    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Adding Shaun Pollock, Faulkner, Bruce Mitchell, Amla and Rabada gives you an excellent touring party. DeVillers back up keeper, extra spinner who can bat top 6, extra opening and middle bats, and 5 elite quicks plus Kallis. Would cover any contingency.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Richards Smith Kallis Pollock Nourse DeVilliers DeKock Procter Tayfield Steyn Donald Wondering if Faulkner makes my SA XI. I’m favouring selecting a proper keeper rather than AB and think DeKock’s batting gives him an edge (although Lindsay and Waite were fine batsmen also). I actually don’t...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    I find it hard to define. I’ve seen the entire career of both Ponting and Waugh, and a fair % of Border’s. There might be a bit of nostalgia going on but I’d just bank on Waugh or Border to fight harder in a real scrap. And Ponting was the best counter puncher we’ve had. He’d be in the team if...

    Would be, which is why I said “possibly”. It’s not a big thing, he’s definitely in the debate for the best Aust middle order bats ever in my opinion. I just don’t rate him quite as highly as others.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    On Smith, I’m sure I’ll get **** for this, but I just don’t rate him as highly as others. I rank him lower than Chappell, Border, Harvey and Ponting and possibly below SWaugh and McCabe. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’s great, but I just don’t view him as highly as others seem to. Definitely...

    Nah. He’s so good. Was as good as anyone against the WIs in their pomp and he played Warne as well as anyone too. He’s a deliberate choice.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Yeh, it’s a hard one. He’s probably my favourite Australian cricketer of all time but he’s hard to fit in there. If I included OReilly with Warne I’d definitely have Miller.

    I’m aware it’s probably wrong but I didn’t look further than where it’s actually listed, hence not including him https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/trophy/keeping-most-dismissals-career/sheffield-shield-114

    The Thommo method of Bowling

    Similar to Tait who could generate massive pace looking pretty laconic. All came out of the shoulder.

    Cricket stuff that doesn't deserve its own thread

    So that run out in the T20 last night. Aus were entitled to appeal at any point before the bowler commences his run up, I believe. I’m assuming the bowler hadn’t commenced his run up when the vision showed on the big screens and Aus realised the batsman was out. So, once Aus began discussing...
