But is that record really impressive when SA has won just 1 series at home against AUS/ENG in last 17 years ?

It is an impressive record regardless. And during their peak Aus were the only team that could beat them at home.

I want to be able to pull off such confidence when I make random assertions at work.

Yeah. Time to create another Ashwin 20-pager thread now.
What makes you think it was too much burden? His personal perfomances were great, his win rate is the best of any RSA captain, and he wanted it.

Cummins+McGrath+Gillespie in Asian conditions is HOT

True but their secret sauce in 2004 was Kasprowicz I thought. He was pretty important in the results they achieved in the SC in that 2004 and a year before and after period.

I didn't watch the series live so can't comment with 100% faith but kaspro averaged 34 in Asia over his career. Not bad for a pacer but nowhere near Gillespie or McGrath.

I meant the role he played. He was almost their second spinner by keeping it very tight, bowling cutters and reverse swing, picking the odd wicket but generally bowling a lot of overs providing control for the captain.

He also won a game in India in 1998, if I remember.

He definitely wasn't as good as McGrath and Gillespie in Asia, but he was always seen as a bit of an Asian specialist, based mostly on that one 1998 series. Bit of a myth tbh but had some truth behind it

When you have bradman in your team,every one would be confident.As I mentioned ‘most likely’beat.That team even without bradman is an ATG team itself.
Barnes
Morris
Bradman(c)
Hassett
Harvey
Brown/loxton
Miller
Lindwall
Tallon(wk)
Ian Johnston/mccool
Bill Johnston
A atg batting line up,one of ,if not the greatest/strongest of all time.If brown plays instead of loxton then 6 batsman with an average over 45.With bradman’s 99.94.An atg all rounder Miller.Atg fast bowler lindwall,atg Keeper tallon.Bill Johnston a ATVG bowler.Looks as good as any team ever.
