    When was Allan Donald at his fastest?

    And second question - When was Donald at his peak? (not necessarily being at his fastest)

    Has the ODI cricket today lost the appeal it used to have in the 1990's?

    Bilateral ODIs have become painstakingly boring these days. Is it due to the lack of quality or endless amount cricket being played?

    How many here find it odd that Graeme Pollock rates Sehwag as the best batsman

    It's really odd when a former Test player from Aus,SA or Eng rates a batsman from subcontinent that highly. Barring the trinity (Sachin, Dravid, Laxman), they're very critical about players from subcontinent on their performances on seaming turfs. And Sehwag vs moving ball is like watching...

    Is there any bowler who's better than Malcolm Marshall or could challenge him?

    I'd probably go with Steyn. He's good enough to play cricket till the age of 36 and may even end up coming close to Mcgrath's record of 563 wickets!

    Was Sourav Ganguly really vulnerable to swing and pace?

    Heard plenty about him being a destroyer of spin but scared of pace! Was weak against short ball, and even Hayden commented on him. But his average of 65 in England does say that he isn't that hopeless against pace. So what is the fact?

    Whom does Imran Khan rate as the greatest cricketers he has played against?

    I'm not very sure but in an interview 2 years ago, he rates Viv Richards and Sunil Gavaskar as the 2 greatest cricketers he has played against. Does anyone know the actual answer?

    Which batsmen today or in 1990's you would expect to play the 1980's bowling easily?

    That's my point. There is nothing wrong in Punter's technique, he's PURELY ORTHODOX. But his approach to in coming deliveries is a bit strange, why does he shuffle so much is still a mystery to me.

    Which batsmen today or in 1990's you would expect to play the 1980's bowling easily?

    Watch Dravid's 148 at Headingley in 2002 and Sachin's 169 in Cape Town. Some KILLER inswingers were being bowled and that too at great pace! Both top notch knocks. The thing with Punter is, he shuffles too much across the off-stump which invites the danger of getting lbw by an offie or a fast...

    Which batsmen today or in 1990's you would expect to play the 1980's bowling easily?

    Ponting was top batsman against the short ball but vulnerable to inswing at a high pace. Even in the recent series, he smashed Ishant and Zaheer but looked shaky against Yadav. Who can forget tha big inswinger with which Yadav sent Punter's off stump cartwheeling at Perth?

    How did "All Time Great" fast bowlers practice or prepare themselves before a Test

    How did "All Time Great" fast bowlers practice or prepare themselves before a Test I'm keen to know, what did the great Windies quartet of 80's, Lillee/Thompson , Imran Khan/Wasim Akram did to bowl fast consistently? Did they regularly hit the gym and worked on their muscles, or they used...

    Which batsmen today or in 1990's you would expect to play the 1980's bowling easily?

    I'm wondering, whether who among today would have played Marshall/Lillee/Imran Khan at their prime with ease?

    How would you rate the 3 greatest batting line ups post 1960?

    The line ups are: 1. West Indies of mid 1980's 2. Australia of late 1990's 3. India of early 2000's. This is my rating: Against fast and short pitched bowling: 1. West Indies. 2. Australia 3. India. Against conventional swing/seam: 1.West Indies 2.Australia 3.India Against Reverse Swing...

    Sehwag likely to be the next test captain

    He DESERVES it!!!!!! That **** DESERVES it for his **** UP defensive captaincy!!!!!!! My blood was BOILING when Dhoni went for defensive route after having Australia at 27/4. If he doesn't get dropped, then James Anderson should bowl him a 128 kph inswinging yorker and make it look like a 160...

    How difficult it is to play quality spin

    How difficult it is to play quality spin

    I know many batsmen who have THRASHED pacers operating at 95 mph, but looked like school boys against tweakers! Kevin Pietersen has one of the best pull shots and is a top player of pace, but has no idea against decent spin. Viv Richards smashed Lillee, Thompson, Bob Willis, Botham and Imran...

    Your top 3 Test innings

    This question may be as common as "Tendulkar vs Lara" one, but still worth discussing. Mine are: No.1 - Graham Gooch 154*: I've seen loads of Tendulkars, Laras and Viv Richards, but NEVER seen such a high quality knock played by the three batsmen above. This by far the best. No.2 - VVS...
