How the **** did Warne and Lara pull as much as they did though
Warne is a proper bogan alpha. He would have massive appeal to glam bogan women.Warne was pure will. If you want ***** that badly, and chase after it enough, it will keep happening. He would have had a huge failure rate though.
Stevens is the living embodiment of everything wrong with the English gameSince the age of 35, From the start of the 2011 season, as an all-rounder Darren Stevens figures are mightily impressive.
6792 runs@35.74 H.S. 237, 13 cent, 37 fifties
423 wickets@22.72, Best 8-75, 5 wkts innings 26, 10 wkts match 1.
Makes you wonder what he could have done if he bowled in his younger days. Probably deserved a few one day games, considering the likes of Paul Franks, Alex Louden, Scott Borthwick, Stuart Meaker & Stephen Parry all got games.
And i saw his 8-75 v Leic At Canterbury in August 2017 out of a total of 350. Pure class.
One other all-rounder who i forgot to mention in my previous post who is forgotten is Maurice Tate.
Good enough to score 1198 runs@25.48 with a century and 155 wickets@26.16. Batted very low in the order for England, but for his county Sussex, usually batted in the top 4, over 20000 runs,sometimes even opening with Ted Bowley. Over 2500 first-class wickets as well.
Steyn is well behind a few, Marshall and McGrath at least. Then the likes of Hadlee, Imran, Wasim, Davidson etc are at least just about as good but much better with the bat. Steyn would be pushing for a 2nd XI ATG place maybe.It's true.
Still think Steyn is a must over Imran and tbh I am playing Sobers just as a batsman.
So not quite as all in on the all rounder wagon lol.
We can agree to disagree, he is firmly in my top 5. Imran, Davidson, Imran and Akram I don't think make my top 10.Steyn is well behind a few, Marshall and McGrath at least. Then the likes of Hadlee, Imran, Wasim, Davidson etc are at least just about as good but much better with the bat. Steyn would be pushing for a 2nd XI ATG place maybe.
And it still worksMy bowling attack would still be:
Wasim
Warne
Marshall
McGrath
this but less emphatically. Definitely for the best that he wasn't pushed to be a Test cricketer, probably would have been brutal.Stevens is the living embodiment of everything wrong with the English game
