Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

[reyrey]

Yeah, but I still think the no. of decisions getting overturned in favor of batsmen isn't too few; and especially given that we are considering it solely on home, definitely not all lbws needed to be plum and the bowlers had an advantage for close calls. Probably umpires are more open for lbws now, but home umpires giving advantage to home bowlers should also be accounted for imo.

It has very little to do how many decisions are getting overturned. DRS/HE has just caused a shift in how the LBW rule is applied and "padding away". Umpires just give more LBWs to spinners now because they know if they don't DRS will overturn it.

Finger spinners get almost twice as many LBWs as a total percentage of their mode of wicket taking post DRS. It's went from roughly 11% to 21%

That's not opinion. That's fact.

Can you provide link of any article on study done regarding this?? Sounds interesting.

Is the DRS a good thing? Yes if you're a fingerspinner, no if you're a left-hand batsman

How have batsmen and bowlers gained and lost under the various eras of the lbw law?

Even before this study many retired spinners had said they would have been better bowlers and taken more wickets in the DRS era.

Migara's India favorites

Navjot Singh Sidhu - best player of spin he has seen
Javagal Srinath - fastest asian bowler he has seen, even above Shoaib
Venkatapathy Raju - best left armer he has seen

Factually incorrect but appreciate the effort.

Sorry, but a poster who indulges in racism and lying about reality doesn't deserve hugs and kisses. Especially when you haven't apologized for being that way.

Please, kindly **** off and let the rest of us post in peace.

any examples of said racism? i do not read CC threads much but i would love to get him banned

His post about "south Indian" when discussing Ashwin, I guess, is the latest example.

Couldn't tell the difference. Hence my thought that its a multi.

Contributed to 2 test series wins in aus

You sound like a ****ing idiot. Go have a mental enema somewhere else. Maybe in a bathroom labelled 'intellectual midgets"

Sehwag averages 50 in aus, was part of our draw series in Aus. Not an insult to compare Ashwin to him.
Don't get your panties in a twist.

 

[CodeOfWisden]

It's a **** statement, hardly reflective of reality. We have no need for racist liars tbh. You can kindly **** off.

Dont give a rats behind about how you feel and if you or your model town gang of 5 needs me, I will still be there to cut your delusional journey short.
The post I made was logically right and the remark I made was apt when you see the reaction I got, there's nothing racist in what I said, shake off your inferiority complex.

BTW, Kuldeep and Jadeja might start ahead of the greatest Indian cricketer in SCG and MCG.

Well what is he Irish?
You insane or what?
Just like how the brits like to Gel Andy Murray with fab 3 , "South Indians" tend to overrate Ashwin.
The former is a completely acceptable statement but the latter isn't, the racism is all in your head.

 

[CodeOfWisden]

Everytime Ashwin's name comes up these guys start getting a collective orgasm not to be disturbed by any logical retort, calling him the greatest Indian cricketer is wrong, that title goes to Stalwarts who fought and performed overseas more so than him and werent considered dispensable under any conditions. The fact that literally no onw chooses the Greatest Indian cricketer in an all time eleven shows the delusion.

It's a racist response dickhead, get your head out of your ass and actually recognize that you had no business posting that way. If you don't want to be called a racist, don't make racist and stupid assumptions all the time.

You just gave an idiotic reaction to a simple comment hurt by all the logical facts against someone you idolize, no need to exaggerate with "all the time", hardly posted anything here that can even be misconstrued as Racist.

It was an idiotic comment with no basis in reality, buddy. Am I supposed to treat stupidity like intelligence now?

The fact that every team specifically makes pitches to nullify him is a testament to his greatness. By doing so they make good Indian fast bowlers very good ones and lose tests against us anyway. Ashwin is one of the greatest Indian players of all time.

Like everyone is saying you are a ****ing moron

Ashwin definitely is one of the greatest Indian player of all time, just like Sehwag.

Believe me, no SENA team has to do any sort of extra work to nullify Ashwin.
Why would they nullify someone who might not even be in the starting eleven.
