@mariner4life He's someone who'll be appreciated more when he retires. Prboably the best swing bowler the game has ever seen, both with the duke and kookaburra.
I'll take Wasim Akram
Bloody hell, I still have nightmares of sitting on the couch in the mid 90s when NZ were chasing a hundred odd to win and him and Waqar got five each. What a pair they were.

Regularly taking such mighty scalps as Rod Latham, Shane Thomson, Ken Rutherford and the two Blairs.......( MN5 shudders at the state of NZ cricket in the mid 90s )

@MN5 Gunner seems to think Southee is beyond reproach. He's not. I'm just balancing the argument.
How is it up there on that high horse?

Womens cricket is pretty rubbish viewing. If they think putting womens cricket on TV will bring eyeballs.. he is kidding himself. The product just isnt good.
""We're very, very focused on making sure we've had a very strong lineup of women's content on Spark Sport because we think that's a terrific opportunity."
Happy to let ratings decide? Yeah I bet not.

You realize they arent talking live cricket during the covid timeframe? You would watch competitive marbles at the moment.

They really did seem to visit every summer from memory......those were the days....now we alternate between powerhouses like Bangladesh and Sri Lanka ( minus Sangakara and Jayawardne )

It’s not my team but when you look at those first 8 names, they all know how to score test runs. Also taking 20 wickets is king in test cricket....

I'd go for one of Bradman's contemporaries in Bill Ponsford over Gooch everytime.
