Which was a greater Test bat, at their respective peaks?
I'm going Sanga.
I'm going Sanga.
Eh I’ll still give it to Ponting but Sanga’s peak numbers aren’t that dissimilar. Ponting had the fortune to jam more tests in his peak and was a bit less of a home bully in that time so I’ll give it to him.gtfo - peak punter is better than peak everyone by a long way except a few. Not just the rating but the aggression with which he batted.
I'll give Sanga that he maintained his peak longer, but that's because he heavily padded it with wanker runs.
What does it even means??gtfo - peak punter is better than peak everyone by a long way except a few. Not just the rating but the aggression with which he batted.

I believe he’s saying that Ponting’s peak is clearly ahead of practically everyone elses besides a select few. (presumably guys like Smith, Richards, Sobers, Bradman)What does it even means??
I mean, I got that. But like, that's true for most top tier batsmen. Like, it was a strange way of phrasing.I believe he’s saying that Ponting’s peak is clearly ahead of practically everyone elses besides a select few. (presumably guys like Smith, Richards, Sobers, Bradman)
It means Sanga, by every metric going, is a wanker. He was gifted so many run fest pitches to feast on because he was fortunate enough to have the superstar, never wanked in his life, Murali in his team who didn't care what kind of pitch he had to bowl on.What does it even means??

Wouldn’t disagreeIt means Ponting, by every metric going, is a wanker. He was gifted so many run fest pitches to feast on because he was fortunate enough to have the superstar, never wanked in his life, McGrath in his team who didn't care what kind of pitch he had to bowl on.
Yeah, maybe. Tie breaker then is most wanker runs. Sanga wins hands down...which is pretty remarkable for a wanker.Wouldn’t disagree
Lara, Sobers, Hutton. Arguably Hammond, Hobbs, Sangakkara and Kohli are equal.There are very few who had a peak like Ponting. Bradman, Smith, Viv Richards, who else?
lol KohliLara, Sobers, Hutton. Arguably Hammond, Hobbs, Sangakkara and Kohli are equal.
Between 2016-19, Kohli scored 4208 runs @66.8; and that included his ATG series in England, the only country he has poor record in otherwise. Don't be a sheep, look things up and comment.lol Kohli
Peak Kohli gets underrated because of his decline after. He was scoring ATG hundreds everywhere in a hard era for batting.Between 2016-19, Kohli scored 4208 runs @66.8; and that included his ATG series in England, the only country he has poor record in otherwise.

I have. His peak was great no doubt. Doesn’t really stack up to guys who averaged up to 10 more than him over a longer time period though, no?Between 2016-19, Kohli scored 4208 runs @66.8; and that included his ATG series in England, the only country he has poor record in otherwise.
