Imran Khan vs Barry Richards

[sayon basak]

Did you tell your father it was a stupid take?

I did. But it's hard to convince him.

 

[sayon basak]

Actually tbh I also like watching Qadir's highlights at times, even tried to pick up his action; but never really thought of rating him nearly as highly.

 

[Johan]

is Qadir even better than Rey Illingworth?

TBH, Qadir was in nowhere as bad as Illingworth in WI.

I meant as overall cricketers, Illingworth also gives you 20 runs every inning, 7 more than Qadir and only averages
1 less at home

This will be a great thread. Will be interesting to see who takes it.

Any thread involving Imran is a great thread

And also involving.......

Imran Khan has a strong, strong case for being the greatest cricketer of alltime. I believe CMJ had him 2nd over the last 40 years - and I broadly agree. He was a truly ATG bowler, a solid batsman, a brilliant leader. This comparison is silly, the other dude played 4 tests.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Barry batting = Sachin class
Imran Bowling = Ponting class as batsman

Barry > Imran

Interesting. Do you rate Imran as an inferior cricketer to Kapil Dev?

Just switch to portrait you should be able to see signatures.

Your XI is cool. Swap Sutcliffe with WG.



And Hammond with Richards.

Also I think I meant landscape but you got there anyway

On reflection, I could probably be happy with both those guys in my 3rd XI, though in my head I rarely go beyond a 2nd XI.
