Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
This thread has reminded me how remarkable Jimmy Anderson is. The fact he is still steaming in after 20 years is astounding, fast bowlers typically have the shortest shelf life of cricketers.

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
Before people started getting on the turps and claiming Maruma is superior to Bradman, the point of the original post was which scenario would you take? Where we were in 2004 or where we are now? To me, the answer is clear - 2004. We had BT, Taibu, Rainsford, Panyangara, and then Williams, Ervine, e...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
Jimmy Anderson is the one player who is still around now that was around 20 years ago - statistically he has got better over time. If a fast bowler can adapt to the current game at the age of 41 I'm pretty sure the greats of yesteryear could also.

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
Next people will be claiming that Innocent Kaia is better than Andy Flower.

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
Given the current team are less fit and worse fielders than 2004, let alone the 1990s, I'm not sure why people are so confident they'd wipe the floor with the greats of yesteryear.

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 guy...

Re: 2004 Team v 2024 Team
if we are talking ODI cricket, which I assume we are as we have only played like 2 Tests in the past 3 years and T20I didn't exist in 2004, - then there is absolutely no competition and the current 2024 side shits all over the 2004 one. Sorry, but they probably beat the 90's one as well. Cricket is...

James Cameron, a lost talent; Andrew Durham was another.

Re: State of SA
Just realized after reading an article on cricinfo that Rabada is the only black African selected in South Africa's squad for The T20 WC 2024! 5 other players of color are selected, so it's a total of 6 players all of whom will make the squad even on merit. Given that South Africa officially have t...
