You know you ****ed up when you rate an English cricketer higher than I do.Ken Barrington may have 1/100th the fame or stature or hype of Viv Richards but he is no less than him as a batsman.

Really? I haven’t noticed you rating them rather highly tbh.You know you ****ed up when you rate an English cricketer higher than I do.
a 27/28 bowler is still valuable. It only makes him more valuable and therefore enhances his greatnessBut in the example I gave, Bumrah would stretch his career by being a 27/28 averging bowler
As @ankitj has pointed out, Kallis and Sanga had similar length careers to him and were able to maintain better performance. Barrington, really I shouldn’t need to say anything. Greatest away record apart from Bradman, ridiculous output, multiple tons against everyone, tons in every country he played in.What else then?
