Javed Miandad vs Jacques Kallis

[PlayerComparisons]

Two underrated ATG batsmen

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I wouldn't call either of them underrated.

 

[trundler]

Miandad an HTB relatively but won matches

 

[BazBall21]

Javed averaged slightly more than Kallis in Tests with a below average runs per wicket

 

[Socerer 01]

how the **** is Kallis underrated? this is the only place that thinks he’s a scrub, everyone else thinks he’s one of the greatest cricketers to exist

Because Sir Garry exists?

Because Sir Garry exists?

no shame in being not as good as a legend

 

[ataraxia]

I have to say, this is not a very balanced comparison hey.

Will Miandad get a pity vote from anyone?

Interesting, what do they average?

Courtosy of
Miandad 36.60
Kallis 34.83

About what you'd expect for Javed, disappointing return for Kallis.

How does Miandad fare compared to Border?

How does Miandad fare compared to Border?

38.61 for Border. He pulled away a bit when comparing their Tests in a RPW of sub-35, but still competitive.

How many times was Kallis given out LBW in South Africa?

 

[StephenZA]

How many times was Kallis given out LBW in South Africa?

In the highveld, hardly ever but that is because of the bounce. At the coast many times...

 

[trundler]

Imagine how much better Kallis would've been if he had guys like Mudassar Nazar and Mohsin Khan playing ahead of him instead of scrubs such as Kirsten, Gibbs and Cullinan.

 

[ataraxia]

Mudassar Nazar and Mohsin Khan

These two really aren't bad are they – Pakistan has some surplus of decent batters across time really. Like, say, Faisal Iqbal.

I'd take this if it meant the lbw and ball tampering laws only applied to the opposition.
