Root or Border

Great shout. Personally I think Root's a better bowler than Border.

I reckon Root might be about as good as you can get.

How does Border have a better average than Root? That surprised me. Gatting can't get the blame for that one either.

Miandad, but for whatever reason didn't bowl as much as he should have in Tests. Had a great first class record.

On that record, Hazare was a proper batting allrounder in FC games, averaging just a bit over 24; but was a really poor bowler in Test matches.

'Hilarious' how people dig around on here to try to invent contrived accusations of racism/xenophobia against people based on absolutely nothing other than their own warped imaginations, when concurrently blatant and extreme xenophobia/racism against English/British people is welcomed with open arms.

As I said, that was just how I misread the post. Not reflective of my own personal views. I have the utmost respect for my own ancestors, who hailed from Britain.
