    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    The 1970s test team that beat the Aussies 4-0 was a very strong team. packed with world class players, the possible team of the 80s too had many class players, anyone who knows cricket should and can see that, their performances in WSC and Rebel tours prove that,

    Who is the 2nd greatest Kiwi Bowler?

    Chris Cairns would be above Chatfield imo, anyone who could take a 5 wicket haul against the Aussies at that time has to be rated, no way should he not be on that list,

    Who is the 2nd greatest Kiwi Bowler?

    statistics wise it would have to be Clarrie Grimmett if he is to be classed as a Kiwi,,, Bond is probably 2nd Best but such a short career, Boult, Cairns and Cowie would be the next in line, you have to bear in mind who they bowled against too,

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Its about opinions, i think Fleming was a bit better than Taylor, agreed he didnt convert enough of hid 50s in to centuries. however imo he had the edge over Ross, not sure i can name 5 better batsmen than Fleming though, Bert Sutcliffe is a possibility but i never saw him play, 1966 is my...

    South Africa team selection

    @ Nintendo, pretty much agree with what you say, i would not dismiss Brand just yet, especially for the sub continent where is spin bowling would be valuable. may be the South African selectors should start reading posts on this forum. they seem to be clueless, LOL.

    South Africa team selection

    First time poster, although i have been reading this site for some time, for me South Africas fast bowling is as strong as ever, Rabada, Nortje, Jansen, Ngidi, Coetzee and Burger. the batting is the problem especially in tests. with little test cricket being played by the Proteas , now is the...
