Aus 2000 vs Eng 1950s

[Johan]

I was thinking 80s Eng wickets, a nice mix of seamers and the occasional flat wicket. Era specific it is too much of an advantage.

mostly greentops hmmm, favouring England, once again, a lot more experience on these type of wickets and the batting is plain better everywhere in the world.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Yeah but Warne is a completely different bowler with his bag of tricks. They'll struggle

Warne would have a very tough time bowling to Hutton. Compton, Barrington etc. too. This is not a crap batting lineup of England which had no clue against a spinner. Laker in England probably a bigger threat than Warne.

Those guys have no clue wtf a flipper is and lol at the possibility of Laker being more threatening than Warne on any wicket

Grimmett invented the flipper you numbskull.

Grimmett invented the flipper you numbskull.

Yes but his flipper was so obvious due to the snapping sound of the fingers. I believe he used to snap the fingers of his other hand sometimes to outfox the batters

Warne will not be so generous with such acoustic signals.

And you think nobody else used it? That the English players would never have faced it? Not like from um…. Benaud? They didn’t face him at all right?

 

[Gob]

Not like Shane's yes

Warne didn’t invent or do anything new. He was great but flipped came decades before him. He had his problems agianst India and didn’t do that much in West Indies either. Warne vs Hutton and I can bet Warne would face lot more problems than Hutton. Barrington had no problems against spin and Compton did have experiences of facing O’Reilly pre-War. If anything Warne doesn’t bowl to a crap English batting.

Yeah I don't get where the idea that Warne will be bowling to lemmings comes from.

Don't act like you didn't say those batters have no idea what a flipper is.

It comes from Gob. Those old dudes have never seen anything turning that much that viciously and then go straight with hardly any change in grip. Will they eventually figure it out? Maybe after 2 or 3 serieses but not in the first attempt no way. They will all be sitting ducks

Ok but will Warne do better against 50s England or 90s England?

 

[Gob]

Well 50s England are better but that advantage will be curtailed by the sticky wickets. They started covering the wickets regularly by 60s right? I can't imagine how unplayable he would be on such a wicket

Just **** him already

Ok but I imagine them playing on 80s wickets as neutral rather than of each era.

And just to mention, Warne did well against 90s England in England but wasn't like unplayable. He took 58 wickets in 12 tests @24.5 with a very high SR. So I imagine he will bowl well but won't be the deciding factor against 50s England.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

I was thinking both teams would have some time to prepare rather than play direct match. Say a year ish. Warne would be a threat but nowhere close to be near unplayable. Laker in England is one of the best bowlers ever. The Australian batting lineup was totally dominated by Harbhajan. Laker is definitely capable of such feats even more.

Trueman himself will be really deadly on seeming wickets. It will be a battle royale.
