[Johan]

Yeah he ain't touching any team I select. I have zero idea how he would do today.

Barnes will have this Indian team for breakfast

 

[sayon basak]

Barnes was a sort of spinner. Watch his videos.

His videos were captured when he was 80. You definitely do not expect someone to bowl fast Medium at 80 years of age.

Only if you can deliver the ball without chucking.

 

[Johan]

Only if you can deliver the ball without chucking.

I've the height, reckon if I bowl accurate enough the SA pitches would do the rest of the work for me.

wait he was spinning the ball at 80?

Height doesn't have anything to do with Chucking.

 

[sayon basak]

This video contains a footage of him bowling leg breaks at the age of 80. Better action than half of the bowlers today.

Agreed. Anyone can Chuck

 

[sayon basak]

Agreed. Anyone can Chuck

I have a 6 ft 2 friend who chucks it without even realizing.

Both Warne & Murali were poor in India

Tests : 34 wickets in 9 Tests @ 43. 1 5-Fer

ODIs(vs India) : 7 wickets in 8 ODIs @ 52.

Tests : 40 wickets in 11 Tests @ 45. 2 5-Fer.

ODIs(vs India) : 15 wickets in 14 ODIs @ 35.

The main reason, is that Indian batters back then were extremely great players of spin. Especially in home conditions. Players like Sachin, Dravid and VVS of course the top 3 but mostly everyone could play spin easily.

Teams like england and south Africa, windies were completely bamboozled by spin in all conditions. They never really got on top of Warne or Murali. The only time they did was Lara and when KP or Kallis slogged Warne. Those 3 out of the entire teams could only pick Warne.

If Sachin was amazing player of spin than why does his home vs away record so different than others.Should he have better ave in home.But it seems he unlike Lara doesn't show home ground advantage

Didn't know good players of spin cannot be good away from home.

I don't chuck

 

[sayon basak]

I don't chuck

Btw didn't you say you were 36?

Good luck debuting for the English team at the age of 36!

I did not confirm anything, fake news

 

[Fanboy375]

I think that probably won't go to good as well as he debuted as a 16 year old..... I think somewhere from his 30th Test to his 160th would be an interesting comparison.

I know he ave 58 from age 20 to 37.We don't know what Lara would ave if he played from age 16 to age 39

Below is Tendulkar and Lara at 131 Test matches. Why 131? Because that was Lara's final tally when he retired.

One also need to be considered that what if Lara played same teams as Sachin did and vice versa.Like Lara played too much vs Eng and Sachin played too much vs NZ.Eng bowling was better than NZ.

The late 90s attack which had Cairns, Doull, Nash was fine. Not amazing bowlers but quite good for home conditions. They were much worse in the 2000s (whenever Bond was injured) because all they had were Chris Martin, O'Brein, Franklin, etc. who were all terrible.

Chris Martin underrated.

90s NZ bowling was laughable

Wouldn’t that make a poor performance against them worse?
