*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[Spikey]

All-round good guy

While he may have come to wider attention through his batting and bowling feats in the KFC Big Bash League, James Faulkner has more than proved his mettle in the game’s long form........Renowned as much for his competitive instincts as his God-given talents

 

[Furball]

Nah AB is a better keeper and fielder.

Fielding's an interesting one actually. It's easy to forget how good a fielder Clarke was, Symonds-Ponting-Clarke is easily the greatest ring field I've ever seen in ODI cricket.

 

[Burgey]

Not a patch on the current atg Indian fielding outfit. #asktheexpert

The windies had Richards, Logie and Harper at one point. Handy tstl

 

[Riggins]

Yeah Clarke had an absolute rocket throwing arm.

Didn't Richards get 3 run outs in a World Cup?

 

[uvelocity]

clarkeh not too shabby going to his left iirc

Yeah that's why I loved him in at point.

Clarke at point, Ponting at cover and Symonds at mid-off basically shut down the offside as a scoring option. Immense trio.

 

[hendrix]

quite like Williamson at Gully, Ryder at point, Guptill at midoff at the moment.

Four I think - first WC final in 75

Yeah they were awesome. All guns.

Imagine if they had AB in there instead of Clarke. They'd have been even better.

Yep. Viv got 3 of the 5.
