Jacques Kallis vs Glenn Mcgrath

Also, lying to your keeper what you will bowl is a huge dick move.

No. It's cool.

 

[capt_Luffy]

No. It's cool.

Why? Have you tried it?? Told you keeper trying a googly and then bowled the ball over the keepers head???

what makes you think anyone in this subforum can bowl anything but full tosses

 

[kyear2]

Agreed. The best batsman to bat at 5/6 while wicketkeeping is undoubtedly Andy Flower.

Should at least be a world class keeper if you're taking that spot.

 

[kyear2]

Lol. You really think Flower would be able to keep to Murali or Marshall?

So just took a brief glance at some of the matches that Flower kept while batting at 5.

Has anyone ever looked at the amount of byes he let through?

So just for kicks and giggles I took a look...

I'm seeing innings with 17, 19, 14. Then I found a game with 0, and would you guess it, it was a game he captained but didn't keep.

Decided to look at Gilly, and again totally random, and just a handful, but the most I found in a game was 6. Multiple games with 0, keeping to leggies that turned the ball ferociously and Brett Lee.

The gentleman wasn't a world class keeper.

Again I ask, don't we think that if a keeper who batted like him and was world class existed, that we wouldn't have heard about it.

And on the flip side, do you know how poor one would have to be as a keeper who averaged over 50, and is never in an ATG discussion?

If no other question @capt_Luffy and @DrWolverine think about that one. How badly would one have to perform as a keeper, that you would average over 50 and get no consideration or discussion for an AT World team.

 

[kyear2]

Just ask Murali to turn it less bro! And seriously, keeping to Marshall won't be that tough.

Dujon didn't have the absolute best footwork, but have u ever seen his keep to Marshall?

I only bowl leg breaks.

 

[kyear2]

Walcott>Flower

Easily.

Bowling leg breaks is easier than bowling a full toss on a 22 yard pitch.

 

[Johan]

Yeah bowling spin is the easiest thing in the world

 

[sayon basak]

Yeah bowling spin is the hardest thing in the world

Yeah sure.

 

[Jumno]

Mcgrath for me. Poll is even now.

If Alan Knott kept to Prasidh Krishna bowling his first two overs at the SCG, and let a ton of byes - is that on Knott or on Krishna?

Not saying it’s as simple as that, but it’s also not as reductive as you made it.
