    The Deadly Duos of the 90's

    The 90's was a brilliant period for fast bowling. Most teams had atleast one deadly spearhead who they could rely on to get them wickets. Certain teams were blessed that they had two. More specifically, I'm referring to the deadly duo's of Wasim/Waqar, Ambrose/Walsh and Donald/Pollock. But...

    The Dead-Rubber WC?

    I read an article in Page 2 the other day (can't find the link atm) that brought up a very good point - this WC halls all the marks of being boring. In all essence - it's only the last 7 matches that will have any real bearing to the outcome. The likelihood of any upset is very slim...

    Greatest All-Rounder Since Sobers

    Just something I've been thinking about after watching Kallis recently of who is the greatest since sobers? Put a poll-up of the contenders that I could think of at the top off my head, but for me it has to be Kallis - same average as sobers with both bat and ball, more or less same no. of...
