Australia men v Australia women as to who can finish off their opposition quickest for an innings win
This post could not possibly be any more Aussie than it already is.
Didn't you guys lose to Sri Lanka? Like... Twice?

I don’t reckon they have quite the same depth in the bowling departmen
oof
maybe not from the early 90s
but beyond that? The four they have now are unlikely to make the 2nd XI and they are brilliant.
Even spin, i mean Warnie walks in. Nathan Lyon has 539 wickets.
Stuart MacGill has 200+ wickets at less than 30 as the forgotten leg spinner who only played when Warnie got himself suspended. And that's before black and white dudes like Richie Benaud.i think if you start listing them out the list will start stretching fast than you think.
Add in the great Caversham export Clarrie Grimmett as well as Bill 'Tiger' O'Reilly from those black and white dudes.
Grimmets stats are that good, I suspect if he was born in Aus he is talked about more.
Will remove tinfoil hat now lol

Honestly ever since I made that post about Smith being past it and his technique being found out he's just piled on the runs. Regret saying anything now.
He’d have over 12,000 runs if he wasn’t such a cheating Aussie fuckwit
( doing a @Virgil post since he’s not here much anymore )
Cheating crying fluffybunny…
Interesting article on cricinfo
He may be the last to go past 10,000 runs for a while
Next closest is our GOAT Kane who’s 750 odd short but we have fuck all tests scheduled this year.
Then there’s Kohli who’s about the same amount of runs short. But given all bowlers only need to toss the ball around 4th or 5th stump these days to embarrass him he may be on limited time.. and he has 5 tests in England too look ‘forward’ to
Behind then are a couple of guys 2,000 runs away who won’t be around that much longerWe need to petition NZ cricket to arrange a 5 test series at home vs Zimbabwe to make sure Kane gets there before he calls it a day

Yeah due to schedule and the fact he is human and will have the odd fuck up the last 750 may take awhile.
In news that will surprise absolutely no one Ricky Ponting reckons Smith is the best of the bunch
Is Steve Smith the greatest of his generation? Ricky Ponting weighs in 'Fab-Four' debate
Ricky Ponting has weighed in on the 'Fab Four' debate, making a strong case for Steve Smith as the greatest batter of his generation. Find out what makes Smith stand out!

@antipodean I mostly agree.
There are some (Sobers) who would be up there - but Kallis has to be in the GOAT conversation.
-
Kallis was one of the best batsmen in history.
Plus as a bowler probably about as good as Chris Martin. That adds up to a true generational cricketer. The only all rounders who compare are Sobers and perhaps Imran Khan. Maybe Kallis suffers a bit by being a bit "boring" compared to Lara, Tendulkar, Ponting etc ?
But at the risk of being boring myself and repeating what I've said already the greatest cricketer ever was Don Bradman.
I think for Kallis to be genuinely compared to him he'd need to take a ridiculous 400 odd wickets at under 25.
Then again, Bradman was never much of a bowler so I guess that argument can possibly be made

Greatest and best are not the same
