The Better Player: Ravi Ashwin vs. Shaun Pollock

[sunilz]

True but their secret sauce in 2004 was Kasprowicz I thought. He was pretty important in the results they achieved in the SC in that 2004 and a year before and after period.

Was Australia's main pacer in 2004 tour of SL when they won 3-0. McGrath didn't play and Gillespie averaged more than him and took less wickets.

Alexa, please define oxymoron

Haha what I mean is he had some success in Asian conditions but selectors and commentators took it to the extreme as if he was a magical subcontinent specialist.

He was actually.
Check the bowling average of LEE, Johnson and Stuart Clark on the next tour (2008)

When you have bradman in your team,every one would be confident.As I mentioned ‘most likely’beat.That team even without bradman is an ATG team itself.
Barnes
Morris
Bradman(c)
Hassett
Harvey
Brown/loxton
Miller
Lindwall
Tallon(wk)
Ian Johnston/mccool
Bill Johnston
A atg batting line up,one of ,if not the greatest/strongest of all time.If brown plays instead of loxton then 6 batsman with an average over 45.With bradman’s 99.94.An atg all rounder Miller.Atg fast bowler lindwall,atg Keeper tallon.Bill Johnston a ATVG bowler.Looks as good as any team ever.

Oh shut up you ancient bore.

The problem is more that your stock answers to anything is one of Bradman/Bradman's Invincibles/anyone playing before WW2 and you act like some grand speaker of truth.

C'mon everyone, let's hijack this thread to be about the Invincibles.

Some weak parts, but overall a very strong side thanks to Braddles (who averaged 178.75 vs India by the way, thus would fare extraordinarily well in India).

Would lose 5-0 and it wouldn't even be a contest. All of them are dead, I hear.

Would probably have died if they played in Delhi or Kanpur at this time of the year to be frank.
