Rabada vs Williamson

Rabada's bowling or Kane's batting

Rabada

Kane for longevity. Rabada will probably pull ahead in a couple of years.

BD team is just helping Rabada to improve his overall away record. His away avg was above 27, which is now 25.19 and surely will end up averaging sub 25 after the series. Guess Williamson should tour BD more often.

Kane toured BD a year ago and averaged 35.

Two tests are not enough to judge. Scored a century in one of them.

Gave his wicket away to taijul thrice in that series (iirc he was motm in the first test). Other than that, our players are much more generous now.

Two tests are not enough to judge.

But they are enough to take his avg from 27+ to sub 25. BD is special.

Sure....

Obviously you are sure. Mushfiq even got out by obstructing the field. What more can we do for our guests?

One thing i admire about Rabada is his intelligence, he seems like a real student of the game , he was only 20 years old here and he was talking about aspects many fast bowlers today wouldn't pick up on. I doubt many Pakistani seamers today would mention this specific part of Imran Khan's bowling in this interview for example.

On a similar note, Imran’s boomeranging in-swingers to get Gavaskar and Vishy out are contenders for balls of the century

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Rabada’s record is looking pretty similar to Waqar’s record (if not better)

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Rabada averages 44 in India and is boosted by smashing it at home in bowler friendly conditions, therefore his whole record is inadequate.

If you only look at his performances in England, Australia and India, he averages a decidedly mediocre 28.70. Obviously his home record doesn't count for toffee as those wickets are biased towards seam bowling.

Broken down into 26 in England and Australia and 44 in India. So he's very good in 2 out of the three and awful in the 3rd. Kane by comparison using the same 3 countries, averages 31 in England, 34 in India and 43 in Australia. He's poor in two of the three and good in the 3rd. Overall average in the big 3= 33. Poor!!

Lmao in a Kane Williamson comparison thread ? You must be trolling.

I'm sorry I wasn't impressed with Williamson when he toured Sri Lanka , KW is very poor in atleast 4 countries with the bat.

Stop taking my post seriously. Oy veh!

It was clearly a parody of the logic deployed in recent Williamson threads to make him sound worse than he objectively is.

In this case, similarly selective use of statistics to make Rabada sound objectively worse than he is (without an active comparison between the two)
