    2nd semi-final: India vs England | Providence

    It's a chasing pitch/conditions. Oui?

    1st semi-final: South Africa vs Afghanistan | Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba

    Glad the Saffers won. Hopefully the boys get past India today to set up the final. If England don't make it, I will root for SA.

    Don Bradman vs Garry Sobers

    Sobers is 1st and it is not close.

    Gavaskar Vs Murali Vs Kapil Dev

    There is some case for Kallis as a batting AR (I don't pick him) but there is no valid case for Kapil.

    *Official* West Indies Tour of England, JULY 9th to 25th, 2024-- 3 TEST MATCHES

    Look forward to the test stuff.

    Sobers Vs McGrath

    Sobers is the greatest cricketer ever. By far.

    Gavaskar Vs Murali Vs Kapil Dev

    Kapil is not the equal of those 2 either as bat or bowler. T1 means he'd be a legitimate contender for an AT XI. He is not. Nor can you credibly claim so.

    2nd semi-final: India vs England | Providence

    I am quietly confident but respect the Indian team tremendously. Hope it's flat and this game is a simple hit-athon.

    Gavaskar Vs Murali Vs Kapil Dev

    The assumption in all these threads is that we are primarily talking test cricket. In that case, Murali is the best. Gavaskar 2nd and far far behind them is Kapil. He was not a T1 ATG, the other 2 are.

    Tendulkar Vs Murali Vs Imran

    I think Imran Khan is considerably greater than the other two. His allround contribution was insane. A truly ATG bowler (in the early 80s he may have been the finest ever seen), a really good MO bat, a brilliant captain and an erudite gent to boot. He was some cricketer.

    1st semi-final: South Africa vs Afghanistan | Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba

    Unless it's a slow turner, Saffers should win this. Is this their year?

    Match 52# Afghanistan vs Bangladesh: Do or die for the Afghans

    What a tourney! One has to favour the Saffers tomorrow though.

    Wasim A Vs Lara

    Overall Akram. But this is in the rarified strata.

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    That remains the greatest team ever. Or greatest group of players in 1 period.

    Your ATG team pace bowling trio

    I will offer you 2 - an XI from those I've seen and then an XI including those I haven't seen based on historical research/expert opinion. XI 1. (Seen IRT [meaningfully]) Gavaskar G. Smith Viv Lara Tendulkar Kallis (could well be Beefy, 2nd AR). Gilchrist + Khan * Marshall Akram Warne AT...

    India look extremely good atm.

    Your ATG team pace bowling trio

    On the issue, I would still pick Thommo in my AT Aus XI. You had to watch him to see it. It was like a blonde Akhtar 25 years before Akhtar was a thing. Menacing, mean, and put the fear of God into a line-up. Lillee Thommo McGrath Warne Miller Would comprise my AT Aussie bowling line up...

    Your ATG team pace bowling trio

    Stats are for prats. They tell only part of the story I would pick Lillee over any quick bar maybe Marshall and Akram in an XI. He was better than Akram but Wes gets in as the LH variation. Amongst RH quicks, he is #2 at worst.
