Hadlee for NZ
Flower for Zim

Murali had a strong batting and Vaas for support

 

[DrWolverine]

Hadlee had Crowe but I was speaking in terms of bowling support and I do not rate Vaas much as a bowler

 

[Johan]

Vaas was a beast at home atleast, and in NZ/Windies/Pakistan atleast, that is 70% of Murali's games

Hadlee didn't had any Great bowlers but he did had a few alright ones for the majority of his run like Chatfield, Cairns, Collinge (early career), etc weren't shabby.

they were pretty valid, seam friendly wickets for their pacers, turners for Saqlain, flat roads for their batters and so forth, good pitches all around, 2000s Pakistan was pathetically flat tho

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Shoaibs record in the 2000s considering the pitches really is incredible. Especially the strike rate.

 

[Van_Sri]

Ponting was better

It was a good ball
Lara losing balance made it a legendary delivery

Lara smacking him for two fours earlier made it more legendary as a comeback.

 

[Johan]

not really sure how you're supposed to play that

 

[honestbharani]

Lol @ anyone watching cricket in the 90s and thinking Lara and Sachin had similar levels of support from the rest of their respective batting lineups.

Agreed, Flower’s support was better than most people give them credit for.
