Man why have you started abusing. Even when I started that thread i only wrote what Ian chappel said. You started all these. You shouldnt have started seperate thread of yours. I can only laugh in your frustration. Players like ganguly and shewag. Haha . do you consider them as a great batsman. Infact rahul dravid is the only one batsman that stands out. laxman has been in and out of the team. Wow you consider England as minnows. When lara made England had the best bowling in the world. Check the rankings then. Harmission was number one, flintoff was 8 and simon jones and matthew hoggard was in top 20 as well. And bradman never said tendulkar is best batsman. He says some of his shots reminded of himself batting. Go and read portion of his biography. Bradman regarded lara and sachin as best batsman of the era. Infact bradman always said Barry Richards was the best batsman he have ever seen.
