Ken Rutherford, half as talented as Gambhir.

Not even half

To be fair was pretty good in 92 WC a perfect foil to Crowe in the middle order

For sure he played some good knocks, but overall he seriously disappointed and under performed as both a test and ODI batsman.
The biggest problem was that so much was expected of him after starting out so young and producing all these great domestic results.

Extremely talented. If Ken Rutherford had had the grit and luck of Henry Nicholls you'd have a world class batsman.

Greatbatchs '92 WC gets talked about nowhere near as much as it should.

Is the only reason Jayasuriya and Kalu get the "revolutionised white ball cricket" treatment because SL went on to win the tournament? Greatbatch batted the exact same way 4 years earlier

Uh oh now you've gone and done it

His making Deepak Patel opening bowler, and Mark Greatbach an opener was a master piece that i can remember from the top of my head, many captains took a leaf out of his book to make strategies during 90s.

Saying that he "invented" pinch-hitting openers is a stretch: Botham opened for England several times in 1983 (and I bet it'd been tried before that). He even did so in the 1992 World Cup before Greatbatch (though without much success).

What's funny is that Greatbatch scored more runs in the 92 cup than Kalu and Jayasuriya combined in the 96 cup, playing just as recklessly

Make me understand migara

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Kalu was absolute dogshit

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Dipak Patel in 92 got more wickets at a better average and ER as an opening bowler than Murali did in 96 bowling on bunsens.

Somebody do it

Somebody do it

Do what? Dipak vs Kallis?

I'm sure he can sniff out mentions of Murali.
