WC = We ChokedAs a South African, I find World Cup stats meaningless.

Well, I didn't say whoever performs well in WC is a ODI ATG (Mohinder Amarnath isn't a ODI ATG, Steve Waugh probably isn't either). But if you look at all ODI ATGs, they've had a few notable performances in WCs.Just to confirm
Did the OP ask about ODI ATGs or WC ATGs?
Oh cool
Let's do the same for Tests
Freddie is an ATG in Tests because his ashes record at home when under 30
**** y'all
Freddie is King. End of discussion, thread closed.
Jayasuriya is a better ODI player than Flintoff, but whether he's a better allrounder is debatable. I wouldn't trust him to bowl 10 overs consistently outside sub-continent.Sorry to disagree but jayasuriya is a better all rounder than flintoff just because he can win it with bat or the ball and in when it matters.
Lol GTFO. I'm not even an Aussie or English, but even I look forward to it more than almost any other series.And Ashes is overrated FTR.
You realise this standard you're proclaiming renders every series India has ever played except for those within an 18 month window in about 2010 utter ****?That's your personal problem. But it's not a no. 1 vs no. 2 series 95% of the times.
In my original sarcastic point it was pretty clear only the 2005 Ashes counted anyway. Was 1 V 2.That's not his point.
He thinks performances in Ashes series should not be held up to the same level as performances against the all-conquering Aus/WI sides just because of the history and prestige attached; since recently Aus and Eng have both been mostly mediocre.
Still not a great point but yea.
Actually on re-reading that may not have been his point after all.
You mean apart from the greatest spinner of all time and the best batsman since Bradman?Sri Lanka have never done anything to anyone. Probably because they've not ever produced the players required to do so.
Big calls.You mean apart from the greatest spinner of all time and the best batsman since Bradman?
Sorry, probably a bit of hyperbole on my behalf but had to respond to the above statementBig calls.
Probably moreso the latter though.
I love a good troll bowler but Flintoff has the wood on Harris with the bat. As bowlers their roles are completely different so if I was making a team I don't think they would be competing against each other.I would pick Klusener and Chris Harris as ODI alrounders ahead of Flintoff
