[The Battlers Prince]

My team or gtfo

 

[mr_mister]

who would chuck their vote behind that abysmal top 3

 

[jimmy101]

Dan's team is the best to be frank. Great teams selected by everyone though!

 

[mr_mister]

don't rate Freddie so Dan isn't in my raw top 3 but considering it's rude to vote for yourself i threw one to him. I acknowledge Procter @ 8 is great depth


My other 2 were for King Kallis and morgieb who I feel mustered up great teams

 

[OverratedSanity]

Slifer, stphn and Dan are the best ones imo. Batting depth is rare here and it deserves to be rewarded. Slifer didn't have the depth of the other two but the bowling is too insanely good to ignore.

morgieb a close 4th

 

[mr_mister]

Batting depth should mean more than just batting down to 9. I feel my top 7 would outscore stphns

 

[StephenZA]

I think you are seriously underestimating my top 6.... but each to their own.

 

[mr_mister]

not to scoff at FC achievements or your players I just prefer mine

 

[mr_mister]

anyway its silly I even picked on you its only coz OS mentioned it


I truly think my only weakness is Laird and he proved himself against Marshall and co

 

[Slifer]

I'm thinking my teams batting probably leaves a lot to be desired but my bowling I think is tops. 2 definite atm fast bowlers, an atg spinner and the last pacemen would've certainly been an atg but for injuries.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

MrMister, you are seriously overrating Ranatunga imo.

I think Morgie and Red Hill have the best top 6 batting lineups and Slifer's side would be a great fielding unit which is an undervalued quality.

 

[mr_mister]

I have a lot of respect for Ranatunga, he scored a ****ton of fifties against ATG bowlers. An average of 35 looks pretty crumby I'll give you that but the way his career panned out he had to play the majority of his tests in the 90s (coz Sri Lanka played them so rarely in the 80s) and so had to face the following a lot. Waqar/Wasim, Ambrose/Walsh, Pollock/Donald and Warne/McGrath

My heart goes out to any bastmen really in the 1990s though

 

[The Battlers Prince]

When I watched him in the 90's I was never impressed by his batting. His attitude didn't impress me either, if things didn't go his way he'd have a sulk. 2 massive changes have come about because of his ***** approach to cricket. Top class fielder too

 

[mr_mister]

WC winning captain though!

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Lol sure, so did Ricky Ponting.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah and he's good too

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Ponting's not a good captain. Great fielder and batsman though.
Which is what won the 95/96 WC for Sri Lanka. Jayasuria reinvented the role of opener and set alight that World Cup in their favour allowing the middle order more time to build an innings.
I thought this was a test side we were voting on anyhow?

 

[mr_mister]

I was defending Arjuna as a batsman full stop

 

[jimmy101]

Arjuna was a great batsman. Always asked questions of the bowlers, could bat at several different tempos depending on the game situation, had an array of exquisite shots both forward and behind the wicket, knew how to build a partnership. He was basically the Misbah-ul-haq of his time. An often underrated player whose captaincy proved to be world-beating.

I know TBP & Mr_mister both love Arjuna.
