They really didn’t though. If you were worried about SL doing a number on your side in any format in the 2000s you were plainly mediocre. Fmd Chaminda Vaas tearing in with the new rock and dishing up under 17s rep standard stuff. Tres intimidating. Kulwhosakera? Come on. However will we score off them?
yessssss. ****ing gun.
Still ****ing hurts that century.
Great player. Could watch him all day.
yes, with (from memory) something like 70+ wickets at about 15 a piece. That's definitely a significant portion. McGrath barely played minnows at all from what I recall

You are so stupid you believed for years that someone actually did this, really weird flex that you keep bringing it up
Weren't they the same? Or did you mean the Shield?
Yeah, thought they really turned a corner with Reon King, Franklyn Rose and Merv Dillon showing up in 1998. Then the first two went to pieces.
Such a talented trio too. Still think big Merv would have been a ****ing good 3rd seamer after those two.
Yeah I think looking back on it their bowling got them way up the rankings over the batting. I think the batting was pretty ordinary for a lot of the 90s, when you look back at it. Kirsten was really good late in the decade but Gibbs got better later on as did Kallis. Cronje was pretty average really and Rhodes was loveable but cod ordinary overall.
Nah Kulasekara got to number 1 in the ODI rankings - very similar bowler to Kyle Mills. Malinga and Vaas were ODI greats and Mendis was amazing when he started.
yeah that was probablywhen it looked like they might put something decent together but they just went backwards.Weren't they the same? Or did you mean the Shield?

Tragic what happened to him.
Economy was more important than taking wickets in the 90s. Larsen and Harris were better than 2/3 of those bowlers listed above.
