Everything was better before. The quality has come down so much. The way they used to catch the ball. The amazing athleticism. You only needed one fielder for cover and point. The fat guys like Stokes have ruined it all. Fighting and not using two hands and all that.
Bowlers used to swing it 90 degrees. And ofcourse batsmen were good enough to play those. Every team had these great bowlers, that deadly attack of Daryl Tuffey and Chris Cairns. Today's batmen would be playing with their edges even with their 5km bat sizes.
Batting is so easy now that even Nayan Mongia and Chris Martin (yes, the Coldplay singer) would average 70+. The pitches were so tough then, and if not for those brilliant batsmen, we would never have seen 400+ scores then. Not to forget, the bats were 5 mm thick. Totally unforgettable, miss those days man!
completely ignored the point I am making in this thread.
