Jasprit Bumrah vs Bill O’Reilly

[sayon basak]

Nah.... With this lineup he will play as a specialist batsman

Ok sorry I forgot.

 

[Johan]

What about the first half of his career tho?

what about it

 

[Johan]

Opening bowler alongside Bumrah and opening Batsmen alongside Jaiswal imo

 

[sayon basak]

what about it

Low WPM.

Ok maybe that's just him being him.

I don't think workload hindered Miller.

Tbh I actually think Tiger was better than Barnes himself.

Sir Donald Bradman argued that W.J. O'Reilly must have been a greater bowler than Barnes because he commanded every ball developed in Barnes's day -- plus the googly. I told Barnes of Bradman's remark. "It's quite true," he said, "I never bowled the `googly.'" Then with a glint in his eye, he added, "I never needed it."

 

[Johan]

didn't Bradman rate Bedser over Lindwall?

 

[Coronis]

I believe at times he claimed both Bedser and O’Reilly to be the greatest he faced, and Grimmett to be the greatest spinner, not considering O’Reilly to be traditional spinner I guess?

Bradman had Bedser in his AT XI.

Barnes could also swing and seam the bowl both ways. Don't think O'Reilly could do that.

Everybody does. Always did. Always will.

Garner > Warne

Both ODIs and Test Cricket

Lindwall for his batting.

@DrWolverine what are your takes on Mankad?

A better batsman than Jadeja
A better all rounder than Ashwin
If he played for stronger team. he would have been better

A pretty interesting comparison, not sure really

Vinoo averaged 40 as an opener with 5 centuries including a double century.

Vinoo scored a century as an opener at Lords against Bedser, Trueman & Laker and at Melbourne against Lindwall & Miller.

Sure but that's pleasantly boosted by feasting on some really poor NZ attacks. Without it, his average drops to 30 while opening and 25 overall.

Dude, you are one to take a bullshit spat on me over wicketkeepers...... You can go ahead and field your Oldfields and Evans, but stating that Pant will start ahead of them in any team at the modern game is but a fact.

Directly related to the comment you made to me. And it's true, you don't think the skill is important.

There's a reason why wicket-keeping the skill itself was of greater value back then. Uncovered pitches and more and quicker spinners.

Modern guys likely wouldn't have been good keeping to O'Reilly or even Deadly.
