Mark Waugh vs Martin Crowe ?

[TheJediBrah]

Please don't anyone say Joe Root is a better player than Kevin Pietersen. It's a sick joke.

I always respect Root for being the one woman cricketer to attempt to play with the men, and keep up with them

It is time to create a thread with the list of 15 Indian batsmen and 30 Aussie batsmen better than Crowe.

Another thread where the answer is Jacques Kallis.

And ten Sydney grade forum posters better than @Bahnz.

Karun Nair too.

Stupid comparison considering Crowe would have averaged 55+ had he been born in Australia.

Wouldn't have been thrown into the deep end as a 19 Year old if born there, and loved playing on Australian decks.

 

[Zinzan]

@mrmister saw your vote, & with all your historical knowledge you do honestly consider MWaugh to be a better bat than Crowe? Or was that a pity vote?

 

[TheJediBrah]

JBMAC voted for Waugh and he played Test cricket so I guess the answer is definitively Waugh. Sorry Zinzan

Andrew Jones was better than 5 or 6 of those guys. Tendulkar, Gavaskar, Dravid, and perhaps Dravid were better than Crowe.

Thanks for your feedback. I shall refer this query to Wasim Akram.

 

[ankitj]

Mark Waugh on a spree of lost polls it seems.

 

[Burgey]

He's the new (old) Kallis

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Which 5?

Okay 4 of 2nd thoughts:
Ganguly, Viswanath, Kambli, Amanath

Just a pity vote. I know Crowe's better

mark waugh suffers from being a staple in a side with slightly better players, ponting, steve waugh and gilchrist were big dog but you never saw mark waugh and went "phew" you went "**** off ****."

 

[Johan]

have tough time figuring out if Crowe is underrated or overrated on this forum.
