Whether it is batting or pace bowling, Carribbean flair is always a treat to watch than Indian chappathi rolling or Pakistani banana swinging.

இந்த ஆட்டத்திலேயே அடித்தாலும் ஆச்சர்யபடுவதற்கில்லை. 300 வரை உங்கள் ஆட்டத்திறமை மற்றும் பந்து வீச்சை பொறுத்தது. ஆனால் 300க்குப் பின் ஆட்டக்காரரின் ஆட்டத்தை விட மனநிலையை சார்ந்தே இருக்கிறது. சாதனையை தகர்க்க முயன்று தோற்றவர்களின் பட்டியல் நீண்டு கொண்டே போகிறது. :)Quote:

That innings was already interrupted by rain many times. In fact, almost a day has been lost if you calculate the no. of overs were bowled. WI had no firepower in their bowling. Because of the tiredness, England might have got all out in their first innings. But in the second innings I think WI bowlers toiled for more than 130 overs and still got only five wickets. Had Lara declared the innings earlier the match, I am sure that the match would have been ended in a draw.Quote:

Roy Fredericks, Greenidge(RH), Lloyd all played similar to Gayle but they played shots neatly because of their footwork. Further, they were good drivers of the ball. I accept that Gayle is not a good driver of the ball. In fact, he is bludgeoning the ball. But his cut, pull, one legged pull and hook shots has carribean stamp. :)Quote:

style : considering the period the game was played at - it looked really good..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENsx6564dxo - look at the first two shots...looks so contemporary.. :clap:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9QMJ_RkZaU - little nudge towards leg side, the cut, the pull..looks very very good..
there is something similar to sachin's style there... :)
sourav,

There is a heavy discussion going on about Bradman's supposed superiority in a cricket forum I frequent. Some of the arguments are quite convincing that Bradman is not the greatest batsman ever played.

If he really didnt value test cricket, he wont toil in the heat two days for a triple hundred, would he?
Sometimes, you need to go beyond words and statements. This is a case of walking the walk but not talking the talk, which is quite the opposite of English standards.
