Todays 11 against an 11 from ****

(Ireallylikechristmas)

Don't be so harsh I'm sure it's not true all the time.....Darts comes to mind..

Genetically, how do you get to be two-fifths of anything?

Depending how many generations you go back, its halves, quarters, eighths, sixteenths, thirty seconds, sixty-forths etc.

COOK is a weaker cricketer than any you have seen Rabbit? Wow you can't have watched much cricket then!! In my humble opinion (and its all subjective i guess) he could become the highest run-scorer of all time, certainly as far as age and number of runs concerned he is well ahead of overtaking Tendulkar. And I don't think that Pieterson will be far behind (if he doesn't do one and throw in the towel early) No i have to disagree there are one or two MAJOR talents in the England side - but not many elsewhere, i agree!!

bantam.....what the bloody hell are you on about....and for that matter what the bloody hell are you on....???

"I think the current crop of cricketers world wide is a hell of a lot weaker then at any other point in time...

If you take 2 players from the top 6 nations and put them against 2 out of those same nations either 10, 20 or 30 years ago they would cop a belting...IMO"...

I am disagreeing and saying I think that Cook and Pieterson would disprove your theory. Am i missing something here? Or have you forgotten what you said?

2 English players for starters please.....'...

Ah that old chestnut....you will be saying Kepler Wessels was an Aussie next.!
Besides, you didn't stipulate they had to be died-in-the-wool Englishmen, just that they played for any of the Nations at present

Cook or Pieterson wouldn't of got a run in the great sides of yesteryear...be it England or Sth Africa..

Disagree. But as you say, its all a matter of opinion...

.......cheers.
