Also i doubt he would cut it now with a strike rate of what i heard was below 35. he would at most face 100 balls in todays cricket. with the advances in bowling such as reverse swing cutters and spinners with their perfect flipper, unpickable wrong un, doosra's, teesra's and all these other deliveries perfectly executed by the likes of warne mcgrath murali and co. | I know that in this forum we should refrain from being rude to other members, but the above quote demonstrates a pitiful ignorance of the game of cricket, and especially its history. May I recommend that the writer b3au visit his local library or some other source and do some serious reading on cricket and refrain from submitting such nonsense to these forums.  |
