Greg Chappell Vs Rahul Dravid - who was the better test match batsman?

[Burgey]

Is there any fuel I can pour on this fire?

Yeah. It’s you who said Dizzy is better than Waqar Younis or something isn’t it?

Make a post how Dravid wouldn’t have played Shield if he’d been Australian, because of the batting talent ahead of him at that time.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

We're actually 3 decades ahead

Good to see you're admitting India's leading the world backwards

No Australian batsman in the last 100 years would have cracked the Indian side on account of your genetically weak colons tbh

 

[Second Spitter]

Stuart Law.

Spot the bloke who’s proud that his team is literally full of ****.

Michael Bevan would have been India’s best test batsman ever, as he played the short ball better than any Indian ever has or ever will.

Can't score runs if you're constantly having the runs mate. Bradman wouldn't have even made the Rajkot Fifth XI

tbh Bradman would’ve averaged 200 in Indian “first class” whilst shitting all over the pitch.

Isn't that common practice in India?

 

[jimmy101]

Nah, but taking a slash down the leg side is fairly common.

 

[Daemon]

I've heard it's how they celebrate test victories in England

This is an extremely high quality discussion - in stark contrast to the low quality stuff that one often finds on lesser sites like cricinfo. CricketWeb is the best!

I blame ***** and Burgey.

I'm happy the first couple of pages stuck to the topic.

Looks like Michael Bevan has a better bowling average in tests than Warne, Dizzy and Lee. If he had focussed more on his primary skill, he would have been a sure shot ATG.

Bevan was a pretty decent spinner

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Almost Keith Arthurton-like

He was actually genuinely quick when he was in his late teens, but started bowling spin when his back went.

So weird how he played decently against attacks like Pakistan when he debuted and WI with Ambrose and Walsh, yet always struggled against the dross of Gough and Caddick.

 

[mr_mister]

Yeah. Probably means he deserved more chances post 97
