Pietersen vs Sangakkara

[BigBrother]

I don't think anybody has ever said that was a ****ty minow-bashing innings only played to boost his average. But can't just not acknowledge how difficult it is for bowlers in that type of conditions.

I would say the recent Aus-Ind series is an extremely annoying example how the batsmen loving media and public harp on about the likes of Kohli and Smith and say very little about what the bowlers who bowled their heart out for very little reward.

If we are getting practical though, the only reason there was a "target" for SL to chase that game is because test cricket is limited to 5 days and Australia needed to declare for the win.

The only reason that he was chasing that score is because of the rules...

Definitely. If no rules there will be bottle cps around and it will be very rarely a match will last 5 days. Not to mention reverse swinging beamers.

Rules are there. **** happens, deal with it.

I'll never forget that Headingly innings against Steyn and co. One of the best knocks I have ever seen.

Don't remember a single of the snooze-fests that is your average Sanga double ton.

 

[Antihippy]

The one against NZ in NZ this year was pretty damn good.

 

[Grumpy]

I don't remember it.

Case closed.

Sanga to take a hat trick.

 

[cnerd123]

Does Sanga bowl lefthanded too?

If so I back the Sanga XI

 

[Maximas]

Pretty sure Sanga bowls right arm filth

 

[Shady Slim]

two games of simmed ODIs:

KP XI (488/1 50.0 ov) d. Sanga XI (312/3 50.0 ov) by 166runs
Sanga XI (240/6 50.0 ov) d. by KP XI (243/3 29.5 ov) by 7wk

KP wag, restricting 8 Sangas to just 240 in 50 overs

 

[Shady Slim]

is there a test simulator that could get used to simulate Sanga XI vs KP XI tests?

KP XI won by an Innings and 371 runs.

 

[Spark]

sanga xi clearly cheating getting mcgrath on to bowl

have to question kp's bowling rating slightly though

 

[cnerd123]

Geez getting Sanga out 20 times at 21.65 per wicket is seriously impressive.

Maybe he can replace Moeen in the playing XI.
