Tendulkar and Ponting (assuming you dont rate Kallis)
Never knew about Kallis, he was ok I suppose but he is an all rounder though

Everything wrong with modern cricket this game, going to end up 418 plays 350 odd with about 40 6s.
Played on a smallish ground with boundaries brought in, a pitch that has no pace, bounce or movement, not a single ball gone off the straight all day
Someone tell me theyre loving this runfest?
Give me 250 plays 250 on a big old ground with a deck that does a bit for everyone and theres a proper balance between bat and ball

I was gonna say Warne but thought that was pushing it a bit too far

I'm gonna plug another of my blog pieces as it seems rather relevant with this game in mind:

am sure I read it before but couldnt argue with a word of it
no surprise recently we were bemoaning the lack of batting technique in the tests either!

Stunning effort from Wood considering whats going on around him, just goes to show real pace always worth having! Hetmeyer proved where his brains reside too lol, out for 6 second ball!!!!!

Glad to see back of Gayle as West Indies were well ahead of the chase. Decent stumping to get rid of Holder. If Rashid can keep it tight and push that rate up we should be ok

Exciting watch, got the crowd going, but as a purist it was sad. Who wants to bowl and get carted around the small pitch? No thanks! Miss hits travelling 65 yards and still going for 6.

Me and the missus thoroughly enjoyed the game last night.

As a one off prolonged T20 type bash to all parts it was entertaining viewing. However for me, this isn't what the 50 over game is about and there has to be more for the bowlers in pitches, especially when bowling to small boundaries. Some great power hitting from both sides though and on to the fifth and final game

I enjoyed it. I watch Test cricket for a balance between bat and ball, in LO cricket I want entertainment and that's what we got last night. Was fantastic seeing Gayle at his fluent best, he really is a monster hitter of a cricket ball and makes it look so easy, I hope he sticks around International cricket for a while longer. Buttler the star of the show though, after starting at a steady pace, once he got to 50 he unleashed making 100 in 31 balls, it was magnificent, brutal hitting. Shout out to Eoin Morgan as well who made quite possibly the most unheralded hundred of all time.

wants to be careful he doesnt bat himself out of the world cup side, every time he gets bowled he looks less an opener, he wouldnt want to see Hales fill his boots thats for sure
nice to see a bit of bounce in the pitch
