Fastest To Multiples Of 1000 Runs

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

hes not that bad a bowler, hes just so bloody slow!

That's effective in ODI cricket and whatever is effective, use it.

 

[Mr. P]

yes, i realise he has dismissed ponting 3 times. all of which i'm guessing when he was going for a big hit.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

He's had Ponting bowled, caught and stumped.

He's also had Taylor twice in Tests - LBW and caught.

 

[Mr. P]

bowled, caught and stumped. well, there you go. i bet the catch was in the outfield, a mistimed hoik. the stumping speaks for itself. i reckon he would have been bowled on the charge.

Arivinda is the type of bowler who does trouble Ponting because he hates having to make the pace.

I thought he was infallible and the greatest player ever?

 

[Mr. P]

he is. why would this mean he isn't?

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

he is. why would this mean he isn't?

Do you know what infallible means?

 

[Eclipse]

I thought he was infallible and the greatest player ever?

Just because he is one of my favorite players does not mean I am going to deny he has his weekneses.

 

[Mr. P]

I was being stupid. Of course he has a weakness. Every batsman does. Except maybe Bradman.

No you were right with the first part. Every batsman has a weakness. Remember bodyline?

 

[Bazza]

Bradman had weaknesses. Ever heard of bodyline?

Anyway if Bradman had no weaknesses that would make him immortal and he would have hit every ball for 6 throughout his 100 year career. Actually he would still be alive and playing, so Bradman had plenty of weaknesses methinks!

 

[Mr. P]

i had a feeling you may say this, except there is virtually no batsman who could hold out bodyline. and bradman did make a century that series.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

That's unfair, not every batsman has faced bodyline bowling so we'll never know.

Besides, even if no batsman could keep out bodyline bowling, it's still a weakness which falsifies your statement.

 

[marc71178]

Bradman had weaknesses. Ever heard of bodyline?

Where he only averaged about 55 - some weakness!

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Where he only averaged about 55 - some weakness!

44 points off his career average...

i dont see it as such a big surprise that ganguly is faster than tendulkar in reaching certain milestones..people underestimate his talent, he is actually a bloody good player albeit hes a damn arrogant git.

55? thats just poor

 

[Mr. P]

yeah, i see him as a damn arrogant git. i tried looking in my heart to see the good side of ganguly, but all i could find was a snarling face looking straight at me.
