Title: If you could watch 1 duel, who would it be between?
Post by: Wide Chaser on November 07, 2012, 11:56:59 PM: Time and money no object... If you could watch any batsman Vs any bowler, who would it be and where? We were talking about this at our presentation night..... I've gone for Botham Vs Bret Lee at Trent Bridge as I've lived through them both and TB is my favourite ground

For comedy value

Michael Holding vs Chris Martin

Post by: Vantage_Cricket on November 08, 2012, 11:01:45 AM: I'd like to see Botham vs Flintoff (both in their prime) - both batting and bowling against each other, think that would be a good contest

Attritional Cricket at its best, on a road or on an uncovered moss bed?

Post by: Blazer on November 08, 2012, 11:33:49 AM: Viv vs Steyn or Sachin vs Thomson , Lillee gang. Interestingly Sachin was once turned down by Lillee at the MRF pace foundation where Sachin attended with the ambition to become a fast bowler.

Either! I just think it would be a great contest - and both Gladwin and Jackson were well capable of bowling very long spells indeed. Accurate enough to not be fazed by the left/right combo too.

Title: Re: If you could watch 1 duel, who would it be between?
Post by: RightArmRapid on November 08, 2012, 05:00:20 PM: Are they still the same mass but in different sizes? In which case the horse is extremely dense and wins. And vise versa if they earn the mass of the other. Too many variables to decide! :D
