Of course Headley was better. He was the Black Bradman ffs. Once you go black you can't go back.

Despite Sir Garry's status as the greatest pre-Kallisball allrounder, he is never in the sporting GOAT discussions with the likes of Pele, Bolt, Nicklaus, Federer, Jordan etc., while Bradman is often mentioned as a contender.

During his heyday, Sobers was bracketed with Ali and Pele in the same GOAT discussions. Perhaps because they were contemporaries, but more so because they went beyond their boundaries - a crucial criteria for attaining greatness.

This is so deep. Can't fathom if it is funny or contemplative.Gotta think this thru .....

Or Bradman was the white Headley?

True.

I thought the same, but I didn't say.. Because Maradona is the True GOAT imo.
Anyway those comparisons were before his emergence.

Gavaskar is Modern Bradman.
New is better.

 

[the big bambino]

Dhawan better still. Newer.

Either way Black is the better.

 

[GotSpin]

This thread, predictably, has turned into garbage

Glad watson isn't around anymore to offer his hot take on this one.

 

[the big bambino]

Poor old Watson. Some other loser is racist and Watson gets called out

Interesting that your football opinions are as misguided as your cricket ones.

Hey Pap Finn Keighl, what's your opinion on Bo Jackson?

What happened?

 

[the big bambino]

Probably just unfortunate phrasing in post 90.

 

[stephen]

I mistook what you said and thought Watson got banned due to someone else being racist. But I understand now.

At least, Maradona is the most popular choice of GOAT by a distance.
And he is not from a country of Billion people.
