Looks like Emotional damage . . .

 

[TheJediBrah]

I thought you'd be impressed I could name that many Sri Lankan bowlers

 

[Fuller Pilch]

the systematic tampering that series was far worse than any mankading.

Possibly the worst thing England cricket has done and that is saying something in a world where Bodyline, Stokes/Hales, 2019 WC final cheating, Yorkshire racism etc. all happened

All pale in comparison to the events of 1 February, 1981.

I have seen Aravinda taking Waqar's reverse swing to cleaners. Wasim was much mor subtle, and Imran was probably the best among Pakistanis.

But it is Vaas, because for multiple reasons.

Aravinda became great post 95 when Waqar peak had passed

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Waqar early 90s vs NZ

Wasim says Martin Crowe was the best at playing it.

 

[trundler]

Vaas may be. Achieved it at 125k, and cleanly without bottlecaps, vaslin, jelly beansc scrathching or sand paper.

That's just drift

Wasim bowled that yorker to Robert Croft, maybe, that swung both ways and pinned him on the crease, but was somehow not given.

 

[Line and Length]

Simon Jones (regardless of any ball tampering)

Can’t believe you omitted the fusarium pitch

Is this about Underwood or Laker? Gotta be more specific with English cheating.

 

[ankitj]

It's Waqar 90-95 it's not even close was there ball tampering yes likely but to be honest most reverse swing spells in history have been done with external support.

Mate wanted to tell you this for a long time punctuations exist

 

[TheJediBrah]

Simon Jones (regardless of any ball tampering)

I scored 500 in a Test match once (regardless it was on Cricket Coach 2007)

fr though those mints were deadly. Jones, Hoggard, Flintoff these guys were unplayable at times that series

 

[Burgey]

Reverse swing after 12 overs on the greenest swards in world cricket. And never reproduced it again.

Underwood 1972.

Rest of the ground was as green as any in the world, save the one 22 yard patch they were playing on which had a rare form of fungus which made it tailor made for him.

The bastards. The horrible, horrible bastards.

So doctoring pitches to suit your spinners is "cheating"? A few proud Test-playing nations might want a word with you
