A great team needs to be great in ALL facets of the game, and nothing helps out great bowlers more than a great cordon. A great cordon is even more required with out great bowlers, because when that odd chance comes along it has to be taken.with kyear2 it seems that a great slip cordon is a requirement for being an ATG team.
I don't think a great slip cordon is something that makes a team great but rather an effect of having great bowlers
To repeat, not more important than having great bolwers, but a great compliment to them. Please name me one great team of modern cricket that didnt excell in all three aspects of the game. Please just watch cricket, taking that rediculous half chance can often time help turn the tide in a close game, the great teams don't or rarely drop chances, it just facts.
