Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

Bradman hit six 6's in 53 tests and no 6's in 238 first class games. You'd have to move the boundary rope in about 50m before he could clear the rope. If you stuck him in a time machine and got him to face an over from Brett Lee he'd do worse than Piers Morgan. Maruma has hit 116 first class sixes....

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

If Bradman is in the equation then minefield uncovered pitches have to be too. Can’t see Travis Head bossing it on one of them with the ball spitting everywhere. I thought Bradman always played it along the floor anyway so he wouldn’t get caught, must have been looking to declare with those six tes...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

Our current team would get minced by Flower's team. Bear in mind 230 was a par score back then, but that was a good team. Our best bat in ODI's was probably Goodwin, but there wasn't much in it between him and Flower and Johnson. Goodwin would make our side today at his current age :lol: I don't thi...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

Another example is boxing. I was reading yesterday that boxing "aficionados" ranked Willie Pep's defensive skills ahead of Pernell Whitaker's. I mean that's a joke.
Same folk think Marciano would beat Frazier and Tyson- I mean they'd literally kill him inside of a round.

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team

1000% agree. It's like the Bradman die-hards- he wouldn't make a Div2 club side :lol: Every sport the players get bigger, stronger, faster, practice 3 times as much, get paid 100 times more and yet people think a player or team from 20-50 years ago would compete. They're in dream land. The only guys...

Re: State of SA

Ya that one game in particular he bowled very well. I'd heard that he was a good bat as well, but he was disappointing in that dept.
Problem is he looks like he'll become a dibbly dobbly type bowler, doesn't look like he'll develop gas. Hopefully I'm wrong.
