Ravichandran Ashwin
Younis Khan
Ravindra Jadeja
Hashim Amla
Kevin Pietersen
Kane Williamson
Ben Stokes
Shakib Al Hasan
A 36 averaging batsman who can't pick 2 WPM on average isn't better than 47 averaging specialist batsman.
Lmao, mate I have been watching cricket since you were in diapers. You better watch and learn more.Younis, Ashwin and Jadeja above Amla. Hahahah, watch cricket pal.
well if 37 with bat and 29 with ball is bits n pieces I wonder what Kapil Dev was, 31 with the bat and 29 with the ball.29 averaging bowler who can't even pick 2 WPM and that too with home conditions in England lol...
What's the primary skill by the way? 36 average with bat is mediocre and 200 wickets in 110 tests is mediocre too. That reminds me of a tag aptly suited in this case, "bits and pieces".
WPM of close to 4..... It will be a real stretch to compare the bowling of Dev and Stokes on "average"; dare I say on bigger than doing so for Viv and Hussey......well if 37 with bat and 29 with ball is bits n pieces I wonder what Kapil Dev was, 31 with the bat and 29 with the ball.
That's the point. Averages are not the only indicator of a player's stature. Zaheer Khan and Jacques Kallis averages same but are they comparable as bowlers?well if 37 with bat and 29 with ball is bits n pieces I wonder what Kapil Dev was, 31 with the bat and 29 with the ball.
didn't compare their bowling, I want his justification to say 29 bowling average isn't good and 37 batting average isn't good.WPM of close to 4..... It will be a real stretch to compare the bowling of Dev and Stokes on "average"; dare I say on bigger than doing so for Viv and Hussey......
29 bowling average is good if he picks 300 test wickets in 100 tests and not 200 test wickets. If Stokes is not bowling, he has to make up by averaging in 40s to be considered a player at the level of Root, Cook and KP.didn't compare their bowling, I want his justification to say 29 bowling average isn't good and 37 batting average isn't good.
and WPM is only a measure of the preassure one shoulders?That's the point. Averages are not the only indicator of a player's stature. Zaheer Khan and Jacques Kallis averages same but are they comparable as bowlers?
In a same way, Stokes is comfortably 2-3 leagues below Dev as a bowler. Stokes had more home friendly conditions for bowling than Dev and Dev did it without any support.
Stokes is a better batsman than Dev but Dev is way ahead of Stokes as a bowler.
