    Total Wastes

    Watson won't amount to anything substantial. Middle of the road batsman/poor bowler imo. Might hit a purple patch somewhere and be ok, but i can't see sustained success. Murali Kartik has alot of talent, still has a bit of time though hope is slpping away. The most wasted SO FAR: Shahid...

    wasim akram vs glenn mcgrath

    I have to disagree, throughout the 90's they were all mentioned together. They were always 1,2,3 in the world in different orders, and for alot of that time Waugh was 1. Tendulkar's plight is another. Suddenly his career means alot less than what it did 2 years ago. I've never rated him overly...

    wasim akram vs glenn mcgrath

    I think it's more that you tend to remember what happened last. Wasim's memories aren't as fresh in your mind as mcgraths. Happens all the time. Already people have stopped thinking about Steve Waugh, but whilst he was playing he was consistently thought of in the top 5 in the world. He...

    wasim akram vs glenn mcgrath

    If out of these two, someone had to bowl ONE delivery, and take a wicket, i would pick Wasim. IMO he is capable of more 'spectacular' deliveries, and can get the batsman out. Mcgrath relies more heavily on the batsman getting himself out. He does get them out but more often than not, he...

    Winning the toss: How much does it affect the result?

    I was wondering if anyone knew where i could find such a statistic, which showed the winning % of the teams when they won the toss I want to see wether it indeed is a significant advantage

    All Time Sub Cont XI

    lol, read the first sentence properly "but as YOU said.... batting doesn't matter" I didnt say it, although reading that aain, it makes it seem like i'm agreeing with that statement. I think the batting is seen as a 'bonus'. In that if i have two bowlers, bowler A and bowler B, who i think...

    Why McGrath is the best

    wtf is a premature answer?

    Why McGrath is the best

    What does it matter if he has an awesome bouncer/inswinger or whatever. He can't consistently perform at the top level, and never has done. Be it because of injury or other reasons, he has never sustained top form. Thus he shouldn't be world classs. He is a bit like a fast bowler version of...

    All Time Sub Cont XI

    Shoaib can be brilliant at times, but at other times he can be SO sporadic. His attitude also stinks (not just the injuries), and seems to hvae alot of troubles with his team mates/cricket board etc. Either way, he is not in the same class as Waqar, Wasim and IMran at their peak, so he...

    All Time Sub Cont XI

    It doesn't matter if he's the Indian's best bowler (or second best). I have no Indian bowlers in my team except for a spinner, in Bishin Bedi. Kumble might be stiff to miss out, and in some conditions, Kumble would be the better option. But imo Waqar, Wasim, Imran > Kapil Dev as a bowler. I'm...

    All Time Sub Cont XI

    I don't think Kapil Dev would be in the team. He is brilliant, but bowling is his strong suite. If we have the two W's, and Imran Khan, that's 3 world class quick bowlers. So there's no point adding another imo, and you're better of going the extra batsman or the extra spinner. That is why i...

    India's Quicks - what do you think?

    I think Sreesanth has the mental make up, determination and professionalism to make it. He doesn't seem like the type that will let the fame and power to get to his head.

    India's Quicks - what do you think?

    I. Pathan - Really lost it lately. Has become a minnow basher. Take away his wickets/stats against the minnows and he has really dropped of. Hanging on due to his batting prowess. S. Sreesanth - Simply brilliant. Has dismissed key batsman regularly and at good times. Struggled a bit here and...
