI?

    Yes. This is not SL XI or BAN XI. This has some serious pacers.

    Is there a ROW that can beat the SC XI?

    Lara's problem in this line up is three pacers. Wasim, Imran and Bumrah. As soon as he comes in, the captain will bring in fast bowlers from one end or both.

    All-Time Sri Lanka XIs - ODIs

    Upul Chandana, Other than for pretty attacking leg spin, he could do this too. And an elite ATG fieldsman. One of the best in the era.

    All-Time Sri Lanka XIs - ODIs

    It would be over Chandana or Dharmasena. Issue is he is not a good bowler as either. He is a destructive batsman when in form, but Chandana and Dharmasena both have similar averages, are also pretty handy with the bat with added ability to drop anchor, play boring and run very hard between...

    All-Time Sri Lanka XIs - ODIs

    Atapattu Kaluwitharana+ KJP Chandimal* Liyanage D. Mendis Chandana Dharmasena Rumesh Ratnayake / Champaka Ramanayake Zoysa Lakmal This is how this XI going to look like. I still think Atapattu and Chandana deserve way more respect.

    A. Asalanka. Kusal Mendis is a disgrace. B) Kusal Perera, Dinesh Chandimal, Janith Liyanage C) Upul Chandana

    Is there a ROW that can beat the SC XI?

    Don't think other teams like facing it too in India. The issue is the pitch, not the ball. We can get an idea what Indian pitches were for Murali by looking at ODIs. Ind India he averages 28 with the ball. Against India in India he averages 35. Against others it is 23. The issue was not Indian...

    Is there a ROW that can beat the SC XI?

    Nope. Murali was not entirely suited for Indian tracks against Indians. Any other team trying to match Indians on Indian pitches against Murali, are for a rude surprise. Ditto for Warne.

    Aravinda De Silva vs VVS Laxman

    Once again he has two phases in his career. Pre 1994, Mad max phase, where he was terrible against spin, but ridiculously good against pace. Averages 65 in Aus, 98 in NZ but 38 in Pakistan and 15 in India and 17 in ENG. Then comes the phase where he tones down his aggression, reflexes slowing...

    Which country XI that can beat ATG England XI in England?

    There are two more in that mold, who were finger spinners. One is Jasubhai Patel. Other is late jayananda Warnaweera. Issue is both had suspect actions. I haven't seen Patel bowling other than for a odd clip or two. Warnaweera however was brutal, even on flat pitches. Bowled at the pace around...

    Marshall. Hadlee. McGrath vs Gavaskar. Richards. Bradman. Sachin. Hutton.

    Add Murali to the bowlers and I will go with them Add Gilly / Sanga, still I will go with bowlers Take Rickards and Tendulkar out, add Sobers and Kallis I will go with the batsmen.

    Aravinda De Silva vs VVS Laxman

    Aravinda in South Africa is basically nothing much, because it was the fag end of his career. Against West Indies didn't play much. He is never the accomplished player of the moving ball. Pollock troubled him way more than Donald, Schultz, Ambrose or Walsh, give an idea what kind of a player he...

    Is there a ROW that can beat the SC XI?

    That is window of respite for them. Not for Dravid, but Sehwag, Gavaskar, Miandad, tendulkar and Sanga all going to have a go at Warne some time or another. Picking O'Riely makes that pretty hard.

    Chandana is a better batter, bowler andfielder than Hasaranga

    Marshall, McGrath, Hadlee & Murali vs Richards, Sachin, Smith & Sobers

    You needs six batters to balance them, five if Bradman included.

    Is there a ROW that can beat the SC XI?

    Let's see Hobbs Hutton Bradman Lara Lloyd Harvey Gilchrist Hadlee O'Riely Marshall McGrath This will give a good run for the money. Obvious choices of Lara and Lloyd over Richards was due to ability to play spin. Ditto Harvey. If Shoaib made the team then would have to think of players that...
