The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

Outfielder I presume? Or was he a really good catcher too?

He was great as red hill mentions and additionally he was a pretty good catcher too. I can't think of too many fast bowlers being better fielders than him off the top of my head

Kapil, Brett Lee, Garner, Trent Boult, James Anderson for sure.

Kapil, Brett Lee, Garner, Trent Boult, James Anderson for sure.

I had just woken up at that time but could only think of Shaun Pollock. And when i was thinking of fast bowlers I was thinking of the really outstanding ones like McG , Marshall, Lillee, Hadlee, Waqar, Walsh, Ambrose, Donald etc

He was a better outfielder than Kapil and Garner possibly (definitely not better than him at catching).

Kapil, Brett Lee, Garner, Trent Boult, James Anderson for sure.

I dunno if they're better. Garner was a gully specialist. Had lightning reflexes in there and could obviously cover vast distances with his reach.

The other guys were more outfielders I think (although Anderson is a very good slipper).

Brett Lee was a gun on the boundary.

With the T20 WC coming, what would be the best XI of T20 players so far?

Chris Gayle
Dave Warner
Shane Watson
Kevin Pietersen
Brendan McCullum
Kieron Pollard
Dan Vettori
Mitchell Starc

Who else?

 

[SuperMurali]

Yuvi?

 

[Flem274*]

Get Warner out and Ponting in.

I'd be picking Murali over Swann in any form of cricket. Murali was awesome in early T20 cricket IIRC.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hussey?

 

[Zinzan]

Hussey or Dussey?

 

[Gob]

This got me thinking, what would be the best t20 team from players who have never played any competitive game in this format

Barry Richards
Garry Sobers
Viv Richards c
Keith Miller
Javed Miandad
Ian Botham
Kapil Dev
Les Ames
Derek Underwood
Malcom Marshall
Dennis Lillee

Would hold their own imo

 

[Gob]

Thought of picking Mussey based entirely on his knock against Pakistan which imo is the greatest t20 knock ever

Marlon vs SL quite comfortably the best imo. But yeah, that was my rationale for Hussey too.

[honestbharani]
