Geoffrey Boycott vs Graeme Smith

[PlayerComparisons]

Two batsmen that weren’t great to watch

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Who told you Smith was not great to watch? Look at his strike rate!!!

I don't like Boycott at all, as a cricketer.

Why not?

Why not?

He's the only one out of the slow batsmen who has verifiable peer evidence of being perceived as selfish from multiple sources. The rest of even the slowest batsmen have generally favorable peer assessments as being good teammates.

And this is exactly the sort of thing where peer assessment can help illuminate the context of strike rates and batting speed, statistics which are generally devoid of it. Highlight footage too, can be illustrative, but not as broadly illuminating.

I’ve been checking this thread every day for the last year or so to see if he replied. Glad I don’t have to do that anymore.
