    Best Player of Reverse Swing

    Ummmm... generally those batsmen who play the ball with 'soft hands' are finest against reverse swing and conventional swing. Dravid springs to my mind, he was SUPERB against swing/seam. Graham Gooch deserves a mention too.....Malcolm Marshall was getting huge reverse swing in the same game...

    Did King Viv had any weakness?

    Warne, Kumble, Murali and Saqlain - the 1990's spinners...... The 4 above might have given Viv a tough time had he batted in the 1990's.

    Did King Viv had any weakness?

    Viv Richards......Easily the greatest Test batsman in my book, was a destroyer of pace. But some cricket pundits have said about his vulnerability to quality spin. Is it true?

    Should Ishant Sharma be shown the door?

    I get ROYALLY PISSED when people say that he is unlucky, unlucky, unlucky...... 133 wickets in 45 Tests, average = 37.19 and strike rate of 65.2. BALLS HE IS UNLUCKY!!!:@ Ishant, if you can't ****in take wickets.LEAVE.

    Does Virender Sehwag deserve to be called an ALL TIME GREAT?

    It HARDLY matters how good he is against spin. Great players are those who play swing and pace well.....:@ I can't remember any legendary batsman struggling against spin.

    Does Virender Sehwag deserve to be called an ALL TIME GREAT?

    IMHO, the most OVERRATED cricketer of all time. Almost all batting legends never had any technical vulnerabilities. But Sehwag just SUCKS against decent swing/seam bowling. Standing rooted at the crease and flailing the bat will get you runs in the subcontinent, but at the same time makes you...

    Was THAT Perth innings of Tendulkar really deserved to be called his best knock?

    **RARE SACHIN** SACHIN TENDULKAR 114 vs AUSTRALIA, PERTH 1991/92 "BEST ON YOUTUBE" - YouTube Most experts not only call that as his best, but also one of the greatest knocks played on Australian soil. Few myths here: 1. The pitch was fast and bouncy: Wrong. The bounce looked decent but the...

    Was Glenn Mcgrath ALWAYS a medium pacer, or did he bowl quick sometimes?

    Ishant Sharma is a fine example. When he bowled that great spell to Ponting at Perth, he was mostly around 135-137 kph mark, but his line and length was superb and made Ponting look like an amateur. 4 years down, he bowls consistently 90+ mph now but his length is bad. As a result, Ponting is...

    Was Glenn Mcgrath ALWAYS a medium pacer, or did he bowl quick sometimes?

    Saw some footage of 1996 World Cup. Mcgrath had some BITE in his bowling, good pace and nippy. Post 2000, his bowling has been very accurate but BORING. Secondly, how fast was Mcgrath in early to mid 1990's?

    How fast were Merv Hughes and Craig Mcdermott in 1991/92 series vs India

    There were no speed guns back then. But how fast they could have been? What were their speeds range?
