    Current players would probably be Chanderpaul although would depend on the bowling attack. All time would be Jack Hobbs, Alan Border, Steve Waugh, WG Grace or Keith Miller

    Bloody Minded Innings in Cricket.

    Bert Suttcliffe's quick fire 80* against South Africa in 1953 after being hit in the head by Neil Adcock and having to go to hospital before he'd got off the mark. He also added 33 runs for the last wicket in 10 minutes with Bob Blair who displayed his own form of heroism by going out to bat...

    Facing the facts of history - Windies greater than Aussies

    If you mean Bradman, then yes he was the main star, but they also had Barnes and Morris at the top of the order who were imo 2 of the greatest 3 Australian openners ever, Hassett who was top quality if not AT great material a bit similar to Michael Clarke now right down to being vice captain...

    Facing the facts of history - Windies greater than Aussies

    I'm laughing at the comment that only Australia, England and the West Indies were any good in the 1980's. Australia had a 3 or 4 year period from 1984 where Alan Border apart they were completly and utterly rubbish (Yes some players that played in this time frame became great players but they...

    Most Stupid Cricketing Moment

    1. Australian selectors dropping Bradman 1928 2. Grimmett not being picked for 1938 Ashes tour 3. Sid Barnes being banned from Australian test team 4. W.G. Grace's unsportsmanlike run out of Sammy Jones in 1882 5. English captain saying to Australian captain Joe Darling "We've got...

    West Indies (70's-80's) vs Australia (2000's)?
