    Dean Jones or David Boon in tests? Who was better?

    Boon for a) he batted at a more difficult position, and for b) that he sustained for double the numbers of Jones, he had this formidable opening partnership with Marsh I think and was more value to that Aussie side than Deano.

    Is Moeen Ali the best ever test no-rounder?

    Speaking of football, our master race are very well perched at rank 121 in world ; apparently the supreme athletic genes either don't work in the most popular game or get switched off on a football field.

    Is Moeen Ali the best ever test no-rounder?

    Tbf Flem - and it's not to stretch, you did say just because three countries have a very good pool of rugby ( and you believe) if all those players divert their mind to give sole attention to playing cricket like some country ( I have no doubt you meant subcontinents-) it's going to be so long...

    Is Moeen Ali the best ever test no-rounder?

    At one time a guy brainwashed a whole country calling them a superior race, now what is a superior race, the whole idea is a farce , you need to be educated enough and do some research before doling out tawdry thoughtless statements like this hahahaha "superior genetics of kiwis " It's still...

    Yes I am being argumentative while you are citing twisted facts for fun jokingly.

    Is Moeen Ali the best ever test no-rounder?

    You are making huge claims yourself which will be too argumentative for nothing. Now you have stretched the number of countries to 5 from three - off course you are joking - next thing you would say all the countries of the world will dominate cricket except the subcontinents.

    No but he did say these three would be top three nations in cricket-- you are right he must be joking

    Is Moeen Ali the best ever test no-rounder?

    Very WRONG - he is alluding to base the dominance on cricket field purely on height and athleticism and then somehow leaves the 'WINDIES' (who are arguably much more faster cohort than any other on planet) out of the equation which would be a crime by his own set up standards,so the post was...

    Is Moeen Ali the best ever test no-rounder?

    You are reaching too far out based on surmise and presumptions --- what is to say given the supreme athletic past Windies would not topple the rankings and much more than what you would like to believe? In the same breath one would start to argue about Germany,US Or even China being the top...

    Worst Umpiring decision

    Does anything come to mind which was worse than Steve Bucknor giving Sachin out LBW even when the ball hit him on his hand and was clearly going over the top of stumps?

    How Many of Inzamam-ul-Haq's Runs in International Cricket Were Scored By Runners?

    Another one was when - he was outside of crease after playing a defensive push to the bowler, as the bowler picked the ball and decided to throw at the batsmans end seeing the famous Injamam being outside of crease also lazily, poor Injamam knew no better but rather then trying to ground his bat...

    Dhoni v Gilchrist

    Remember while adjusting that Gilly never had to face Mcgrath and co. when facing comparatively lesser attacks, now, one should give extra leverage to other openers of that era whilst comparing them with him,he also had a huge support of great batting line-up which comparatively made life...

    Dhoni v Gilchrist

    By the same logic what would be the stats of Marcus Trescothick, Nick Knight, Graeme Smith( only to name a few) or a solid opener from 80's someone like Desmond Haynes anybody? How many centuries would Desmond have to his name taking his contemporary record to the present and escalate them...

    daryll cullinan vs boeta dippenaar

    Remember how Cullinan used to be billed as the most gifted/natural batsman in the South African line up.

    Dhoni v Gilchrist

    Yes ; Check - Trescothick , Nick Knight, Greame Smith, Gibbs, Chris Gayle, Sanath, Sehwag, Anwar, Gary Kirsten ---- in past there have been many very good openers( I am just recalling from the top of hat) - that was before Gilchrist -- like Desmond Haynes, Now you might be swayed a lot by the...

    Dhoni v Gilchrist

    Sacin, ABdV, Viv, Virat, Bevan, MSD, Kapil, Shaun pollock, Wasim, Warne, Ambrose/Mcgrath/Garner. Here I packed it for you by hacking an opener slot lol.

    Dhoni v Gilchrist

    There were many openers in Gilly's time who were batter or equally good, it has been discussed how opening has procured leverage even to an ordinary career in ODI's,its arguably a comparatively easy spot for the cherry pickings with fielding restrictions,add that with a solid middle order in a...

    Dhoni v Gilchrist

    Gilly should be no competition for Dhoni in Odi's where Dhoni had been a specialist in the league of giants like Bevan ( there are a lot of players like Gilchrist who could open with a bang) but very few like Bevan or Dhoni who are typically ODI specialist. Along the same lines Dhoni seems to...

    Is Moeen Ali the best ever test no-rounder?

    Chris Lewis and other bits, other allrounders that kept English hopes high in their quest of finding another Botham throughout the nineties, before finally proving disappointments.
