I guess if youve got Brett Lee bowling at someone like Tendulkar at full pace, batsman/non australians want Tendulkar to hit him for 6.

Bowlers/Australians want Lee to hit him in the head.

i beg to differ!....boundaries are a lot more fun to watch!( this is coming frm a biased batsman!...oh! look...aliteration!!!!)

Well 4's and sixes can come by the masses yet there can only be a max of 10 wickets per innings and that makes them moments to cherish

Hey buddy these players are not dire. By naming them dire you made a dire post.

In my opinion,they are & my opinions are based on their performances in Tests only.

Hard to look past Saj Mahmood, in terms of absolutely mad selections in very strong teams.. and Thami Tsolekile.. Mahmood is the worst bowler I have ever seen on TV, apart from that Lagaan film

u have watched lagaan too lol... it is funny how he hits the last ball for six... some filmy moments there....


it would have to be none other than AJIT agerkar... most people camper him to sami but i think sami is better.. at least he has the ability t bowle over 90 miles per hour...

There is no bowler in Lagaan worse than Sajid Mahmood.

Even with my Need for Speed, I still think Mahmood is crap.

Saj is terrible and Ive fought many battles on here over it.

However, Ive seen plenty worse than Tsolekile

Paul Franks

Only agree with Blackwell in the Test lot TBH. The rest all had their merits; Knight was a fine player with one fatal flaw; Salisbury was a decent wristspinner (by far the best produced by England for probably about 50 years) who just couldn't bowl the right sorts of line; Habib was a good batsman who was never given a fair go (not that I was that sorry as his continued inclusion would have been at the expense of Atherton, a far superior player); Ormond was a decent if unspectacular seamer of whom far worse have reprisented us; and Ward was a pretty good opener who was never given a chance to open in Tests.

Blackwell, though, should never have come near ODIs, never mind Tests.

Agree fulsomely with the ODI three BTW.

 

[cpr]

Dont forget Ormond was selected thinking ahead to a tour of India (i think), where he was expected to bowl off spin as well as seam.

Franks, bit harsh, was a better bowler back then, and capable of scoring decent and quick in OD. Bit of a poor mans Glenn Chapple
