Which pair would win your side more matches?

[Johan]

It literally isn't though. No ATG pacer was really as big a menace as Murali at home.

Imran Khan

 

[DrWolverine]

IK : 38 Tests. 163 wkts @ 19.2. 10 5-Fer & 3 10 WPM
MM : 73 Tests. 493 wkts @ 19.5. 45 5-Fer & 15 10 WPM

 

[Johan]

remove the Bangladesh and Zimbabwe wickets and their home average won't be close.

 

[DrWolverine]

59 Tests.
372 wkts @ 22.22
32 5-Fer & 10 10WPM

 

[sayon basak]

Still 6.3 wickets per match. I wonder which pacer could replicate that.

WPM merchantry

 

[subshakerz]

Murali is way overrated at home honestly, I'm tired.

Yes. I argued this yesterday. Pakistanis bats for a generation handled Murali at home well.

 

[subshakerz]

Murali may win it on volume but not deadliness since he had the advantage of bowling marathon spells for hundreds of overs.

 

[sayon basak]

Murali may win it on volume but not deadliness since he had the advantage of bowling marathon spells for hundreds of overs.

Which no pacer can do.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Being able to bowl lots is a good thing.

Taking lots of wickets every match is a good thing.

 

[Johan]

Yeah spinners are like the garbage men of Cricket

they clean up the fodder and lower order

I mean, that's why Woakes is the GoAT right?

Didn't know Joel Garner was a spinner.

 

[Johan]

Didn't know Joel Garner was a spinner.

The literal main criticism against him is feasting on lower orders

 

[smash84]

Statchin + Steyn among these options

 

[subshakerz]

Which no pacer can do.

Yes.

I don't think I offended him? "Don't like Viv" is a bit of a lazy shorthand I guess but it's fair to say I rate Viv lower than most people do and that my vote was not a surprise given that.

It's really not about "not liking" him though. If most people only rated him Hussey level I'd think that was insane and be seen as a massive Viv fanboy. I rate him where I rate him.

You've also offended him in other ways. Mainly by having Imran as your greatest test cricketer behind Bradman.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

I mean, that's why Woakes is the GoAT right?

There are lots of reasons.

 

[kyear2]

Oh no, we offended kyear. @Prince EWS @capt_Luffy @OverratedSanity

Who was offended?

Like seriously, what's wrong with you?

No one was offended, just saying your and Coronis's views are known and understood, nothing more, nothing less.
