    Would like to know this too, I'm using cricinfo which means checking every player's profile individually.

    Losers Draft

    After having an initial look, very few if any ATGs have a negative (wins - losses) value, so it would be pretty interesting to see who gets picked.

    Not disagreeing it was a great spectacle, mate. I do believe Australia could have definitely done better at times, without taking anything away from our players. Specially with the bat.

    Name an overrated and an underrated cricketer

    When comparing Virat and Sachin, it is important to also note the quality of bowlers they faced.

    Of course, no question. Laxman's innings is rated as one of the best of all time and rightly so, and Rahul was a class act as always. Anyway, if you read above you'd see I've already called it an amazing test match, one I've watched live and then on replays plenty of times, but this discussion...

    Sorry, but there's no excuse for not taking a single wicket for 90 overs. How many times has that even happened? I'm an Indian and that is the single greatest moment in the history of cricket for our nation, I watched every single minute of it and I was as baffled as anyone else to see...

    They couldn't take a single wicket for an entire day. Tue, 13 Mar - day 3 - India 2nd innings 254/4 (VVS Laxman 109*, R Dravid 7*, 75 ov) Wed, 14 Mar - day 4 - India 2nd innings 589/4 (VVS Laxman 275*, R Dravid 155*, 165 ov) That's awful, both for the captain and the bowlers. They have...

    It's an amazing test, without doubt with some of the greatest performances you'd see. But ideally for a match to be considered among the greatest ever it has to have great cricketing quality from both teams. For me at least.

    Best Test

    Kolkata test was great for Indian fans and it can be counted in one of the greatest comebacks ever but overall, it wasn't a 'great' test. It only had great performances from one team.

    Haha, didn't notice.

    Team full of batsmen or team full of bowlers? Which is stronger on paper?

    I'll go with Gavaskar and Sutcliffe as the opening pair in the defensive XI. Better batsmen than the likes of Boycott while having similar or perhaps better defensive technique.

    Howzat > Schearzie > honestbharani to finish this round. Can we have the last round order?
