    Test batsmen and bowlers peaks. Criteria: At least 5 years and at least 40 innings

    I think once Gambhir and Dhoni came in and India became more assured of their batting depth it became a team strategy to give Sehwag the free role to be a new ball bully.

    Group B - England, Iran, USA, Wales

    Dont want to jinx but this English side looks genuine title threat. The so called golden generation maybe be better man to man but this side has more quality on the bench to keep higher standards as the game goes deep.

    Cricket players as tennis players

    Modern loi hacks like Roy etc similar to 90's Wimbledon bullies who would get a decent tournament run due to their huge first serve but had little else to their game to do well all year around.

    India has mental hold over Australia. Its not South Africa and ICC tournamnent level bad but its not far off

    Group A - Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands

    The england match went almost 30 minutes above normal time. Madness.

    Group B - England, Iran, USA, Wales

    The new million minutes injury time calculation will ensure a high goal average for this World cup.

    Test batsmen and bowlers peaks. Criteria: At least 5 years and at least 40 innings

    Anderson hitting bowling peak from 34-39 is also mind boggling

    Test batsmen and bowlers peaks. Criteria: At least 5 years and at least 40 innings

    Imran was a cheat code in the 80's this also includes a 2 year gap where he did not bowl. Looks like Injury had nil effect on his effectiveness.

    Group B - England, Iran, USA, Wales

    Small sample but Asian teams look way off the pace for an asian world cup.

    What are the odds that Babar, Shaheen and Rizwan enter the Pakistan ATG Test XI by the end of their careers?

    Yes Shaheen to his credit has a decent learning curve. When he started apart from his physical attributes nothing really stood out unlike Amir 1.0 who screamed once in a generation prospect. Shaheen has gradually got better and better as he played, i hope he returns well from this injury.

    What are the odds that Babar, Shaheen and Rizwan enter the Pakistan ATG Test XI by the end of their careers?

    Yes Babar looks good to watch but he needs to rack in some huge numbers to displace Inzi. MoYo with simlar numbers to G. Chappell but with a less balanced home and away record is unable to so Bobby needs similar numbers to Mo Yo but with more balanced home and away.

    Lol Smith is ridiculous.

    What are the odds that Babar, Shaheen and Rizwan enter the Pakistan ATG Test XI by the end of their careers?

    Regarding Babar i struggle to see how he gets in over Inzi, Miandad, YK unless you pick him as a 6th batsman. He would most likely end up playing 80-90 tests at the maximum and needs a final career record in G. Chappell range to make a case to be in 3-4-5 slots.

    What are the odds that Babar, Shaheen and Rizwan enter the Pakistan ATG Test XI by the end of their careers?

    Yeah Waqar is quite easily among top 12-15 off all time for me Ofcourse these lists are subjective but i would back majority to have him in their top 20 if not 15.

    What are the odds that Babar, Shaheen and Rizwan enter the Pakistan ATG Test XI by the end of their careers?

    He will not unless he improves dramatically. He does not do enough with the old ball at the moment to be a great sub cont conditions pacer.

    What are the odds that Babar, Shaheen and Rizwan enter the Pakistan ATG Test XI by the end of their careers?

    Shaheen is not good enough to crack the big 3 (Imran, Wasim, Waqar). Only Shoaib, Asif and Preban Amir were talented enough to challenge but all three made awful life choices and got just deserts.

    Has or will Jadeja overtake Kapil?

    Kapil is under rated here. I still have him as 2nd greatest indian cricketer off all time after Sachin. A better both format cricketer then Sunny, Dravid, Ashwin and Jadeja and a world cup winning captain @24 defeating two time defending champion in the final

    Group A - Qatar, Ecuador, Senegal, Netherlands

    I know AFC is not the highest standard of football but they did win the Asian Championship quite comprehensively. I think nerves have had the better of this side.

    *Official* New Zealand v India T20s & ODIs

    It may not be the worst but i can list atleast a dozen rule changes that needed tweaking before this.
