    How do you rate Allan Lamb?

    I think if we didn't keep stats and you asked me without showing me the figures his average I would have said mid 40s. Was just below the three Gs for my money

    Shafted.............

    Barnes the Aussie version for sure. Miller almost when left out of a tour to SA, only a SOS after injury saved him and surprise, surprise he was put straight into the Test team. Ron Archer Test player at 19 retired mid 20s after a knee injury. Jack Massie son of hugh, looked like the next...

    I love the story when he was given a standing ovation for blocking three shooters in a row at Lords. You can almost guarantee when the ball keeps low the modern batsman misses it.

    The third best spinner of all time?

    I think Tiger better than both of them. Again modern players have longer careers does not make them better bowlers imo. Both were fine bowlers having said that:)

    SRT fans bring this on themselves, with their silly arguments. I don't see anyone on here writing SRT is anything other than an all time great Very true Sachin just plays great cricket, I am sure he would never claim to be the equal of the Don. Agree Cricinfo should not publish this sort of tripe

    Cross handed All Time Test XI

    Good team, I think I might have Jack Gregory at 8 and put Anderson out!:ph34r:

    Funnily I was just reviewing Beyond a Boundary for CW. First thing is CLR seems only to have picked the innings in which Bradman failed. Where was his great effort on a wet wicket during the 1938 Test series? Also sticky wickets in Australia were much worse as a rule than those faced in...

    Yes, the fear factor especially if he faced BL would have been a new thing. Bit of a myth tbh. His average on four tours of England would suggest no real concerns surely?

    Jack Gregory is certainly one who would make the Australian team. Still has the fastest 100, was a fine fast bowler and one of the best ever slippers.

    Interesting, he may struggle for quite a period. Mi****s now often go for six in Bradman's day they almost never did. Sticky wickets would have caused him trouble as well.

    Tough one, not sure I agree SRT is the 2nd best tbh but certainly right up there in the top contenders. The main pros and cons imo below Pros Uncovered pitches poorer bats protective gear longer boundaries Cons better fast bowlers more varied pitches better fieldsman more video footage for...
