If you could watch 1 duel, who would it be between?
« 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

Kevin Pieterson vs Malcom Marshall/Michael Holding on a quick bouncy one somewhere in SA.


For comedy value

Michael Holding vs Chris Martin

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

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.

Anyone allowed to bowl back of a length and shorter at Bradman without him running off to whinge at administrators?
