Always competitive but still didn't win a tremendous amount. Much more talented players though in comparison to Bangladesh. Andy and Grant Flower, Heath Streak, Alistair Campbell, Neil Johnson, Henry Olonga, Guy Whittall could all play with the best at times, esp. Andy Flower. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

I can tell you as an Aussie that Zimbabwe have only ever beaten us twice. Once was in the world cup in '75 I believe (maybe 79) when we first played them and we lost (60 over game). The second time was at the 2020 world cup, although anything can really happen in those games. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

Perhaps, in my opinion, the issue with Bangladesh has had to do with the quality of the individuals in their side. If you looked at Bangladesh back when it was given test status there weren't really any players who stood out and could be heralded as world class players. If one looks at Kenya however, a team which could have been given test status ahead of Bangladesh, then you would have seen players like Maurice Odumbe, Steve Tikolo and Kennedy Otieno stand out. Just like now with the Netherlands they have Essex all rounder Ryan ten Doeschate. Bangladesh never really had a player or two who just stood out so far that he could be seen as a world class player. Since inclusion into test cricket they still really haven't found a genuine world beater, at least not a consistent one. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

Yer mate, he's been around since 1980 I believe. Obviously it got bad towards the end of the 90s and early 00s, especially when white farmers were expelled from their lands and what not. Bad stuff over there in Zimbabwe, a lot of political, economic and now health problems for a long while. I hope Zimbabwe mends itself and then when ready they can play tests again - they earned the right, now they deserve to be given a chance when the time is right by world cricket.

Andy Flower is the best ever Zimbabwean cricket and one of the best batsman/keepers.

Unlike say Boucher, Healy, Gilchrist or Parore, etc who always kept in tests.

I reckon Sri Lanka were a pretty balanced team as well, they had a hell of a lot of success. South Africa were always neck to neck with Australia at the end of the 90s, and they were fantastic when they first got international status back as well, great fielding played a huge part in their success. I dare say that Pakistan had a might well balanced side, good opener (e.g. Anwar), good middle order batsmen (e.g. Miandad til 96, Inzy), good keepers (Latif and Moin) and the best pace attack + throw in the spin combo of Saqlain and Mushtaq Ahmed. Australia had a nice rounded side too, Mark Waugh (one of the best ODI openers), Michael Bevan, Stephen Waugh + a bowling attack of McGrath, Warne and Fleming. Not so shabby either!? I miss those days, some fantastic players. I ask you guys to look up on youtube "Gilchrist getting out to Wasim" in the opening part of the 99 WC. That's what I call fast bowling. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

That was really fantastic. Wasim was superb in that game I remember. Pak,Ause and SAF were undoubtedly the three teams to watch in the 90s.
Australia was damn good but that started happening in mid-late 90s. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

Australia was never a top ODI til the end of the 90s, I'll definitely concede that fact. We were certainly beatable. Sri Lanka was very, very innovative and they had a lot of success and India played a hell of a lot of ODI cricket too, but without Sachin they were nothing. SAF had about 4 or 5 all rounders in their side and batted til about 10 and had about 7 bowling options + brilliant fielders. AUS had great balance, and it wasn't until they got rid of Taylor and Healy til they really blossomed. PAK always had great balance, batting was not a massive strength but their bowling was out of this world. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

Agree completely. England in the 90s was the most rubbish side. even the Zimbabwe were better. India was just average. batsmen those days used to average much les than what they do today. Only greats in those days would average 50plus in tests or 40 plu sin ODIs. But with quality bowlers fadig quickly, these stats about the modern day basmen dont tell the true story. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

Yer, you can't even compare stats from now with the 90s. Steve Waugh averaged 32 and made 3 tons in 300 odd games, but he was always considered good enough. England was a bit of a sham in ODIs, although they won in 92. NZ was always competitive, guys like Chris Harris, Chris Cairns, and the like always did well. Zimbabwe was a very, very athletic side, with a great fielding unit and it made up for its somewhat average talent with effort and a strong lower order. Although they never once beat Australia in the 90s. Windies weren't too flash either, probably in the same category as England. The 90s were dominated by Pakistan, SAF, Aust, SL and India in ODIs... but Australia and Pakistan were always the best to watch in my opinion. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

Been in three finals matey ! '92 hurts because England were the best

nothing against England in the round robin stage. Bloody rain..... ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Yes true that. England were the better side then. But I guess even then they lacked the spark. Miandad's wicket was crucial. Pakistan were on 5 points after 6 matches and certainly did not deserve to be in the finals, but that one point in the match against england where we were all out for 74, counted inthe end. Aussies also helped us a great deal by beating Windies.
I was watching highlights of the 92 WC match between Aus and Pak. There were 3 horrible run out decisions in that match. Por Inzi was miles home when umpire judged himout. Glad that we have 3rd umpires now. ------------- http://thecricketinsight.blogspot.com/ |

No sympathy whatsoever for the South Africans in that semifinal. They only sent down 45 overs in their allotted time - Wessels had no answer to Hick and Fairbrother and just used the rules to suit his team. The rain was divine intervention !

