Choose one pair : Lara/Steyn or Gavaskar/Ambrose?

Depending on the pair you choose you will get the same players for the next 15 years.

I have Lara above Gavaskar and Steyn above Ambrose, this is easy for me

 

[Silver Silva]

Lara/Steyn is way more exciting from a viewing perspective

 

[Burgey]

Lara and Steyn as dinner companions.

 

[subshakerz]

Steyn and Lara quite clearly.

Lara simply a more important alpha bat.

Steyn had a 10 year peak whereas Ambrose was shorter.

 

[DrWolverine]

I must be the only person in this sub who will choose Curtly Ambrose and Sunil Gavaskar.

@capt_Luffy voted for Ambrose and Gavaskar.

Gavaskar & Ambrose

Elite opening bats are rarer than elite MO bats and Ambrose was suffocating.

Agree that the other pair were more exciting though.

 

[subshakerz]

Steyn had a 10 year stretch taking 5WPM. Think about that for a fast bowler. Ambrose wasn't taking 5WPM even in his shorter peak.

Even with bumps in the beginning and end, he is just giving more bang for the buck than Ambrose.

Lara can actually set the pace of games. Gavaskar cannot.

Yeah, as individuals I will opt for that pair. Just think Gavaskar being an opener is a boost as ATG openers are extremely rare (like the next best after big 4 is Boycott, that's a significant drop; while think say Steve Waugh/Ken Barrington is a much leaner drop), and Ambrose just a tad bit more consistent between games.

Ambrose didn't even have a 15 year career. So he doesn't even qualify for the basic criteria.

Wasn't it the same for that Marshall comp??

Yes.

These hypotheticals make my head hurt.
