    Who is really to blame for Australia's batting collapses post 2007 in Ashes series?

    Watson is in good form. He was in bad form when he toured India in 2008. He is going to hit those kind of slumps again in the future, happens to every batsman. Problem is the openers are not sufficiently covering up for the out of form players by scoring the big runs, something like Hussey did...

    Who is really to blame for Australia's batting collapses post 2007 in Ashes series?

    When I was giving the 65/50 example numbers, I had more in mind the longer periods of form which are usually discussed for batsmen like a run of at least 2-3 years or 25-30 tests. But your numbers illustrate my point further. A top class batsman in top form over 1 year with 7-8 tests would...

Yes, they have been utterly outplayed over the Adelaide test and the last couple of days at Brisbane, but this is a 5 test match series. All it could boil down is one inspired innings or bowling...

    Kallis Vs Sobers

    Thanks for the welcome, guys! Disagreements are fine. I just thought to bring forth the flaw in your methodology to determine greatness. Surely, a method applying which Tendulkar was not a great for the best 14 years of his career, Hobbs does not qualify as a great, and S Waugh does by 1 run...

    Kallis Vs Sobers

    Tendulkar did not have a double hundred throughout the 90s and there was never a shadow of doubt about his greatness, even all time greatness, throughout the 90s. By the time he scored his first double hundred against a 'tough' opponent in 2004, his greatness and legendary status had already...
