Although I rate Sir Len Hutton as a true legend nothing compares to the style and quality of Bradman. What about Wlifrod Rhodes or Victor Trumper. Great cricketers they may have been but how do you beat a test average of 99.4 Then in modern cricket there is Geoff Boycott. Or Sir Viv Richards. Great cricketers in their own time. How do you make the judgment.? Last edited by: VxFan on Wed 24 Feb 16 at 01:31 Reply to this message | Report message

Fluffy, old son, I'm pleased you've joined us and I love a chat about cricket or many other things, but try calming down a bit. Imagine walking into a busy pub - well, a pub anyway - bouncing around like an overexcited great dane, jumping all over the other drinkers and demanding their attention; it's going to wear thin pretty quickly. Admittedly we're not the best people to teach you social skills, as if we had any we wouldn't be wasting our time on this backwater of the Internet. But try easing off a little, listening to and joining in some of the conversations already in progress and generally not trying to make it all about you. We'll get used to you soon enough and you'll do just fine. Reply to this message | Report message       10

Like you say they didn't play enough test cricket to judge them. I know BR took the aussies apart when he played against them. I think he would have been a brilliant 20/20 cricketer.

Lara looked sublime the one time I saw him. Tendulkar, in his last Test innings in England, looked distinctly scratchy and was outplayed by the nightwatchman Mishra, but still cobbled together 91. Both had that ability to make field placings irrelevant, because they could simply hit the ball somewhere else. But look up George Lohmann, a bowler who produced some extraordinary performances but whose career and life were cut short by WW1. Reply to this message | Report message

I'm afraid I find cricket as tedious as Runfer does. One morning, however, I switched on the TV to find it was on a cricket channel. A bowler was rubbing the ball on his trousers as they do. Before I could reach the channel button, he had bowled and got the batsman out. I really enjoyed that, but wasn't expecting what happened next. He got someone out with each of the remaining five balls of the over. That was absolute magic! Sadly it didn't last. At school I was hopeless at ball games and survived cricket by always placing myself where the ball wasn't. One day, when I was fielding, the strategy failed. I have a vivid memory of looking into the sun as the ball bore down on me at high speed. Naturally, it went straight through my fingers and hit me right between the legs. Acting casual, in those circumstances, is not easy. :-) Reply to this message | Report message

The 81 test is one of the greatest dramatic moments in sport, let alone cricket. I remember I was listening to the 4th test on the radio, The Aussies were tonking us. I had to stop and pull over somewhere to listen as Bothams 5 wickets for 1 run in 28 balls unfolded and mentally kicked the aussies in the nuts, scars they still bear to this day.

Au contraire... Four wickets in four balls is a rarer achievement, first done by Joseph Wells (father of science fiction author H. G. Wells) for Kent against Sussex in 1862. Alan Walker, for Nottinghamshire in 1956, uniquely took the last wicket of Leicestershire's first innings, and a hat-trick with the first three balls of their second innings. Bob Crisp is the only player to take four wickets in four balls on two occasions. I'll get my anorak... Oh, I have had the distinct pleasure of watching Gibbs, Fleming and Kallis make double-tons at Newlands. For reasons reported here, I missed out on the recent Stokes and Amla double-tons.

Aaah, Shaun! Top boy - I've met him on a number of occasions! Classic Shaun comment during the New Year Test, when Stokes and Bairstow were whacking it all over the parish... "A victory for gingers everywhere!" Cue hysterics in the commentary box and YES! Shaun Pollock, the South African fast bowler made a phenomenal start to his career with Warwickshire yesterday. In his fourth over, he dismissed four Leicestershire batsmen with successive balls reducing them to 9 for 5. In his 10 overs which he bowled straight off, Pollock took 6 for 21. 26/4/96 Last edited by: Ian (Cape Town) on Tue 23 Feb 16 at 13:13 Reply to this message | Report message

Sooty, we'll never know, will we? That was the damning thing about isolation - and may I just add that I was all for it! - because a generation of cricketers, footballers, athletes and rugby types of all colours never got to test themselves against the rest. Richards' record in county and other first class cricket speaks for itself. And during that period of isolation, chaps like Gary Player and Jody Scheckter did rather well in their respective sports.

I'm no cricket expert, I'll say up front, and I haven't followed it closely for many years. Hard to compare those who played in different eras, batsmen with bowlers, and specialists with all rounders. Some are revered for style, others for sheer guts or in 'Sir' Geoffrey Boycott's case, mule like immovability. As a keener follower of Yorkshire cricket when much younger, I admired both Boycott and Close. But no cricketer ever made the same impression on me as Botham, an incredible all rounder in his pomp. Remembered most often of course for the Headingley ashes match of 1981 - shame that Bob Willis couldn't share man of the match for that, without his career-best 8-43 the match would still have been lost.

>> Looks a good game cricket is it similar to baseball? Only very superficially Dutchie. Although I didn't like being made to play it, cricket is a far more complex game than baseball, and more dangerous too I think. It's also often a very long game, a proper cricket match can easily last two or three days. One big difference is that a cricket bat has a flat side, giving the batsman the ability to hit the ball wherever he wants (if he has the skill). Not so easy with a baseball bat which has a round cross-section and can send the ball anywhere. It has most value as an intruder deterrent being hard and heavy. :o} Last edited by: Armel Coussine on Thu 25 Feb 16 at 17:13 Reply to this message | Report message

>> Cork centre iirc. Yes, but the cork is wrapped in a lot of stringy stuff, not rubber I think but something a bit flexible. Then there's the leather outside with rows of sewing round the seam. Bowlers have been criticized or penalized for raising the edge of the seam with their fingernails to make the ball grip the ground and bounce the way the bowler wants. Bowlers also polish one side of the ball making a red mark on their crotches and roughen the other side by scratching it, changing the ball's aerodynamics and making it curve in the air. Only very skilled players can do that sort of thing. You don't see much of it in schoolboy crisket. WDB is right, a new ball is a beautiful object. Before they were banned, metal bats used to bruise the ball terribly making flat places on it. Last edited by: Armel Coussine on Thu 25 Feb 16 at 18:15 Reply to this message | Report message

Dennis Lillee of Australia once used a (sponsored) aluminium bat as a publicity stunt, I think at Melbourne in 1977. He was prevailed on by the umpires to put it away after the England fielders complained that it was unfairly damaging the ball. It never appeared again and the 1980 revision of the Laws introduced a requirement that the bat be made of wood. Reply to this message | Report message       1
