I can't believe I ate the whole thing
Bond ineligible for the 2000s ATG side? SR of 29, econ 4.something iirc. Average of 20. That's nuts.
That's basically Brett Lee but for half as long a careerBond ineligible for the 2000s ATG side? SR of 29, econ 4.something iirc. Average of 20. That's nuts.
Imran was pretty poor with the ball in the final though. Will that be held against him ?Correct. Were it not for Imran’s 70 odd in the 92 final, King would have been in with a shot at making the all rounder spot in my definitive ATG XI posted yesterday.
Unfortunately we can’t discuss this further, because after I posted that XI, the thread was closed.
While looking at the players records by runs scored in that decade, I saw Yuvraj somewhere in the top 10. Others around him were Dravid, Kallis, Jayawardene. Symonds did not cross my mind at that stage. Yes, he is better from all fronts.Yeah Flintoff wasn't at his best as a lower order batsman was he?
Weird to put Yuvi in a 2000s XI.
If you have a 2005ish-2011 XI then you have a case.
Bond has a better average and a much better economy rate though. Brett Lee by virtue of a long career is a better shout anyways.That's basically Brett Lee but for half as long a career
Think the idea of having an ATG XI is that we want the player to be fit to play against another hypothetical XI/aliens etcBond ineligible for the 2000s ATG side? SR of 29, econ 4.something iirc. Average of 20. That's nuts.
Feels like it's missing a Kohli/Ponting/Viv type player though.Bats deep too. You've got a tearaway, a line and length merchant and Saqlain and Akram's bags of tricks. Beats the 80s IMO.
NO, because he's there as an allrounder and he excelled in one discipline on the day. Got the job done. As Benny Elias would say, this isn't rocket surgery.Imran was pretty poor with the ball in the final though. Will that be held against him ?
