Chris Cairns vs Flintoff?

[ankitj]

You guys are arguing with someone who just admitted he only saw Cairns against 90s Pakistan

Who? trundler? He was in diapers when Cairns retired.

Other than Kumble and Srinath, did any indian bowlers reach 100 wickets from like '94-'01? IE where Kumble and Srinath held them together between Dev retiring and Harbie and Zaheer emerging

It was nearly a decade of really slim pickings. Prasad was decent for sure, but didn't even hit 100 wickets himself, a sign of a pretty inconsequential career

That Indian fans once pinned their hopes on Prasad to win games shows the poverty in Indian pace department at the time. I remember being Prasad fanboy for about 6 months after he took a 10-fer at Durban.

Since it keeps getting mentioned, I'd like to point out Cairns' 2 Zim tons came in '96 and '2000 an era I feel it's unfair to refer to them as minnows

Streak, Brandes and Paul Strang in '96

Streak, Olonga, Mbwanga and Paul Strang in '00


Not pushover attacks

all of those dudes bar streak are mediocre at best.

They're not Rubel Hossain level minnow though which was my point. Hell most averaged about what Ventakash Prasad did

 

[trundler]

That's a middling attack but it's not worse than WI in 00s.

You can also call him Prasad.
