Nice to see Zaid get a mention...he was very very quick in 1997.

He was right to pick Lara over Sachin...Lara won more matches thru his brilliance.

A great cricketer "Cool Russel" was one of my all time 'number 6' in any one day side!. A great contributin to the great game by a great player. Thanks to Cricket Crowd and Russel Arnold for this great video.

He appears to have had a love-hate relationship with Murali

What, how can Lara be better than Sachin. No way. Look at Sachin's record, and longevity over 20 years
2009-04-20 00:00:00
Arnold picked Wasim Akram as his best fast bowler...and his comments on "super quick" Mohammed Zaid is interesting.

Great interview....yes, Arnold is calm and collected even in this interview...always liked his under-stated style.
