"He is a world class player"

Each team has plenty of world class players.
In fact, Kallis easily wins the crown of greatest ever cricketer of our time.

Runs, Wickets, Catches in plenty across both formats.
Nobody comes close.

you are right .

Thats why kallis features in world 11 right ?

Oh wait he doesn't.

The selection commitee is wrong , JAYA HAS DECLARED KALLIS TO BE THE GREATEST EVER.

How dare they not include Kallis in all time world 11

Ha, ha ... Cricinfo made 2 teams in their All Time World XI chapter. Tendulkar made it in the 1st (main) team itself. Kallis couldn't even make it to the 2nd team.

oooh yeah sure !

by your definition, every board should fix their matches so that india wins right ?

You seriously nthink ICC is like the govt of India ? AKA KANGRESS ?


Just because you treat your country like sh1t doesn't mean that icc would treat the game the same way.

Mohammad IQBAL should be included in the Indian team for South Africa tour along with Rajesh Chauhan and Abey Kurvilla.. They have performed exceptionally well in Domestic season. Tendulkar can be excluded from the side to be fit for World Cup.

I can dissagree to the aurgument though am a great fan of Sachin.
If you really want to compare greats across times. The way to do it would be this, as per me...

You have to look at how far ahead he is from the next great guy in his era who is playing in the same conditions. So you have to compare bradman and the next guy to him and Sachin and the next guy to him. Who ever has the a greatest difference is the bigger cricketer. As per me Bradman wins that one. So......

One knock on the head of Sachin by Unadkat without a helmet would have settled it.
That's how Bradman played. Without a helmet.

ever heard of larwood- he was said to equal to jeff thompson in pace. and to bat on sticky wicket after rain & no covers well it doesnt matter whether bowler were fast or not but do watch some bodyline vidoes

every hear of lawwood ? yes

Did you clock him with a speedgun ?

Oh you mean Larwood played alongside thomson and since THOMSON's bowling speed has been clocked, you can deduce that larwood bowled as fast as thomson ?

Bodyline videos ? you mean the videos where the bowler is bowling bouncers ? you can bowl at 120-130 kmph bouncers and batsmen will struggle to cope up lot of times.

Lawwood is the only fast bowler that has been mentioned regularly.
Did Larwood play after that series ? How long did Bradman have to play against Larwood ?

Smith is a Gentlemen off-course. But if you read it carefully he didn't mention another batting genius and gentleman who is on tour and that is Rahul Dravid.
Tendulkar off course is a hero of many kids when he was 20 year old and watching him bat that time was a simple pleasure and melody and being an Indian to watch him bat fill so much proud in us that time. I still miss his Batting prowess of 90es. He is still good and developed a different taste in his batting but THAT Tendulkar was a class apart....no one born on earth to match him that time !!

vimalesh,there is nothing to praise for dravid,he is very selfish and i guess no one will inspire him or see him as a idol

Indian Team is always late starter. If they can play draw, then sure India will win the series.
