400 Test wickets

[Jakester1288]

For sure, permitting Twenty20 doesn't cut back on the amount of Tests played.

 

[GotSpin]

Eventually the Twenty20 fad will fade just like ODIs

No, never again will another bowler take 400 test wickets.

Asif and Steyn are my picks from the current lot.

From the newer ones..I highly doubt it..not because of lack of quality but because the number of test match cricket being played will reduce over the next few years.

Asif is no chance of 400. 17 Tests in 5 years does not suggest of a bowler who is suddenly to play the next 70-85 Tests he would need to reach 400.

Indeed

Not for England it won't.We will still have 6 or 7 tests a home summer and a couple of tours a winter.No reduction there is there.

Ha, lol. How long was it before Gibbs joined FST in the 300 club?

Richie clearly wasn't planning on such a long innings back then. Sounded much more clipped and nasal too, ftr.

 

[Jono]

Lol, classic quote.

 

[Burgey]

Dougeh to take 400 in the next 2 years. Get on.

Dougeh.

 

[Kylez]

Would not rule out an upcoming Australian bowler like George or Copeland to take 400 wickets in test cricket.

Would not rule out an upcoming Australian bowler like George or Copeland to take 400 wickets in test cricket.

Copeland is already 24 and there is a long way to go before he plays a Test match.

I would like to say Josh Hazlewood will be a great bowler of the future and will break 500 Test wickets

Vettori and Harbajhan will, if Ntini gets a recall he probably will, Steyn might unless he declines, Aamer could if Pakistan start playing tests again, etc.

 

[Teja.]

Don't think it's fair to say bowlers who haven't yet made their debut will take 400 wickets.

 

[Jakester1288]

Vettori and Harbajhan will, if Ntini gets a recall he probably will, Steyn might unless he declines, Aamer could if Pakistan start playing tests again, etc.

Thanks for summing up what I just read.

 

[Xuhaib]

Steyn, Bhajji, Vettori and Kaneria.At a long shot Amer and Ishant Sharma.

 

[Shri]

Lol Ishant Sharma. Amit Mishra imo.

The reason he has played 17 tests is not because of lack of quality but because of external factors.
Assuming his career is not uninterrupted by these external factors, I dont see why not.

Cricketweb posters in 2021 will be digging this up.

I'm not an IT expert, so can't comment on how the technology will transform by then.

 

[Migara]

He's a quality bowler and certainly capable but obviously he's just too much of an idiot to make it worthwhile. What a waste of talent. The Asif and Aamer combination sounds fascinating but I doubt we'd see much of it.

Easiest is to hand him over to SL. Here it is much more disciplined.
