    Kagiso Rabada

    ^^ Bit Harsh to put Schultz in that group, since potentially only injuries prevented him from being a top-class. Always considered him the most talented left-arm quick outside of Wasim in the last 25 years - until Johnson finally became very good. Hayward would be a better inclusion in that group.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    So I'm ask you too - when Dravid scored 3 hundreds in ENG 2011, was that Dravid in his best days or Dravid producing a aberration one final great series during the declining phase of his career? Also whether you fully or partly accept he had a flaw or not - can you point out in your opinion or...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    TLDR? Your comprehension and interpretation skills are plummeting in every post - where did i ever say the bold. And say Gilchrist had a "natural decline" over and over doesn't make it true. He got exposed technically during his peak & this was why his run scoring in tests declined. In fact...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Quite clearly that's not what I'm saying there at all. If that's what you interpreted by that statement I can't help you any further.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    It was one of his best series of his career against a high quality pace attack, considering the conditions and fact that he did it as a opener past his overall career peak. But it wasn't his peak career performance.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Of course you would say that you didn't do the stats breakdown, so if Victor Ian does it - its obvious you would jump and take it as potential gospel because you are inclined due to bias to accept what he says. Not all cricket stats for players or whatever other scenario in cricket reflect...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Of course it wouldn't be taken away, you judge everyone's career in context & when you are considering them for a ATXI - its from their performances at their peak whether in Tendulkar's case you want him at his youthful gold 19902-2002 peak or old gold 2007-2011 peak. His tennis elbow 2002-2007...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Ok its interesting that the stats show this, based on what you found. No doubting you, will eventually check it out for myself. I would want to call it a odd statistical anomaly because of my head i can remember worse second tier bowlers from the 2000-2005 period such of Ed Giddins, V Raju...

    ***Official*** South Africa in India 2015

    Well i guess how fit or not Rabada may or may not be for a test will depend on physio's - because I don't see Philander being nothing more than a stock bowler in IND conditions to dry up runs. SA already have a problem with their spinners, Harmer will paul harris/claude henderson/clive...

    Best Bowling All Rounder

    Hmm I'm not sure how correct is that. Hadlee was a young tear-away who wasn't that impressive for the first part of his career 73-78. He announced himself a great bowler when he took that 10-for vs ENG in 78 & he was a ATG from then until retirement. His first test hundred was coincidentally...

    Best Bowling All Rounder

    A random guess thinking back to specific periods at the start of his career when Donald/Pollock were at their best he fluctuated between being a 4th or 5th bowler, because McMillan & Klusener bowled more than him then. Plus other random times when De Villiers, another seamer or a spinner...

    Best Bowling All Rounder

    He can't be TBF, his bowling was nothing more than a 5th bowler at best even if you had seaming/spinning conditions in a tests where his medium pace or off-spin would be useful and would get you wickets.

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    I never said pitches got better, we still have many similar roads in many places worldwide since 2005. Its just more better bowlers/bowling groups such a Steyn, Ntini, Morkel, Anderson, Broad, Johnson, Harris, Starc, Boult, Southee, Zaheer, Philander, Asif, Wahad, Aamir, Roach, Taylor etc...

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Always felt Lara could have had a similar impact in ODIs to Tendy as if he had opened batting long term as he did circa 1991-1995 with great success. But of course Windies team weakness would not allow that.

    **Official** Pakistan and England in the UAE 2015/16

    Well yes, Wood for sure would have played - I guess they may have considered readjusting the batting a bit to accommodate Patel. For example if Ansari was fit, there was option of letting him open & dropping Moeen down the order. Certainly Wood getting injured made it easier for them to play...

    Best Bowling All Rounder

    What is an all-rounder? This a discussion I have with people all the time with how such players are described & for example I see a regular mistake IMO that Miller and Botham being considered bowling all-rounders like this voting list noted. Of course you had strange point in other thread with...

    Greatest keeper batsman - Gilchrist or Sangakkara?

    Are you trying to serious say based on your understanding of cricket during that 2000-2010 period when batting averages increased, that the entire 10 years was filled poor pace attacks?
