by exceeding expectations... expectations which are formed by the players' statistics.

Is Agarkar achieving double figures in a test v. Australia considered him giving 200% then?

Nope.. actually it has nothing to do with results. I can give an example.You usually expect a fast bowler to bowl 7 or 8 overs on the trot. Zaheer bowled like 15 overs on the trot in NZ. Great spell without luck. You just go the extra distance to help your team out. Pushing the limits irrespective of the results.

Flintoff is overrated. His only good series was 2005 Ashes. Even Balaji & Sami had one good series.

Are you serious??? or was that a joke? If serious jusr look his spell againt kallis...or his series in india...

[Sooda]

Is there also a case to be made for Botham being very lucky to have played a lot of his early cricket versus Packer depleted teams...? Of course the famous 81 series was vs a full strength Aus side

hahaha sorry !!!!! I was saying that even if in terms of numbers flintoff is not as good as botham flintoff is an exellent all rounder.... He gave 200% every time he played... His bowling was so eyepleasing to watch, even his batting was good...

++++ I can watch that Ashes 05 performance again and again and again.....Its just too good. Obviously the crowd makes it look better as well. It would have been fun if Flintoff played against India, when India last toured England in 07 or 08...
