Michael Hussey Vs Kumar Sangakkara

[cricfan077]

i like to compare these two legends. Both these two players, play well in all three formats.
so who is better?

 

[Athlai]

Sanga is comfortably better in Tests IMO.

Though I see you mention limited overs too and Huss is hard to top on that form of the game.

hahahhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[hang on]

sangakkara in tests. hussey in odis and the other benighted version of the game.

Michael Hussey.

It's harder to compare the two in ODIs than is being made out. Remember that Sanga bats up the order and keeps wicket.

(And yes, as Test cricketers, Sangakkara is comfortably ahead)

I don't follow ODIs a lot; Sanga is the better test player by a distnict but not enormous margin.

This.

I think Hussey is a better player.

Reasons being-
(a) Consistency
(b) Ability to bat at in position in the order
(c) Performance

Although Sangakkara has had the pressure of captaincy and keeping on his shoulders, he plays in a line-up where his performances become distinctly differentiable on the basis of the lack of performance of his teammates on some occasions. For Hussey however, to shine in the august company of great stars is a big achievement in my books.

Hussey definitely the better LO format player.

Had this been done about 3-4 years back then Mr Cricket it would have been. But I think Hussey has been going downhill over time. Sanga the better test match player

that downhill has had a steep upward slope in the near past though.

 

[smash84]

somewhat true but he needs to maintain this upward slope for at least his downtime in order to compete with Sanga

 

[hang on]

that would end up with his having a career average in the mid 60s!

I really need to lighten up. It actually angers me that people have these ridiculous opinions. That can't be healthy.

 

[smash84]

what can't be healthy?

To get so fired up over people holding what I believe to be stupid opinions can't be good for my blood pressure, my general piece of mind or my ability to interact with others, surely.

Feed the fire!

Ya, I believe Don Bradman is woefully overrated too. A bit of a flat-track hack, tbh. Never played against quality bowlers and was so afraid of playing on a spicy deck that he demoted himself in the order.

PEWS, can you please shed some light on why such a FTB is rated so highly?

Also wildly overrated:
