Welcome to the Test Cricket Decades Draft Round 1 match up. The two teams will be assessed based on a 3 match test series on the surfaces mentioned below. Only the test performances of the said players will be used for evaluation, no other format has any weight in the match up. The surfaces are:
1. Flat batting pitch with little help for any bowlers.
2. A greentop that aids pace bowling.
3. A slow dustbowl that aids spin bowling.
Please vote for the team that you think will prevail at the end of the series.
Team Indnyc
A very strong top order with decent depth in batting.
Bowling is led by the fearsome pace duo of Willis and Larwood. Lance Gibbs is the spin option with both Ted McDonald and Denis Atkinson are great pace bowlers in their own right.
Team Mani
Write up
Batting opens with S.Gavasakar / M.Hayden(With Superior technique of S.Gavaskar and flamboyant batting of M.Hayden) I got the best opening combo out of the two team and are in the best position to see through the new ball attack which means my one down batsmen is not exposed to new ball early in the game.
R.Kanhai - Plays the specialist position No.3,R.Kanhai can play it to perfection with is strong technics.
A.Kippax/Sir Frank Worrell-All three very good batsmen of both pace and spin bowling and their records speak for themselves.All three are good enough for long innings.
LMO-(J.Bairstow /W.Akram) Wicket keeping batsmen and bowling allrounder who are more than capable enough to score more than few runs and their record speak for themselves.
Bowling wins test matches,with superior bowling and combination of attack spearheaded by
Wasim Akram , A.Roberts and Sir Alec Bedser, All 3 premium strike bowler which much variety I got better chance to win this 3 match series Plus I got support from Sir Frank Worrell who used to open bowling for Windies.
Spin - Saqlain Mushtaq Tricky customers who can bowl with at most accuracy at any kind of Wicket who is more than just the off spinner with much variety to his bowling.
Sir Frank Worrell as Captain, No better man to utilise his resources better that Sir Frank Worrell.
Sir Frank was a man of strong convictions, a brave man, and it goes without saying, a great cricketer. Though he made his name as a player his greatest contribution was to destroy for ever the myth that a coloured cricketer was not fit to lead a team. Once appointed, he ended the cliques and rivalries between the players of various islands to weld together a team which in the space of five years became the champions of the world
