Carnero Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 2 favourites that spring to my mind are Broad v Aus & Stokes long spell to win a test late on day 5 in SA, a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Datdo-Dishes Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 A couple from 1981...Bob Willis at Headingley (8 for 40 odd in the second innings) and Sir Ian Botham at Edgbaston (5 for 1). Great series that one! Anag Ram, AndyinLiverpool and Shipley Ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 The yardstick is surely Michael "whispering death" holding v England at the oval in 1976. 8-92 on a docile pitch, followed by a 6 in the 2nd innings. And the batsmen only wore caps.... Anag Ram, Hans Datdo-Dishes and cstand 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Think Freddy Flintoff working over Ponting has to rank up there as the best single over I've witnessed. Completely unplayable. Also Bob Willis terrorising the Ozzies at Headingly. He was like a man possessed that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I don’t think anybody compares to Flintoff when he was well and truly in his flow. People were raving about that Jimmy over against India last year but it was nowhere near Flintoff to Langer then Ponting or the following… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
