Which team would win

[OverratedSanity]

Dude batsmen in 60s and 70s used to pad away the ball and they weren't given out even if ball hits the stumps. While rule changed in 90 s and batters couldn't use vs warne or Murali

So basically you're saying batsmen from the 60s and 70s would face difficulties vs Warne/.Murali because they can now no longer pad the ball away vs them right?

 

[Victor Ian]

so how good was oreilly?

 

[BazBall21]

Stop treating it's every decent player of spin did. And too that extent regularly?? Yeah, only those 2 and Laxman did

Players like KP, Anwar, Kirsten, Kallis etc did well v Warne. Sidhu&Azharuddin also IIRC.

Kallis didn't really. Players like Jayawardene, Sangakkara, Dravid, etc also didn't.

 

[BazBall21]

Kallis didn't really. Players like Jayawardene, Sangakkara, Dravid, etc also didn't.

Kallis struggled v McGrath; think he was good v Warne. Just didn't take him apart like the more stylish destroyers of spin did.

I think what I read Kallis wasn't particularly adept to Warne as well. Warne did Great vs Pakistan and SL, who had many great players of spin.

I've read differently.

Warne was amazing, I'm just saying I don't think it was just Tendulkar and Lara who got the better of him.

I never saw Kallis particularly struggle against Warne. Yes he got out to him occasionally. Against Murali yes he did struggle.

I don't think you can count Kallis vs Warne in favour of Kallis in anyways really

Fine but I am saying that the assumption that Richards/Sobers will blast him off/find him easier than say McGrath is purely baseless and pulled out of arse

Mere mental fabrication

 

[govinda indian fan]

Padding away rule changed in 1972.

It was very easy to not get LBW against spinners back then.

So how do we trust older players to survive against Murali and Warne when they can't pad away no more?

In fact if Murali and Warne had DRS, all hell would have broken loose. You can't even do bat & pad together anymore.

As you said it was difficult to get lbw vs spinners is one of main reason bedi/ prasanna /chandra didnt get as many wickets they should have otherwise they are closer to warne and Murali then many think

Just saying you're understimating sobers and viv

He isn't. He is just saying that Viv taking on Warne is not conspicuous.

Viv would destory warne

 

[sayon basak]

Viv would destory warne

How do you know that?

 

[subshakerz]

Come on hand over heart you really see Viv/Sobers finding Warne more difficult to play than McGrath over a series? Especially in Aus?

 

[subshakerz]

Viv would destory warne

At this very least, score well. Warne could get him out occasionally but he will end up being productive due to aggressive scoremaking, like KP.

Just saying you're understimating sobers and viv

They are overestimating Warne.

I have seen both of them play pacers similar in quality. Spinners, no. So I am not making this assumption here.

Viv is one of most talented batsman ever to exist. He would eventually find a way to combat warne. Same with sobers
