Doubles was/is all that India has got in tennis, so I think India is one of the very few countries with a large tennis doubles following. Paes has never been that good in singles, I don't remember him doing much except for the Olympics singles bronze medal.
Yes, even I don't rate him much and almost every match, he has catches dropped. But he does make the most of his abilities and churns out runs consistently. He averages 54 right now and aged just 28. So, there is a good chance he could get to 55 if he has his best years ahead. Not playing T20 is also an advantage for him.
Surely the King of Indian tennis is the great Vijay Armitraj, who not only beat Laver at a US Open and was a quarter-finalist at two grand slams, but had a starring role in the 1983 James Bond classic Octo***** and in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
Djokovic still plays in DC.
The man with one of the lowest win percentages in Australian history? Man was an absolute hack and couldn’t cut it when it mattered the most, clearly.
Didn’t people used to say the same **** about Smith?
We'll know who're the real masters of reverse jinxing if Labuschagne becomes better than Smith in a few years (career wise).
Don't recall Smith enjoying the measure of luck Labuschagne has had as he's established himself. He's a good player but he's been kissed on the freckle a number of times
Shut up and book me a holiday, ****.
No one worth listening to. It was pretty clear from about 2014 that he was the real deal
That James Bond thing was only coz his brother produced the movie. They also produced the amazing Bloodstone, so there's that.
Just for fun
Completely meaningless for a few reasons but stats are stats
Calling it now, in 15 years the Aussie XI middle order will be
You don't consider Ponting even in the '/' for the 6th position?
Should start a Labu vs Smith thread and keep this stat coming up after each series.
Nah:
