The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

[Malcolm]

My bad. Edited

 

[Borges]

Wasim - 38 matches 55 wickets 23.34 average 4.04 ECO 2 MOM

Vaas - 31 matches 49 wickets 21.22 average 3.97 ECO 3 MOM

Word Cups, is it? The CricketWeb consensus would be obvious: Vaas is a moderate upgrade over Akram.

 

[stephen]

Vaas is underrated because he happened to be a less than great test bowler. He was better in ODIs and the best quick Sri Lanka have ever had.

 

[Starfighter]

the best quick Sri Lanka have ever had.

Not a high bar to clear really.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Neil Johnson
52.4 with bat
19.4 with ball

And this came in 1999 world cup, probably the most high quality world cup of them all. He played against teams superior to his own which makes it even more impressive.

 

[Borges]

Both the #pressure crowd and the moderate upgrade crowd would have his name as the first one on their team sheet.

 

[h_hurricane]

The greatest ODI batsman of all time at 7.

I find it more amusing that he has missed all three out of Mcgrath, Wasim and Garner.

And Murali too.

 

[stephen]

And Murali too.

Yeah the one Sri Lankan bowler who actually deserves to be there isn't.

I thought he would become an Odi giant.

 

[Borges]

He is an ODI giant; compared to him, Akram is a pygmy.
Haven't you heard yet? Only World Cups count, all other ODIs are meaningless, moderate upgrade etc. etc.

 

[Red]

Is this the strongest team that could be produced using players whose first name and surname start with the same letter?


Gordon Greenidge
Graham Gooch
Richie Richardson
Steve Smith
Colin Cowdrey
Chris Cairns
Tatenda Taibu +
Malcolm Marshall
Colin Croft
Bishen Bedi
Muttiah Muralitharan

 

[Red]

Could interchange Patrick Patterson for Bedi on a pacy wicket.

 

[AndrewB]

Or Peter Pollock.

 

[stephen]

Roger Ramjet for 12th man.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Keith killer

 

[MrPrez]

Morne Morkel is another pace bowling option but I would take Peter Pollock first anyway.

There is such a bada$$ feel about having first and second name starting with the same letter,isn't it ? Across the world, Marilyn Monroe, Boris Becker come to mind.
