IT gets a bit boring people whinging about doctored pitches. Isnt that challenge of playing in a foreign country?

Fair call from Cricket Australia. Player safety is paramount. They should organise a Bangladeshi tour here perhaps at the top end. AUstralia touring Sri Lanka next year. Hope it goes ahead.

Very odd to play only 2 tests in each series???? I guess it was a deal he reached with SL cricket if he fulfilled their desire for him to play. in my view, its a backhanded slap at the SL board for the payment problems the SL players have. CHose to play for Surrey rather than SL....not a huge...

Pontings ininings was remarkable! Everything he hit just went where he wanted it too. He made that ground look like a postage stamp. Aravinda De Silva in the 96 final was fantastic. The concentration and ability to perform under pressure was great.

Kohli and De Villiers can be judged at the end of their careers. Do we belittle Ponting. Gilchrist, Mark Waugh and so on for their lesser performances on the sub continent??? SO why do we need to have a crack at subcontinental players for their performance outside those conditions? Whilst i...

I find your purpose on this forum rather amusing hahaahah yet pathetic :) how did Clarke and the aussie batsman go against Aussie bowlers??? oh thats right they never played against their own team :) Aussie players including Clarke slaughtered very average bowling attacks haha How did Michael...

I believe he averages around 80 odd in world cup knockout games? Pretty decent.

Not at all. He is a legend of the game. Bradman played in losing tests too. In his last game he scored a duck, do we dispute he is the greatest? "piss poor" haha never said you had a dig at him...just saying we should still be able to talk about him. a great batsman. How poorly he and SL...

Not at all. He is a legend of the game. Bradman played in losing tests too. In his last game he scored a duck, do we dispute he is the greatest?

Yep lets pick a sample size of 1! Lets ignore the MOM innings in the World T 20 final, lets ignore the 10 double hundreds in test cricket...lets ignore the 4 centuries in a row in this world cup. Agree it was a shite inning tbh but nothing will change the fact he is a legend

LOL clearly you are trying to bait people which is sad enough or if not you need some serious help :) either way couldnt care less what you say :) FACT: Murali is a legend who is the greatest wicket taker of all time FACT: Sri Lanka won the world cup in 1996 and made finals in 2007 and 2011...

It is soooo funny people that want to bag subcontinental players for having to play on easy pitches. If its so easy why do other players struggle? Ponting etc? And when a subcontinent bowler does well why do people say the pitches favour them??? waht is it? easy batting pitch or bowling pitch...

having a bit of fun hahaha

3 hundreds on the trot? anyone wanna find a way to have a crack at that :P

I reckon Sanga might be leading run scorer and maybe even player of the series in this world cup, this is in Australia and NZ. ANyone wanna try and discredit that? haha

Runs in India dont matter ay :D i guess that shouldnt worry Ricky Ponting because he didnt really score any there :D

Good commentator. I am 33 now and grew up with him on the footy. All the best Drew

Sanga got a mention on inside cricket today. Due recognition. Personally i reckon he will beat Bradman's record. Be a great achivement to do that if he could althouhg of course he wont be ever considered as good as the Don

At this point someone mentioned wicket keepers...Andy Flower has to be the best keeper batsman

Agree with this post. I dont know if we can say Sanga has been more consistent than Tendulkar, Tendulkar played for nearly 25 years?????????????????

I rate Lara and Tendulkar higher. Rate Ponting equal (although his record on the subcontinent isnt that great). I reckon Sanga is probably fourth or fifth best ever.

He has done that before ya know haahaah the purpose of this post was to provoke some discussion and the thread has gone down the road i knew it would hahaha secretly i was hoping Sanga would have a big innings to back up how good i think he is hahaa and it has come to fruition lol ( i realise...

Stats wont tell you everything i agree but it gives you a guide. His double today was after Sri Lanka were 78/5 on a sporty wicket. Remarkable innings to score more than half the runs himself. 11 Doubles and would have been 12 if not for that howler of a decision in Hobart.

I wonder how people are going to find ways to diminish this achievement. Sri Lanka were 78/5 on a green wicket and he has scored a century to put SL on top... Hajajhaa

Yeah but that is most players? Look at Pontings on the sub continent. Bradman neevr played on the subcontinent so we cant really determine how he would have done. BOttom line is Sanga has performed in big matches away from home. And like a previous poster said people can look for all ways to...

So? fourth innings of a test match and scoring 190 odd when the rest of the team put together only scored 190 odd in the fourth innings of any test when the rest of the team scored that put together is remarkable. As for Clarkes innings, you talking about the 1st test where he scored 150 odd...

I agree with David Gallops view of "fishing where the fish are". Millions of people in Sydney with a potential for way more fans. I agree that the SOuth of Sydney needs a team but it should be a team combining Southern Sydney suburbs and the South Coast. Bulk of games at Wollongong but also a...

Struggling this season but Asian Champions haha will take that any day of the week :) Need to find some spark up forward. It was always going to be a struggle this year, havent given up on it yet.

The NZ commentators are so boring lol good blokes bit boring

Agree actually. Wasnt at all trying to say SAngakarra is better than any of them, just saying he should be mentioned in the same conversation as Ponting, Lara and Tendulkar but isnt.
