    Team of all rounders v specialists

    The biggest differences between when I played & today are the fielding, fitness and the professionalism (e.g. everyone can hold a bat now) Throw in another 100 years and it’s a different game

    You also have Gilchrist as a wk He was a very good keeper and the difference between him and a specialist is massive because of his batting

    Kallis averaged more with the bat than Tendy who also averaged “only” 46 in SA Both great players but Kallis every time The difference is Bradman and not Sachin v Kallis

    Bradman is the one great outlier in sports For Lara, I give you Sobers + bowling and fielding etc etc

    Kallis is ridiculously underrated by some Like having Tendulkar + nearly 300 test wickets + great catching

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    I assume that is very difficult Buggered my back and taught myself how to bowl left handed to the point where I could bowl a few overs of filth at a reasonable level but couldn’t throw more than 10 yards or so Anyway, Courtney Walsh bowled it in for much of his career but his bowling was good...

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    Nothing to back this up but does anyone else get the feeling that the selectors have very little faith in Renshaw, Bancroft and Harris? They’ll obviously have to pick someone but I get the feeling that it won’t be done with any great confidence

    2024–25 Australian Domestic Season

    The problem is keeping them fit Richardson, Johnson, Morris, Bartlett and Green are all potential test options but are made of tissue paper They obviously don’t really want to pick Neser and Boland is 35

    Mentioned before that a mate coached Bartlett and he tells me that they’re really worried about fast bowling stocks so expect more surprises

    I was never Pollock’s biggest fan but he does have a stellar record while Ashwin (and Jadeja btw) is arguably the greatest ever bowler in India People have barely mentioned Kapil Dev who took 400 poles as a quick for India - that’s ridiculous

    All rounders such as peak Imran, Hadlee etc were as good as any bowlers to play the game so there’s no difference in top end quality imo

    Peak Botham was not only an incredible cricketer but also had a golden arm and would probably get Bradman to slap a long hop to cover just when a wicket was needed

    Team of all rounders v specialists

    The biggest advantage for a team of specialists will obviously be in the top 3 as very few all rounders batted that high due to bowling workloads However, you can also make the case that 7-11 of an all rounders team would be significantly better than the specialists as they would likely have a...

    Imagine a World XI where numbers 10 & 11 have 8 test centuries between them and Sobers & Kallis are not needed to bowl 😂
