Was Imran Khan and Hadlee not the better option for Kapil Dev?
==============
While all 4 of the 80s allrounders were outstanding players, for me Kapil was by far the weakest (aside from botham after his back went).
Imran was a fantastic bowler who could score graceful and powerful centuries, and hadlee was simply one of the best bowlers of all time.

mychest, my point is aus is familiar conditions to england players. the way indian players score runs in places like srilanka, india, and pakistan, is the same way england or most of the players in the world do. aus pitches and sa pictches are similar to english pitches. u have to agree on that fact.

No I don't.
Because they are not.
The nature of the pitches is determined largely by the weather. The idea that aussie or Saffer weather is more like mild, wet, cloudy England than hot dry subcontinent is nuts.
The only test playing nation with a climate close to England's, and therefore similar pitches is New Zealand.
