International Captain
Who cares how good he could have been? Had a very different personality compared to other Indian cricketers in the 90s and his batting style had a lot of flair, flamboyance and aggression. Still like watching his double hundred when the highlights are telecasted. And, he also has 2 200s. They were also back to back iirc. Correct me if I am wrong.
nothing wrong with your reasoning here. i agree with you.

Shakib, Younis and Inzi have all been immense so far, and Pollock really came to the party in that last match as well. Samaraweera's big ton in that last match, when no-one in the first two innings went past 50, and Lara was the next best score with 70-odd must be a candidate for knock of the series so far.

When do Somerset and I play?

Somerset

Cricketer Of The Year
Really pleased that my side performed so well at home again, winning 3-0 against Michael's side which looked a very strong one. That second test looked like an absolute beauty, and its good to see we're ending up on the right side of those close ones (after the one wicket win in round one).
