Is Jacques Kallis the Most BoRing Cricketer in the History of Cricket?

[karan_fromthestands]

Actually, we are also getting confused between debating about the quality of the batsmen and whether the they were boring or not. Boring/not boring is extremely subjective.

Than Dravid? No, I do rate Kallis higher than Dravid

In general on here at least. How often is Kallis’ SR brought up in comparison to Dravid?

I am just talking about Dravid in isolation. He was great to watch, far from boring even when he wasn't scoring.

It implied it from the post you quoted which was about both players.

 

[Coronis]

Really there are two groups of players with low SR’s on here. Those who are criticised for it: Sutcliffe, Boycott, Barrington, Kallis etc. and those who are only brought up when people ask why don’t you penalise these guys too: Hutton, Gavaskar, Border, Dravid etc.

I'm had several lists, top 15s etc and none of them have included Dravid, and you're even asked about it.

False. You just have a victim complex.

Where on earth did I mention anything about you or your personal lists here? I very rarely see Dravid in anyone’s top 15 I wouldn’t bat an eyelid at it. That has nothing to do with his SR he’s just not a top 15 batsman..

Yeah nah mate, go and read some of the threads round here and get back to me.

Someone asked where was Dravid, Sutcliffe and someone else and I responded what did they have in common, and you made a remark referencing Hutton.

You’re kind of exactly proving my point (if you’re specifically excluding them for batting slowly) when Hutton did the exact same.

But whatever.

How I imagine all conversations between Coronis and trundler look.
