Hashim Amla vs Clive Lloyd

[SillyCowCorner1]

This post pattern is very effective.

Good. Let's not jinx it now

Lloyd. If only for that one series vs Australia in 75/76 when the Australia attack was at its murderous peak: Lloyd made 469 runs at 47. And this after getting hit several times and having duck and weave away from bouncers.

And now when you consider he was imo one of the finest player of spin not from the SC, like ever.

And my (very) educated guess would be you already have a top 50 prepared already?

Nah. It is something which needs you to watch them bat. Can't rank on skill on stats and peer reviews alone.

At least, players you have seen?

Lloyd for me, just a tougher era

Younis Smith Jayawardene Root Pujara Cook among the ones I have seen explicitly, can count Sehwag and SRT if you want to.

 

[Thala_0710]

From the current ones, Root and Khawaja are probably the best from the non SC teams. Rachin and Conway look quite good too.

I am struggling to name many from SC whom I would rate really highly vs spin...... Jaiswal is one, but can't think of many more.

Jaiswal is the one I'd go for. Haven't seen enough but Kamindu looks quite good too vs spin although hasn't been tested nearly enough

I imagine Alvin Kallicharan is up there as well.

Probably Pant tbh

 

[subshakerz]

Lloyd easily when you account for the flat bat era of Amla. ABD would be a more interesting comparison.

One of the finest players of spin ever, in general. Dominated the quartet and the best record of any visiting player in India.

Probably Pant tbh

Pant is generally good, but gets out way too often on poor/mediocre deliveries of spinners.

 

[sayon basak]

This was two years ago.

Clive Lloyd's captaincy makes him a far more valuable player.
