    Either way Chappell played well into the 80s and would have faced those bowlers at numerous stages of their careers.

    ICC Sim League XI

    On raw numbers alone, I'd probably say that Australia are the strongest team in this comp. I was kinda worried they were gonna run away with it before the tournament began tbh & felt you were doing the other players a charity when you selected your 1995-spec squad. Obvs Hayden & Martyn would...

    How good was Gilchrist?

    Have no idea why everyone is so worked up here & taking "best stumper ever" so literally. Why not just agree to discuss best stumpers from the past 50 years & take it from there?