Well, since then, we have had 3 top all rounders in Kallis, Pollock and Flintoff. Shame Kallis doesn't show more interest in "fast" bowling anymore and focusing more on his batting. Freddie is healing as much as playing and Pollock, well, since he dropped his pace, he's been less effective but still 3 top class all rounders. Everyone has a moment in their career when their brilliance fades. Lara played with the same brutality through out his career but his ODI form was poor in his last few years. Tendulkar doesn't beat ball with as much disdain as he use to. Viv Richards and Clive Lloyd didn't average as much in their older days. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

Pollock was a good all rounder, but nowhere near as good as Kallis. Kallis would have been a better all rounder had he played less cricket. Too much cricket takes a big toll on these all rounders. Botham had something like 25 5-fors, Flintoff has about 3. Botham also scored about 14 or 15 tons, and Flintoff has about 3 or 4. I don't like to look into stats too much, but Botham was certainly more of a match-winner. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

True. What Freddie gives you is very good too. Sheer consistancy with the ball so you know you have one bowler who will take his 3 odd wickets per game with good economy rate. Pollock was fine player. I remember him coming at 3 against Pakistan couple years ago and scoring 80 odd not out. That innings had shots of a top class batsman. Still, Kallis is the best of the lot for me. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

Flintoff is an all round package, and he has this match winning aura about him. The fact he doesn't have a lot of tons has to do with the fact that he doesn't convert a lot of his 50s, he has almost 30 half centuries + he had a relatively poor start to his career. Flintoff will always be considered one of the best all rounders of this era. Very dangerous player. Players these days don't get a hell of a lot of 5-fors as players did in the past, except for Murali. Guys like Hadlee and Imran Khan got so many of them. Just depends on who else is in your attack and the conditions I guess. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

True. A lot of flat decks around so bowlers will suffer a bit. Batsmen are more aggressive too so economy rates will suffer a bit. Just mean more chances of a wicket is there but it won't help much with flat, lifeless pitches around. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

Spot on milkman. All those greats were bowling in an era when we used to find lively pitches everywhere(atleast equal battle btn bat and ball ).These days it's highly favoured to batsman.Earlier a Six used to be a treat and rarity, but these days its common. Earlier no team used to bowl bouncers to tailenders to get them out , yorkers would have done the job. It not like that now, some tailenders can even dish out pull or hook shot for a six. All those great of yesteryears[Botham,Kapil,Imran,Lille,Thompson,Hadlee,WI quartlet and many more] bowled to batsman with lesser protective gear,heavier bats on lively pitches.
These days with advanced equipments , lighter bats , video analysis tools, improvised cheeky shots and high competation even for bowler's with batting ability has made current day bowler look average.
Whenever a lively pitch is given and eveyone gets out soon the blame is put squarly on the groundsman that it was a dangerous pitch.
The biggest proof is the just see the average scoring after 1996 onwards.Also there has been so many 300+ scores in ODI's post Year 2000. ------------- Race to No 1 again ... started! |

Quite true. People always say that Bradman had it easier because bowlers weren't as quick in his time. I beg to differ about the quickness of the bowlers, but either way the pitches back then were uncovered and did so much for the bowlers. Furthermore, he had next to no protective equipment - no helmet and useless pads/gloves. The bats back then were nothing like they are now and there were no ropes, a six was literally over the fence while a four had to go to the fence. Cricket has changed so much, even in the last decade that it's impossible to compare eras. ------------- Ideal cricketer: Bowl like Warne, bat like Tendulkar, field like Jonty!! |

I'd like to see Flintoff used more sparingly this summer. In 2005
Vaughan overbowled him and I thought that led directly to all his ankle
problems. He'll always give his all , but he needs to be managed better
and I hope Strauss and Flower see it the same way. He's not getting any younger either. I want to see three or four spells of 5 overs rather than 14 straight for an entire session. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Watching England these days, and that i puzzled if the other team might boast eleven such hapless and hopeless people in their limited-overs team. The method we have a tendency to stagnate when the sector is up, and fruitlessly chase the sport with the tail when it's already gone. The method we have a tendency to choose bit-part players, like Nixon, whose inclusion has been justified as a result of he's an honest sledger. I wasn't even embarassed with today's defeat, I merely found the full issue to be an endless string of snickers.
