[Burgey]

I'd have Allan Border in four different poses.

I'd have Allan Border in four different poses.

Allan Border
The One True AB
Captain Grumpy
Pugsley

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect. The greatest man-made structure on earth. Brilliant.

mate surely one of him batting wouldn't go astray

 

[Burgey]

One of him batting is probably unnecessary, as everyone knows that distinctive crouch in the stance just before delivery, and in any event he only ever played three shots (it's all he needed). Imagine if The One True AB played as many shots as Ponting? He would literally have scored seven billion test runs. He just chose not to, because for much of his career he knew if he played a risky shot and happened to get out, unlikely though it was, the team would get rolled for twenty.

Could an aspiring young photoshop pro please create this and chuck in a random de villiers one instead of the 4th?

 

[Victor Ian]

Allan Border is always batting. The others are of him multitasking when he was being a better version of himself.

 

[Burgey]

Allan Border is so great, he actually won the poll in the Best South African Batsman thread, and he isn't even South African.

 

[Victor Ian]

Is it still true that Allan Border is the only player EVER to score 150+ in each innings of a test match?

 

[Burgey]

I believe it may well be. What a man. What a legend.

 

[Adders]

What's so good about that then?? So Alan Border achieved in 2 attempts in a test match what the good players do in 1!!

Reckon 333 + 123 in a test tops him......













Gooch for Mt Rusmore

 

[Burgey]

Come on, mate. Gooch's runs were so ordinary he actually had to bat a second time after notching 300 in the first dig. He got those runs at home on the flattest deck in England at Lord's against India in the early 90s. Their attack was Kapil Dev, a proven match fixer in Manoj Prabakhar, some kid off the street bowling under arm and a couple of horrible spinners. God, even Atherton made runs in the second dig.

AB did the 150 double away from home against Imran Khan, SarfrazNarwaz who could peel an orange one-handed with a bottle top and the great Tauseef Ahmed. There's no comparison here.

 

[mr_mister]

Amazing analogy regarding nawaz. Burgey original?
