    Zimbabwean Cricket: Time for The End

    Well this is a highly emotional issue with more political ingredients then cricket, but as someone said that in this situation the two are destined to mix. I hold a little different view on the situation and have always disagreed to this clamour for banning Zimbabwe from playing cricket by...

    Best Test Team Ever?

    From what I saw of Peter Kirsten in the 90s, he was an excellent batsman and probably would have been one of the top 5 batsman of the late 70s and 80s if he had played test cricket at his prime.

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    Yes, but you have to realise that the number of matches that produce a result these days have increased dramatically over what it used to be in the 80s.

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    Well... you are mixing up too many things together to make your point. Hayden has never played Wasim in a test match.Wasim did not play in that Colombo/Sharjah series against Aus in 2002.Waqar and Shoaib played but everybody knows what Waqar was like in 2002. Even Inzamman did not play that...

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    Since when are we comparing the teams based on games played against England. And what stats ? Are you looking at one particular year or the whole decade 80s for the Windies and 90s for Aus or something else ? If you compare the whole of the 90s results for Aus versus the results of WI in 80s...

    Warne beats Holding hands down any day.....eh? anyone who has seen Holding bowl won't be able to decide that confidently... it can be close and the comparison is a little difficult given that one is a leggie and the other one is a fast bowler, and in my opinion it tilts towards Holding. Warne...

    BEst fast Bowler of 90's?

    Curtly Ambrose for me, followed by Wasim Akram. Ambrose was just too devastating.... and Akram somehow knew to get the ball do whatever he wanted it to.

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    Are you serious ? England were the team that suffered the worst at the hands of the Windies in the 80s... 5-0 whitewashes were reserved only for them.... no other team suffered so badly at the hands of the Windies. As I said earlier, the quality of opposition in my opinion was much better in the...

    Absolutely agree to that

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    I am not comparing the current Indian team(read Ganguly's team) to the team of the 80s... I am comparing the team that Azhar had for most of the 90s. That was a team, as far as test matches are concerned, which doesn't compare at all with the team of the 80s. Come on... tell me what that team of...

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    Richardson came in around the same time as Logie... he started off on that India tour of 1983. He and Logie swapped places in the team(not in the batting order..Richardson came in at three and Logie would be the number six), and later on when Lloyd retired, he and Logie both became part of the...

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    India in the 80s were way better and a more gritty team then the lot that we saw in the nineties. They could come out of a 5 test series in West Indies in 1983 by losing only 2 tests. That would have been impossible for the team of the nineties to pull off. They had a very gritty batting lineup...

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    Yes that bowling lineup is awesome, but that batting isn't as good as - CG Greenidge DL Haynes IVA Richards HA Gomes CH Lloyd AL Logie/Bacchus PJL Dujon Richards isn't there.... its like drawing up...

    Inzimam-amongst The Current Batsmen

    I rate Inzamman very highly although he did not actually do full justice to the talent that he has. He could have been amongst the top three batsman of the nineties but somehow never reached his potential.

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    One thing to be noted for the eighties is that the cricket world wasn't as lopsided as now. The England team going around then was quite strong, and the Aussies were bad for a period of 3 years between 1983-1986 maybe but were a significant force for the rest of the decade.Also Pakistan and...

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    Well West Indies played in NZ only those two times in all of seventies and eighties. One was at the beginning of the eighties(1980 I think) and another one towards the end(1987) when their decline had already started. The first series was without Marshall and Viv Richards, so I wouldn't call...

    Which team was better? Windies of Early 80s or the current Aussie Team?

    I have seen the Windies team of the 80s.... No question that the Windies of the eighties were superior to the current Aussies .The one prime reason for that is that the Windies of the 80s beat everybody everywhere. There were no sub-continent debacles or anything of the sort.They thrashed...

    Yeah you are right, I just about had it with this dimwit.... I am not gonna waste my energy anymore.

    Is Tendulkar a choker

    And you don't take into consideration the quality of Indian pacers over the last 10 years when you say that opposition batsman scored centuries in matches where Sachin was the only Indian centurion ??? In surfaces away from home, the opposition batsman had to face a lot of "greats" like...
