    The Great Set Ups by Bowlers

    There was an ODI in Sharjah, Murali bowled Craig McMillan through the gate with a booming off break. Then came in a bowling AR whose name escapes my memory. Murali gave him a off break that spun half of what it was earlier. The batter gave the smirk after defending it. Then next one spun miles...

    Top 5 test cricketers since 1970

    Neither the 2 most impact players either. They were McGrath and Gilchrist

    Top 5 test cricketers since 1970

    That works only against weak players. If some one has no aura and still gets same results, he must be better against better players.

    The Great Set Ups by Bowlers

    Waqar Younis to Lara was a classic. Three inswingers, that ends up about a foot outside off, and Lara crashes all of them to the boundary. It ia followed up with a ball couple of yards quicker, same release, same length, snakes in to Lara and flattens the legstump

    Bradman vs Hypothetical Batsman

    That is what I understood from the question. Gone through all that tests and average 75.

    Bradman vs Hypothetical Batsman

    He would have to face them in Sri Lanka too. That is tge whole point here.

    2nd best test opener in Lanka's all time xi?

    The best all conditions opener probably was Dilshan. He had a short career in opening. Sidat Wettamuni and Marvan Atapattu are quality. I would still use Jayasuriya and Dilshan. That would be a fearsome combination. Jayasuriya good in cutting, flicking and muscling it, while Dilshan is very good...

    Bradman vs Hypothetical Player

    Statistically when the number of players increase, smaller gaps become more significant. The averages are in a exponential / Poisson distribution. When n (number of players increase) the gap that needs to be significant shrinks by 1/ sqrt(n).

    Bradman vs Hypothetical Batsman

    Hypothetical batsman. There is at least one or two places where Bradman's average will take a hit. That is what happens with varying conditions. And one or two bowlers will find a method to nail him early. That also will become more of a possibility with expanding player base. We don't have any...

    Mohd azharuddian vs salim malik

    Malik was one of the best against 80s WI pacers. His 70s 80s came in extremely low scoring matches (both sides) are almost like daddy hundreds with impact. Azhar is an ATG against spin, and against any type of bowling when he is angry. Angry Azhar is the best batsman I have ever seen...

    Better all rounder in ODIs?

    Three way battle between Pollock, Kapil and Jayasuriya. Klusener and Flintoff are good, but they lasted only few years. Pollock did one of his disciplines in a legend level. Kapil and Jayasuriya were fine ODI cricketers, but they lacked that single expert discipline that Pollock had. In addition...

    Chose one player : Lara or Kallis

    When ever that wk bat average of 40 is brought in, this has to be brought in for context. Sorry, but that is what it is. When Scrodinger's logic is used such details has to be repeated.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    With the seam attack Australia is fielding, we may have better chance with a track with little bit of grass, not much, just a bit, but doesn't bounce much. Perfect for SL seamers who like to hit the pads.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    I don't think it is selector's fault. These players have influence over selectors too. It's their selfishness and poor work ethic. Kusal Mendis should not be any where in the team. **** keeper, **** batsman in test areana. Instead he gets Chandimal moved to 3 (who was averaging 50 at #5)...

    Chose one player : Lara or Kallis

    On the lip side of the argument as a pure batsman Sanga averages 67. That is better than everyone by far other than for Bradman. I won't pick Kallis over Hadlee. What I am saying is they are in same class. Gilly provides you an almost ATG (ATG against pace) batsman and almost ATG keeper...

    Better captain in test cricket?

    Imran easily. First for unifying that Pakistani egos Secondly his absolute genialness of using part timers to bring down West Indies of 80s almost to a series defeat, avoided by cheating from umpires. Thirdly, the way he responded when cornered in 1992 WC. No other captain has sone so much...

    Chose one player : Lara or Kallis

    I would add Gilchrist and Sangakkara too.

    **Official** Australia in Sri Lanka Jan - Feb 2025

    At least your young guns are performing. Our ones are trying to match seniors. And in the mean time Chandimal, Prabath Jayasuriya and Fernando try to win the match.

    Does this hypothetical Test allrounder exist?

    Chaminda Vaas says hi. 355 wickets at 29.6 with ball, 3089 runs at 24.32, and 6000+ FC runs. There was a time he was averaging 35+ with bat in latter stages of his career.

    Does this hypothetical Test allrounder exist?

    Kumar Dharmasena was very close Bat 36.3, Bowl 20.8, WPM 3.2
