    All-Time XI

    The topic is based around which players would be the best players if they all played together! You have to assume they all have the same gear, diet and phyiscality. For example all players would have modern bats and W.G.Grace wouldn't be playing with lumps of wood! Natural skill is the most...

    IMO Sydney Barnes is one of the most underated players ever! Just putting that out there :cool:

    Best batsman today ?

    I have to agree with 'ben91' here! You can not simply compare stats and say Sachin is a better batsmen. Tendulkar has played more games because it is easier to make the Indian team. If Ricky was Indian he would have played at 16 as well! Don't get me wrong Sachin Tendulkar will be remembered as...

    How will you remember 2007 ?

    Forgive me if I'm wrong but didnt it end on the 5th of January 2007? Therefore the 5-0 result was finalized in 2007.

    All-Time XI

    Also in 21st century cricket all the players are much more athletic, which fitness and diet considered much more important! This is a major reason why modern batsmen are dominating the total runscores list. Although I agree the 'Punter' is extremly good and I stated that I may replace Mindand...

    How will you remember 2007 ?

    I voted for the retirement of Warne and McGrath... however why is the Ashes series not on the list? That would have been my first chioce.

    All-Time XI

    Mindand perhaps not, although he had a lot of injuries and still remained scored nearly 9000 runs Headley's 10 centuries in 22 tests is amazing + an average of over 60! He lost his six best years to the war and that is why he played so few tests! First-class: 10,000 @ 70. IMO Headley is...

    Best batsman today ?

    @ sammy 1st: Hussey debuted in 2005 and has averages above 80! Yet he is not in your top 10? Secondly, I may have misunderstood the question - I thought it was the best batsmen in the world at the moment, as in the best active player. However if it is based on form then = Pointing, Kallis...

    All-Time XI

    Very hard yes but it is not impossible It is impossible to prove it, f.e Lara is a better batsmen than Hammond. However you can make informed arguments. Personally I think that this is a great topic. In answear to your question, if it was one, I have always been septical of regarding...

    Best batsman today ?

    Tendulkar, Kallis and Pointing... No offence to Chanderpaul he has an incredible player however he does not compare to these three no where near it! Average of 46 and 16 centuries is not world-beating! Only players in cricket who come close to the top three are Hussey and Sangakkara. Both...

    2007; Worst year ever for British Sport?

    It just shows you how bad England is at sport when you are forced to consider 'darts', 'snooker' and 'squash' as important sports. Im Australian, and I love the fact England are terrible at sport. Although I cannot wait for the Wallabies to get back at those Poms! :mad
