SRT the energizer bunny

^ dont you realize? The west indies team of that age were a better fielding side than the current australian team... Also, viv was analysed as much as sachin(even tho technology was non existant) PS - :hysterical:

1. Speedguns back then were nowhere as accurate enough to form a clear idea on speeds 2. If in an era with Malcolm Marshall, Imran Khan and Patrick Patterson at their peaks shows 'fastest delivery' to be 140kmph, i seriously question the validity of such 'findings'. these three gents were at their fastest in the 80s and easily in the 95+mph range on a consistent basis. Plus add in the fact that pitches in the 80s were harder to bat on.

umm no... They were never 95mph .... See for yourself: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPDW7hj1yfs]YouTube - World's Fastest Bowler Competition - 1979[/ame] Their actions were not as great as some of the actions on display today. Also one can argue the quality of spin bowling in the viv era was fodder for most batsmen especially since most games were played on spin friendly wickets. I wouldn't say Viv is better than SRT. I dunno I feel the fact that Viv was surrounded by such a strong team made it a touch easier, kinda like how Ponting has it now.
