    Carl Hooper vs Arjuna Ranatunga (batting)

    Ranatunga. Held in the innings, fought it out, average does not reflect his quality. He also a handy middle order run scorer and in a crises too. Hooper was also good and a handy bowler too. I'll just give it to Arjun.

    Foster Vs Read Vs Jones who was the better keeper batsman? And which two would you have?

    I've seen all three play. Read was on the cards, circle and then Foster came along. Jones did put up a fight and start off competently. For me, it is Jones. Looks like a Jones and Foster tie. However Foster could well be the better keeper out of the three.

    How would 80s WI and 2000s Australia fare in unbeatable current India?

    West indies. Australia do have the batting and bowling resources, however the bowling power of the WI would just overpower the Australians. Would be a fascinating contest.

    Was this player fundamentally ignored because of pace?

    10k a year in 1988 would've lasted for the whole year and still way above the yearly salary for normal workers. Maybe £12k a year in 1999 for a 'normal county' players for six months of work. Which is slightly above the salary of normal workers. However attendance and merchandise sales may have...

    Was this player fundamentally ignored because of pace?

    40,000 pounds back in 1994 a ridiculous amount of money. It's like earning £120k as an accountant or marketing or web developer today with not much years of experience. However I don't think the general county player playing for Northamptonshire or Leicester earnt that much for six months worth...

    Was this player fundamentally ignored because of pace?

    Unfortunately county players had to work normal jobs for six months back then. Not sure how much county players got paid back in the late 90s.

    Was this player fundamentally ignored because of pace?

    TBF, Bicknell's last test was impressive. Two wickets in the first and four vital wickets in the second. Did brilliant in the FC and one day county circuit.

    Was this player fundamentally ignored because of pace?

    The 99 world cup squad wasn't amazing. Think it changed after the 99 world cup. They brought in central contracts I think £30k a year in 2000. Which was back then, a very very good yearly salary. Considering back then the minimum wage must've been £4.50 per hour for a 40 hours a working week.
