Pakistan v England

I remember first seeing him on the box in 1976, fucking awesome

[Randall]

bowlers were intimidated by him in a similar way to boxers with tyson.

would have loved to see him face the windies attack at test level.

have seen marshall and holding bowl to him at county level.

[M H]

Thing with the Windies era was they had four brutal bowlers constantly pounding the batters, no respite whatsoever

[Randall]

i hear talk of the aussie team of the last decade or so being better, i rate their chances very low against the four horsemen.

[M H]

The Aussies were good mate, no doubt. However, the Windies attack would have taken them out. It was all about constant pressure and they applied it without mercy

[Randall]

would depend somewhat if they were playing 70s rules where intimidation was allowed.

[M H]

Even with only one bouncer an over this lot would have been effective in my opinion. They were fast as fuck and deadly accurate

[Randall]

ambrose or garner? no room for both in the side surely?

[M H]

Either way they had more than enough in reserve to cover injury. The Windies from 76 to the 90's were the best team I've ever seen

All bowling about 100 mph, bugger that for a game of soldiers!

[Randall]

[Randall]

20% of them against the best team of his generation the aussies says it all.

england get it done, largely due to the bowlers.
