Is that how he scored that 170odd not out against Australia?

Hmmmm...?

In ODIs he has performed according to what he has almost done against all teams, but he has been dismal in Tests against India. Surely, there must be someone more frustrating for India than Flintoff.

 

[thewizard1o1]

For me it would be Kallis, Laxman and Dravid. Both players always seem to bat on and on against us .

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Oh yeah thats right, victimised the WI didn't he?

Brutalized is more like it.

I quite the like the idea of a thread saying which player from your country annoys you the most because there would be lots of different opinions on that topic.

But in line with the topic:

Australia : Bevan
New Zealand : Richardson (and Vettori in the last series against England in England.)
India : Ganguly
Pakistan : Youhana
Sri Lanka : Atapattu
South Africa : Smith
West Indies : Lara

They are just personal opinions, I haven't researched them so might just be a distorted memory.

For England, the people who have frustrated me a little in a petty way are :

Butcher, Vaughan and Flintoff for their obvious talent yet they haven't YET been able to perform like the Australian and Indian batsman have and do it year-in year-out at the peak of their game.....am I asking too much? Quite probably but I wouldn't be English if I didn't have a moan.

Yeah I agree with Bevan, im surprised more Englishmen haven't mentioned him. Hes created disaster more then once.

 

[Waughney]

Patience, patience. They all start to loging in about now.

 

[biased indian]

saeed anwar

 

[superkingdave]

Gary Kirsten

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

West Indies : Lara

I thought you guys enjoyed it.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Gary Kirsten

Yes, he can get pretty annoying too. He just looks perfect at the crease. As a bowler you probably wonder how you're going to get him out.

 

[Nate]

on the other hand, i love seeing ganguly come in, especially in odis!! lee to ganguly... mmmmmm...

 

[ReallyCrazy]

A short one from Lee and Ganguly smashes him over midwicket for six

as for da question, for india i will pick hayden, inzamam and jayasuriya

No Chanderpaul?

 

[tooextracool]

i was the first one to mention bevan,PY just ripped it off from me.....

 

[masterblaster]

Surprisingly Bevan never has really troubled India in ODI's.

On the other hand, Andrew Symonds has been superb against India, all the time, every time. That innings at Perth in the VB Series just blew us away.

 

[tooextracool]

No Chanderpaul?

he does only average 85.33 against them though....with 5 100s and 7 50s

 

[tooextracool]

well then you missed the triangular series in 97-98 where he single handedly won it for australia(averaged 85),the series in sharjah just after that where he averaged 92 and the ODI series in 2000-01 where he average 109.
oh and symonds instead?you're a real joker....

 

[masterblaster]

last time i remember, Symonds has destroyed the Indian bowling on many occasions.
Did you watch the VB Series? Tri Series between Australia, India and Sri Lanka back in 1999?

 

[a massive zebra]

Greg Smith against England was ridiculous last year.
