Malcolm Marshal vs Glenn McGrathbbb

[Johan]

anyway to end the Viv discussion

Smith makes 2 runs more than Viv on average while having bashed a hopeless Windies on flat roads, having far more generous home pitches, batting mostly in an easier era and will likely go down further to having a closer RPI soon.

what the ****

 

[DrWolverine]

on what basis are we removing his 1976

@capt_Luffy was removing it on this basis I guess

plus Smith's quality all also comes from two serieses, if he never haf those, I doubt people would consider him even an ATG,

 

[Johan]

@capt_Luffy was removing it on this basis I guess

but I mentioned that in response to him saying Viv is too dependent on a year, my response was Smith's rating being dependent on two serieses, lol.

 

[subshakerz]

Viv went missing for half of his prime. That pretty much decided it for me. And I don't decide to ignore WSC, I rate it as I would rate Gavaskar's 188 for MCC or any similar tour/domestic match against a strong opposition. But it's not Test.

That was a mostly friendly game not a serious competitive series like WSC

WSC imo was not a serious competition but a spectacle, with show over substance.

 

[Johan]

I doubt an Australia vs Windies game in 1977 can be unserious

Is this Brock Lesnar in your PFP?

Like IPL?

IPL is quite competitive but you know it is more about money than an actual competition. Big example : Dhoni

WSC was a fanfare. The cricketers were paid to perform first and foremost.

The Tribal Chief

 

[sayon basak]

Big example : Dhoni

He's the 3rd greatest ODI cricketer you guys ever had.

Imo IPL. Where WSC had different WI and Australia based teams (alongside RoW, get that one), it also was owned by a single person with only business in mind who made it clear first hand and did everything in his power to make it as much of a spectacle as possible.

That's just being salty really. No one but the English thinks fast scoring is important to preserve the "dying game". It's more the modern players have forgotten their defensive game

Tests is not dying imo. We are playing more tests than ever before.

 

[capt_Luffy]

And @Johan why the **** you changed your pfp 15 times in 3 minutes??? Especially all WWE characters!!! Is it just out of spite????

Wait a minute, a big showy spectacle, WWE fan..... It's all making sense now!!!

Tests are dying in one but the opinions of Stokes and McCullum
