Which team would win

[govinda indian fan]

And like Sobers played in and against India on some serious roads...... In one of the only turners Gupte took an innings 9-fer

But sobers did well vs laker in wet wickets at county cricket

 

[capt_Luffy]

No but gupte must be someone special if greatest cricketer of all time rates him so highly

Yes, as was Mahadevan Sathasivam. Gupte was Benaud's main rival (sort of) for the best leggies of that era (60s). Benaud rated Kanhai over Sobers, he retaliated in kind.

Again, Great. But different.

Haha you can't use Sobers' rating of a bowler to big up Sobers because he did well against him.

Kanhai was great cricketer who underachived and unfrounately underrated and forgotten by most

Just because warne said tendulkar as one who gave him nighmares doesn't mean warne is crap bowler

Okay?

What is Shane Warne's record vs the contemporary WI team of his time? Simple question.

65 wickets in 19 tests @30

Ok then just pick murali because he averaged 19 vs WI. By your logic that obviously means he'd destroy the ATG WI team right ?

Kinda hilarious Murali averaged 19 (let alone Vaas 14) even in Lara's 688 series......

@kyear2 says that bradman batted in flattest era,in two countries and never faced a atg bowler. Maybe if bradman played more professional era and played on bowling freindly pitches across world facing atg bowlers maybe would average less then 99

 

[govinda indian fan]

If we remove don and maybe add punter how do you guys think result would go

 

[capt_Luffy]

Either way. Depends on how turny the pitches are. Warne is a significant advantage for Australia, but WI do have Sobers.

Kyear2 thinks many things....... No one says he would average 100 (like you have to round off in some special way to get 99 not 100) in the current Era. But in and of itself that's bonkers. Think how otherworldly a mere 80 would be. This dude was "exposed" in one series, one series where he struggled and was a mortal; and he still averages ****ing 56 in that!!!! 56!!! That's higher than Sachin's career!!!

We are playing just one match in sc. That in eden gardens which aids swing on day 1
Imo my ideal pitches would be
Leeds test- green swinging wicket
Kolkata test- flat but offers turn and variable bounce on day 4 and 5
Joburg test-pace and bounce with lot of carry
Perth- same as above
Bridge town - seam and swing on day 1 with variable bounce with lot tear on wicket on day 5

Bradman is greatest of all time but we cant say how he would have done in more professional era. Maybe don being don would still average more then everyone else
