Javed Miandad vs Ravindra Jadeja

[PlayerComparisons]

Two Asian beasts

 

[kyear2]

The ATG batsman who never averaged below 50.

Miandad. Jadeja hasn't played enough.

Miandad's longevity is underrated. Played 124 out of the 133 Tests Pakistan played over a career that lasted more than 17 years.

Javed was a pain in the arse to remove from the crease. A ****ing good player.

Very good at farming strike when batting with the tail too. Home/away split means I still rate him lower than Border. He makes my top 20 bats every day of the week though.

Lol poll is actually close

Jadeja with 68 tests as a modern criciekter can't overtake established legends. Let him play a few years longer and get closer to 100.

How is this even a discussion?

Miandad obviously

This all rounder fetish is getting ridiculous.

Jadeja is a fine cricketer

He's also a backup spinner and a 7 bat.

Agreed. On the other thread, Miller steamrolled Gilly. Wasnt even a contest.

CW does seem to overrate active players (Ashwin, Jadeja, Root etc)

I could be wrong, but done think that's the issue this time around

Jadeja easily. Jadeja vs Imran would be closer .

Can someone explain why?

Jadeja's more impactful as a bowler than Miandad is a batter, and then batting-wise he's also 2/3 of what Miandad is.

Except he is not and he is not.

Miandad was an allround bat of Dravid class with twice the career of Jadeja who played 2/3rds at home and is less than half the player outside home.

I think Imran probably wins that for his captaincy. Jadeja is the better fielder tho which makes it close.

It's not a contest. In home record alone, which is mostly all Jadeja has, Imran is still superior.
