What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?
My All Time Test X1 which is capable of defeating any team 01. Sir Viv Richards (Perfectly capable of opening the innings, I needed someone better than Sehwag to do what he did, this is the Guy) 02. Sunny Gavaskar 03. Sir Donald Bradman (C) 04. Sachin Tendulkar 05. Brian Lara 06. Sir...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
To me he was a dull batsman compared to Lara, thats what I meant. Regarding Kallis he is so boring that I don't watch his batting at all so I am not bored of his batting cause I don't see any of it.- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
I too prefer to watch Lara more than Tendulkar. I would like to watch Lara's 277 in 370 balls kind of innings over Tendulkar's dull 241 in 450 odd balls both made on the same ground. Better Bat Sachin is for that reason but I felt Lara in a weak team with wickets falling around him never really...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
Warne's bowling avg outside Aus is 24.xy and strike rate is 54.7 or so .... Murali's bowling avg outside SL is 27.79 and Strike Rate is 61.8 ..... Now Warne's bowling avg in SL is 20.45 (Murali's home avg is 19.56) and strike rate is 39.6 (Murali's home strike rate is 50.8) ..... Warne suffered...- KINGOFKINGS

What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?
01> Footage of Bradman is available. 02> 99.94 is way too big an average while legends in his time like Hutton/Hammond/Headley all avged 55-60% of him. If someone says he would avg 50 today it would be as ridiculous as saying Hammond/Headley would average 30 today and if you say they both would...- KINGOFKINGS

What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?
Ha Ha .... Ok but seriously.... I am clueless on how to compare someone like Syd Barnes with someone like say McGrath. What should I take into consideration ? Maybe I should take a good look at his stats and figure out that he picked 6 out of his 7 10W hauls against minnows SA? But then...- KINGOFKINGS

What is your ALL TIME WORLD XI TEAM for tests?
I always find it funny when guys who were not even born during the times of legends like Trumper/Hobbs/Hammond/Hutton and most probably even haven't seen their footage pick them in their squad ahead of Sachin, Gavaskar, Lara, Richards whom at least we have seen live or have tons and tons of...- KINGOFKINGS

No fault of Murali in that. The guy is born with some weird arm and not deliberately chucking so he shouldn't have been no balled. An enquiry should have been done with the match referee after the match. Daryl Hair is a no good fella, the whole world knows that now, so no worries.- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
Well, If I had to pick a bowling unit to bowl in Aus/Eng/SA/NZ conditions then my first pick will be Dennis Lillee before anyone. Sir Richard was a wonderful bowler and he excelled in a weak team which is true and something I respect a lot but then Lillee had raw speed and intimidating power...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
Warne couldn't match the Indians, True ! However the question is could Murali match the Indians? He had equally horrible figures against the best players of spin and Sehwag massacred Murali like Sachin massacred Warne. I see no reason why Murali has any edge over Warne when it came to bowling @...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
Well they did bowl head to head in SL in 2003/04 and Warne did picked 26 wickets @ 20.03 ;) while Murali picked 28 @ a higher bowling average of 23 ... That was when Warne was fully fit and bowling at his best and so was Murali unlike the 99 year when Warne wasn't bowling that good and had a...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
I wouldn't compare the 2 and do lot of in-depth analysis on their match by match performance but then I give the Warne the nod since I like his aggression a lot. Moreover he has been great in the 90s as well as in the 00s decade while Murali wasn't very good in the 90s. That having said Murali...- KINGOFKINGS

Flower in an all time list is BS. He avged 22 in Eng, 26 in SA, 23 in Sri Lanka, 38 in Pakistan and he doesn't have any hundreds in 5 tests played in NZ. You want such a guy to be ahead of Gilchrist who has tons everywhere? seriously? Hayden ? No ... He was predominantly an Australian Bully...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
I agree but then Sehwag's style I don't like a lot. I mean he used to throw away his wicket carelessly when the team needed him and never had I see Gilly throw away his wicket when the team was in trouble. He more often than not bailed them out from situations like 92/5, 102/5, 202/5 and Aus...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
I am well aware that Sir Gary is the 4th highest wickettaker of the 1960s decade behind Mckenzie, Gibbs and Trueman. Gary's bowling avg of 32 isn't too bad considering Wes Hall had a bowling avg of 29 and Gibbs almost 28 in the 1960s decade. More highlights of Sobers' bowling was he dismissed...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
Gilly over Sehwag for these reasons 01> Sehwag and Gilly have same strike rates and as far as the avg goes I've told you Gilly used to throw away his wicket so many times when Aus were at 470/5 or 550/5 and he walked in to bat and a Quick declaration was required. He never cared for stats or...- KINGOFKINGS

Top ten greatest bowlers and batsmen of all time
I am not trying to compare McGrath's ODI stats to Marshall's. I am comparing Marshall to his own peers and asking why isn't he in the top 3-4 in his own era in ODIs as well? Someone like Lillee [who is considered the golden standard of fast bowling by his peers and future generations] adapted...- KINGOFKINGS
