Good to see the selective away record argument is back

Home OR away, Root is just better.

I’m sure Williamson will fix his record in most places. He’s too good not to. He’s been ridicously good at home in recent years.

Im more concerned about Kohli who looks like he’s about to pull an Amla.

To do that, he'd need to actually play. Hiding from having his stats wrecked, unlike Kohli who is facing up to it (and should be shot for doing it).

When making a list of modern players who impacted the game my thoughts turned to how weird it felt to putting Warnies name down and knowing he’s a deceased player. With that in mind.

a deceased xi

Hobbs
Sutcliffe
Bradman*
Hammond
Barrington
Miller
Oldfield+
Lindwall
Marshall
Warne
Trueman

and a living XI to take them on

Gavaskar
Hayden
Lara
Tendulkar
Kallis
Sobers*
Gilchrist+
Hadlee
Steyn
Muralitharan
McGrath

 

[Nikhil99.99]

Hobbs
Hutton
Bradman(c)
Grace(5)(vc)
Headley
Nourse/Miller(in fast bowling friendly pitch)

Living xi

in your deceased eleven dude you have grace in there.do you think the better option would be hammond? Because as well as being a stellar bat he was a more than useful bowler and he could field a bit!a very useful cricketer.

Hammond was a great great player.Sometimes makes my World xi.Probably will replace him at 6 instead of Nourse.
Grace is the champion so he is always welcome in my side.

This should be a great battle.I am expecting a really low scoring series if the match is with everyone at their peak.Regardless of the pich imo.I don’t see anyone except bradman averaging over 50.
Over a 5 match series I think Southern Hemisphere xi will win.

 

[Coronis]

Idk just thinking about that last statement, thinking about the best recent batsman and bowler I can remember over a single series, I still think say 2019 Ashes Smith would still score a couple of tons in a series against 2013-14 Ashes Johnson. Then again, thats all part of the fun of these hypotheticals isn’t it?
