    The Lost New Zealand team under Stephen Fleming

    Lets say NZ win one of these upcoming series vs AUS & draw the other, while SA win India India - that NZ vs SA serious could be a battle for # 1 test team clash & that surely would deserve more than 2 tests.

    The Lost New Zealand team under Stephen Fleming

    Yes they will in 2017, but remember the argument against NZ is they are not commercial viable to hosts for the big 3 nations plus SA & those 5 ODI's vs AUS was not in the original 2014-2019 FTP - http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/DOWNLOAD/0000/0045/ftp_2015_2019.pdf it had to have been recently...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    No, i said Lee although he had his well known bad spells in Ashes 05 - didn't bowl as badly to average 40 - 35 IMO might have been a better reflection of how he bowled. Also no way was he comparable to how poorly Dizzy bowled in that series who had a sad spectacular fall from grace.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    I'm pretty sure I said to you I will check it up when I have the time & never really doubted it, did you miss that post too? Plus I'm quite sure poster Dan suggested you re-check some aspect of what you did also. Overall I was highlight bias towards poster ***** because obviously didn't do any...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Yes that's totally correct via Gambhir - my intention wasn't to suggest the around the tactic was the sole way bowlers suddenly attempted to get him out, so as to clarify again - Morkel simply exposed a way in 2010 series to get him, other bowers tried it and later the good fast bowlers he faced...

    Hmm interesting assessment on Schultz, admittedly my on clear memory of him was vs AUS in 97/98 - in which he always impressed me. Personally I was always a bit surprised Hayward didn't make it at the highest level, when he first emerged in ENG 99/00, he had all the tools IMO - not much...

    The Lost New Zealand team under Stephen Fleming

    South Africa to tour Australia, New Zealand next season | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo Sort of what I was talking about before, SA only scheduling two tests vs NZ next year.

    The Lost New Zealand team under Stephen Fleming

    A touch of Baz | The Cricket Monthly | ESPN Cricinfo Timely article, with some context to this thread.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Wording a bit off, however general point is just to clarify was Morkel found the chink in his armor in 2010 - that other bowlers later more clinically exposed.

    You see I say "bang-it-in bowling" anywhere in that post? haha. I swear you see what you want when I post.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Good job wasting a thought as usual & characterizing how what my posting aim's has been in this thread. The only person who actually used stats to back up anything they wish to challenge anything I said was Victor Ian & as I said before for now unless some body checks it themselves - I can't say...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Clearly you misinterpreted my point a little. Did I ever say Morkel exposed his flaw?. I said Morkel found it out in that 2010 series, I never said Gambhir failed in SA 2010. During his excellent 2008-2010 period that you correctly mention, he scored a lot of runs on roads & he developed a...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    This is one of the great misconceptions of junior's career IMO. You might also want to consider that M Waugh unlike many of the FTB of the 2000s played in an era with so much good bowling, he had limited opportunity for easy runs. Averaging 50 was unique then & his 41 in the 1990s just shows...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    That was his only decent series after 2010, so what are you t saying that one good series over-rides his other struggles and failures during that post SA 2010 period which eventually led to him being dropped?

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Right since you believe every stat is a accurate reflection of everything. Let me throw some at you: - Mark Waugh averaged 41, was that a accurate reflection of how good a player he was? - Lance Klusener averaged 37 with the ball in tests, that an accurate reflection of how good a bowler he...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Its incomparable with Dravid. There was no talk in March 2005 about Gilchrist ageing, in fact people hardly noticed he was 34 then. As i mentioned before that was the point in his career when his average was at 55 & people were praising him to the god's of being a truly next level keeper in...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Possibly in back to back series vs AUS & PAK circa 2003/04 - given the context that draw in AUS & win in PAK meant for IND cricket at the time. Then earlier in his career he had very impressive away tours to WI & SA 96/97 vs Donald/Pollock, Ambi/Walsh.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Yes slight mistake there, not sure why I mentioned his name. Gambhir was more a FTB in the 2007-2010 period when he was recalled and used to be charging fast bowlers and stuff. Then as soon as ran into first good pace attack in S Africa 2010, when Morkel found his weakness to his around the...
