Astle's cut to Lara's swagger and Shoaib's pace!

One England player who I feel should have played more this century is Chris Read. For me, easily the best English glovesman since Jack Russel. A Nottinghamshire great who had a very special talent of keeping wickets.

@Cricket_Hippie @WG_RumblePants Team A wins the series 2-1 and is slightly stronger in both departments. More importantly they have a world class spinner. I'd like to have D Gough in there too [ perhaps in place of Harmison? - Hoggard - better swing bowler in English conditions ].
English
@nimishdubey No doubt. The flair, glamour and the class of the original WI cricket is what world cricket miss the most. Everything seems to be gone. Hearing Tony Cozier or Holding during a Caribbean summer was nothing less than an event in itself. Oh, those were the days.

@coverpoint_ The fall of the West Indies has been the greatest loss for all sport, not just cricket. This was a nation that a sport built.
English
I am not going to say Test cricket is better than ODIs or T20.
Each right now is a totally different sport in a manner of speaking with different rules and regulations.
I just favour Test cricket as a better measure of the skill and ability of a player and/or team because it is the format with the least restrictions.
English
@nimishdubey Indeed, and it's very unfortunate. Sri Lanka's school and club cricket is still relevant and giving talented players here and there. Can't quite say that for the other two. For Pak - no consistency in system and overall standards have gone down drastically.
English
@coverpoint_ I just so hope it does. It has been heartbreaking to see the likes of West Indies, Pakistan, Zimbabwe and even Sri Lanka fade away...
English
@nimishdubey I get what you mean, and I know that at present, competitiveness is'nt quite there, hardly a few top teams and not many great players either. But Test cricket will still survive because of its traditional values and will continue to thrive in a few countries.
English
@coverpoint_ I certainly think it is the biggest Test of a player's ability, sir. Cannot say as to the future or even the present of the sport.
English
@nimishdubey That Test cricket is the pinnacle and is the past, present and future of cricket, irrespective of how much the game moves forward. ODI is the closest and a great format. But T20 is something which should not be taken seriously apart from perhaps world events.

Perhaps the most underrated aspect of Pollock's bowling was his surprise short ball in early years of his career.
Nipping the ball either way with consistency.
He was also a much better batter than what his overall number suggest.

Jayasuriya smashing 17 balls fifty at Padang in Singer Cup or Afridi smashing 37 balls hundred at Nairobi. Both did that 30 years ago and were rightly the real game changers as far as modern and aggressive brand of cricket is concerned.
Slog Sweep-189@SloggSweep
How difficult it is to break 12 ball 50 and 30 ball 100 that modern batters despite being so skilful and attacking aren’t able to break it and those records were made more than 10 years before . Yuvraj & Gayle were absolute monsters .
English
Watching him right from the day he squared up Mark Vermeulen on debut and that WC spell at Kingsmead vs Pak. Anderson is still taking wickets with same hunger in his professional career.

@NoContextCounty That stance from John Simpson gives the Ed Joyce vibes. I guess he made his debut at Edgbaston when England went with some new faces for the ODI series during the 2021 summer.

That is a typical Abbas wobble-seam dismissal in English conditions.

WOWWW 🤯🤯 A great one-handed grab from Aitchison at second slip off Muhammad Abbas!! #WeAreDerbyshire

Panesar was one of those eye-catching left arm spinners. He outperformed Swann in that 2012 series vs Pak. His battle with Younis Khan was watchable. He had a great way of appealing. May well have played more had a few things went in a right direction.
Cricketopia@CricketopiaCom
Happy Birthday @zkp_scroll (Monty Panesar) Took Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket as his maiden test wicket in 2006 in Nagpur. Took 17 wickets in series win against Pakistan in 2006 In 2012, he took 17 wickets in England's first series win in India in 28 years.
English
@hershybru @theanalyst Trescothick himself didn't leave much and used to frequently play those on the up drives/punches. This current England coaching phenomenon is different. Anyways, leaving the ball always remind me of your audacious leave against Kasprowicz at Newlands.
English
@theanalyst Trescothick hasn’t worked on him leaving on length.. 45% of all his dismissals he defends balls going over the pegs or outside the line of the stumps😉
English
Zak Crawley looks to have got a rough one today. desperately need better cameras and DRS in county cricket
English
Shaheen has always been a poor death overs bowler. He hasn't quite evolved or taken his skillset to another level. Has frequently lost his compusure under pressure. Decent to good bowler at country level but was never in class of top tier modern day bowlers.
Noorish Khan@noorishsays_
It's imp to remember that Shaheen has had knee injuries twice in the last 5 years. For a pacer, those are the worst type of injuries. Both times, he was brought back sooner than usual and inevitably it has had an impact on his natural game.
English
@nimishdubey Abdul Razzaq has a strong case of hitting the ball near the sight screen as frequently, though he did that in more of a brutal way [ clearing the front leg and all that ] as compared to Ian Botham.
English
Lord yes, this was a trademark. Has anyone hit the ball so close to the sight screen as many times as Ian Botham has?
CricCapsule@Irfanooq
This isn’t a sculpture of Ares, the Greek god of war. It’s Ian Botham unleashing a thunderous shot in full fury. #CricketTwitter #Cricket
English
Fleming was a genuine swing bowler and could reverse it too [ action was tailor made for it ]. I remember that vicious reverse swinging yorker that went through Mark Ramprakash's defence in one of the Ashes Test.

Happy Birthday @bowlologist A high-quality swing bowler, he took a hat-trick in his first Test, in Rawalpindi in 1994-95. Watch his best bowling performance in tests - 9 for 91 against England at the WACA, 1998👇🏼
