    Holding. Garner. Donald.

    There are exceptions like for example I give credit to Kallis for performing in difficult conditions at home

    Team Switches

    Do teams make the following trades? 70s/80s WI exchange Holding for Kallis? 2010s SA exchange ABD for Chandra? 40s Invincibles exchange Miller for Shaun Pollock? 90s/2000s SA exchange Kirsten for Hayden? 2000s India exchange Sehwag for Chris Cairns?

    Another Round of Team Trades

    Pollock over Murali in SL makes no sense.

    Another Round of Team Trades

    ...conditions and SL could use a captain like him. Hard to match the volume of Murali though. Hard to turn down the best bowler in the world for Kallis but it's close. Think Invincibles had enough batting and needed Millers bowling more. As for Jadeja vs Kapil, realistically they aren't...

    Who was the best player of 90s Era?

    Right I tend to form my own opinions regardless of who they agree with rather than base it off others.

    Who was the best player of 90s Era?

    I don't see how Ambrose did better than Tendulkar in the 90s. By 95 he was past his best.

    Viv/Marshall vs Kallis/Pollock

    Which combo offers more value to an average side?

    Brian lara vs steve smith

    1. I want him to accelerate as a matter of course. Not when he is in the mood like Kallis. 2. You yourself admitted your shining for England cricketers in these close cases.

    Brian lara vs steve smith

    ...leading to mistakes, etc. So I am concerned with how he normally plays, not whether he had the ability to accelerate in certain circumstances. Even Kallis could accelerate but that wasn't how he generally played against teams by choice. Dominating should be a standard not an option.

    How much would a batsmen need to average to overtake Bradman?

    Smith is 2 to 3 years at best it seems. Retiring from ODIs is a sign.

    Prime Ponting Vs Prime Kallis

    Kallis would struggle to make the top 5 bats in the early mid 2000s. Ponting, Dravid, Lara and even Hayden would have been rated ahead of him at that point.

    70s Aus vs 2010s SA

    It's not about who is the better batting lineup as much as who is the better batting lineup against pace that matters in this scenario. SA with Tahir and Harris have cannon fodder. Folks also forget, Philander is somewhat neutralised in Aus unless it's a greentop. Steyn will take wickets but...

    70s Aus vs 2010s SA

    I give the edge to Aus based on superior bowling for the conditions and Ian Chappells more aggressive captaincy.

    70s Aus vs 2010s SA

    Who wins in a 5 match game in 90s Aus? Smith Peterson Amla Kallis Du Plessis ABD - Keeper Prince Philander Steyn Morkel Tahir/Harris McCorksker Redpath Yallop Greg Chappell Ian Chappell Walters Marsh Lillee Thommo Gilmore/Walker Mallett

    Kallis vs Murali

    Interesting. Goes to show there is more to team selection than just stat sheets.

    More and more trade offs

    Thank you someone has gotten into tradeoff. My answers: No. Viv suited that team vibe more. Yes because of Kallis bowling. Hmm no because Mac was a steady bat and there were better bowling options than Razzaq Easily for Flower I think it would be hard for WI to replace a leader of their...

    Kallis vs Murali

    To be fair Murali was an excellent fielder. Slips being tertiary that neutralises that advantage.

    Kallis vs Murali

    Kallis isn't a top tier bat for me, and I think you need to be at least that to beat a top tier bowler like Murali.
