Don Bradman and Rubel Hossain vs Sachin Tendulkar and Dale Steyn

[DrWolverine]

Suppose they come as combo package, who would you pick?

 

[h_hurricane]

Rubel the bowler is almost as much of an outlier as Bradman the batsman.

 

[sayon basak]

That's just like saying Bradman twice (or Rubel twice).

 

[h_hurricane]

That team would be in fact better served by Bradman taking a higher bowling workload than Rubel.

That's just dissing Rubel.

I don't see the argument for the first option.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

RBX supremacy

This belief that Bradman is twice as good as everyone else and that this comparison is even worth consideration is just wild to me.

This is a fallacy because you need good bowlers but I’d take Bradman and Daren Ganga over Sachin and Lara

 

[Coronis]

My vote is not necessarily about the quality of the two players combined here.

Sachin is a once in a generation batsman sure. But Bradman is a once in history batsman. I’d just love to see him play.

What?

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Bowlers are more valuable than batsman. If there was a bowling equivalent of Bradman I would probably go with him and a batsman of Rubel quality.

I don't see the argument for the first option.

I think the second option as a package would have an argument for being worth more than Bradman even without having to play Rubel.

Well I guess we would disagree on that one.

There's no argument in my mind.

Here's the argument.

Don Bradman~Rubel Hossain>Sachin Tendulkar>Dale Steyn

 

[Migara]

Rubel Hussain brings down anyone to the level of mediocrity

No I think we're actually agreeing lol.

I think the answer on the poll is obvious, and we voted for the same one.

But even if the question was just Tendulkar&Steyn vs Bradman, without the Bradman side having to play the worst player of all time, I'd still take Tendulkar and Steyn I think.

Ahh, yeah you're right.

I guess the difference is that I don't have to think about it.

The arguable 2nd best bat, who faced infinitely better attacks in way more varied conditions, and a top 4 or 5 pacer, there's nothing to think about.

But yeah, we're on the same page.

That's a compliment actually. Rubel would take this.
