post 90s
How? He never had to face Malcolm Marshall, Denis LIllee or Imran Khan?
Because his era was a weak one. If Viv played in Sobers era most people would rate Viv ahead of Sobers.
Yah but Lillee is green here. Lillee prime was 77-81
Thought Younis and Javed would be the other way round. Hutton over Viv is cool.
strange way to spell wrong
Nah Lillee was pretty ferocious in those early years.
Waugh over Sanga is interesting but not outrageous
Would maybe put Miandad down a couple on another day. Miandad-Barrington area is tight. Even Harvey could be same tier.
But he did face the likes of : Trueman, Davidson, Statham, and spinners like Lock and Benaud etc. Might've been an easier era overall but it couldn't have been that easy playing with the bats they did, the protection they used etc.
Dude stop the bs. Now we're using the excuse of England losing people during ww2 to belittle Bradman? Ha. In cricket without exception and under varying circumstances, batsmen are in the 50 to 60 range. That includes several batsmen who were contemporaries of the Don.
Not saying he didn't faced good bowlers. Just that Gavaskar faced better bowlers.
But you have to put facts and statistics in perspective. Almost 400,000 British cricket playing aged males died in WW2 compared to 40,000 Australians. If you don’t understand what impact that has on a nation’s ability to field a sporting team then there is nothing I can do to help you. Should we judge the Ukrainian football team on their capabilities now?
Don’t be silly. If you didn’t bat in the 70s/80s/90s you batted on roads against **** bowlers
??????
Huh? What does war deaths have to do with anything? Were those 400k cricketers? As a matter of fact apart from Verity no notable cricketers died during the 2nd world war. This is grasping at straws or trolling if I ever saw it. And fun fact, WW2 last I checked was from 1939 to 1945. The Don did most of his damage before the war even broke out.
That's fair.
