The Ashes - Cook is a better batsman than Trescothick anyway, better technique and a superior opener?

The batting replacement isn't a worry. The slip-catching is.

It's a defensive approach by England. Not entirely surprising. The Gabba test first-up is always the most difficult one. It does make sense trying to save this test, instead of having an unrealistic attempt at winning it. Australians traditionally have been weak at Adelaide and Sydney - easier batting conditions and a little more of spin. England could go with the combination you suggested then.

Best is Wasim Akram......\nWorst is Shoaib Akhthar.....Because when the batsmen hits him for a boundary he starts throwing the ball on their body.

The reverse hook. Shane Warne plays it well. he's understands hookers quite well.\n\nSeriously, it's the on-drive-through-midwicket off a leg-spinner. Nobody can do it better than VVS Laxman.\n\nAnd stop astrixing your questions.

Comparison can be in different levels. As a player if we check the records, ganguly is not far from Sachin. His 10,000 is more faster than Sachin. Remember sachin has more not outs, so more average. Ganguly is the next batsman in the no of centuries, next to sachin. More over there was a time he scored more centuries(century/match) on an average. But when he stepped out from the opener role to accomodate shewag and sachin, his scoring rate went down.That doesnt mean he was not in form. Let Sachin come down from opening, i dont dare to tell that that will be the end of sachin. Even sachin knew that more than anybody. In this many centuries, if take how many are match winning ones? ONly two innings, that too very old in Sharajah..againist Australia. Apart from those innings sachin cannot one hand effort. He always fells short of his target(I mean India's Target, He always reaches his target, centuries) Take any example, u can see that. So how can he be a better player. He is technically good batsman. Thats all. Now as a captain, Ganguly is beyond comparison with Sachin. He is a good sports man who gave his opener role to another player, for the betterment of the team,but sachin was not ready. That shows he is always aiming in records. So considering all these points, including the things they have done to the mother land, Ganguly is more more better than Sachin, Time is not far, when these duplicate God's mask are going to be ripped.

I'd definately go with Sehwag. He was outstanding with the bat and ball. 180 & 3-33

Both are good. They can't be compared. One is Tennis player, the other is a Cricket player!

WE CANT RATE THEM BEST IN ANYONE OF THE BOTH VERSIONS.\nBOWLING ATTACK IS THE KEY IN BOTH.\nBUT WE LACK OF IT.\n\nODI SIDE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER THAN TEST SIDE.
