Dave Warner in 100 years

[swingdog]

The boundaries back then were roughly the same size and just as quick. Because they're shortened now by a couple of metres, makes stuff all difference in the long run. Not every ground is the same. Players back then didn't dive or field anywhere near as well as today, so how do you calculate that in?

As for this whole bat scenario, nothing has changed. The top players always had the best bats. I don't remember ever coming across a good player that didn't have a great bat be it either 1985 or 2005. The difference between players from 1930 and 2010 is that humans in 2010 are a hell of a lot stronger and fitter, have better techniques and play a lot more cricket.

Take David Warner as he is now back to 1930 and he'll average 200. Take someone like Kallis or Tendulkar and they won't have an average.

What's next? How many runs will Warner score next year?

Dave Warner in a 100 years time will be another blip on the radar in all likelyhood.

Of the players currently in the side punter and hussey are the only ones who would be considered greats. Only punter would be considered for a spot in the 'greatest team of the last 200 years' although his last 2 years have sullied that potential as well, much as he is a legend.

there is potential (and I say potential only) for cummins and pattinson to, if they continue with bowling averages in the low to mid 20s, to be considered amongst the greats, but we know the path that so many fast bowlers have trodden, and so few have come out at the end as greats.

In the last 20 years for Aus only Gillespie and McGrath can be considered amongst the greats of aussie fast bowlers.

Yeah, the batsmen of today would struggle to hit the ball to square leg with the bats they used to have, they were like tooth picks.

Imagine Bradman with one of today's big bazookas which had a sweet spot the size of a pumpkin. He may have killed someone who fielded at short leg.

I literally laughed at this post

Warner will not be a blip.

i think his intention was if you took them back directly as they are now, and he is pretty much correct.

but you can't take them back as they are now, you can only judge them against their peers and the dominance each respective cricketer had (or didn't have).

this guy was a test bowler; the guy batting at the end a captain of england;

but they just play how they learnt and copies the style of others.

if mcgrath, or tendulkar, or kallis, or anyone was born back in the 1900's they wouldn't play like they did in the 2000's.... how could they?? they would have never seen anyone bowl or bat with anything remotely looking like the techniques they had.

Bradman got a double century at the Oval in 1934 off 240 balls. He didn't hit the ball in the air because he didn't need to.

he said Don would have only averaged 70.

Will they write songs about Dave Warner in the future?

no.

The only player to truly capture the imagination from Australia in recent years has been Warne.

Maybe one of cummins and pattinson might live out the expectations but I can't see any of the batsmen doing it.

Bump... Once again outscores every other player by like 300 %

Hi Slats.

Hope you didn't have too much trouble getting the stains out of your pants last night.....

Most likely be dead in 100 years.

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. Now excuse me, I have some drycleaning to pick up

 

[Sea fog]

Wankfest over Warner from Slats?

 

[1980GFVideo]

People calling for him to be made captain and now comparisons to Bradman??

I liked his rise from that T20 game years ago but sheeesh.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Would have been interesting to see how Warner dealt with Bodyline.

 

[swingdog]

It'll be interesting to see how Warner deals with Jimmy Anderson and Graeme Swann this northern summer.

Either that or extremely old.
