Viv Richards vs steve smith

[govinda indian fan]

Also like, Australian opening in this India tour was really fragile and they were desperately searching for someone to just survive the initial Bumrah overs and not expose their middle order. In context, it's really not what Australia was looking for.

The wanted to unsettle bumarh also

Yeah I don't went to get bogged down by the debate on the innings impact. The point is Konstas approach did affected the innings momentum and messed with the main bowlers approach. Viv was like that X 100.

You won't get that with an accumulator.

Viv was greatest match winner in test cricket

didn't get too many, but played in the most bowling friendly era of all where randos averaged sub 20

Tbh, if we consider the fact that the cheering comes from peer ratings, Viv may not be as great as everyone portrays him to be. I’m not saying that Smith is better than Viv, though.

Viv Richards - averaged only 52 in wins - only 12 tons - all whilst having the best bowling attack ever. Pretty impressive matchwinner.

Wasn’t even the most matchwinning batsman on his own team.

In wins with both batsmen

Viv 3750 @ 50.67 11 tons vs Greenidge 4631 @ 55.79 14 tons
Viv 2627 @ 54.72 7 tons vs Lloyd 2792 @ 60.69 8 tons
Viv 1902 @ 48.76 6 tons vs Richardson 2453 @ 54.51 9 tons

That is not even the stupidest thing you've ever said.

 

[Johan]

Root averages 65 in wins, nice.

 

[Coronis]

Are you sure

 

[subshakerz]

Are you sure you rate Hobbs at 3?

As a pure batter, yes. Obviously with an asterisk to his name.

Mate konstas biltz took Australia to 90 runs in no time. If macsweeny was there it would have been 40-1 and aus would made just over 350 and who knows ind might have won the match. It was konstas who was difference

HELL NAH!!!!

the question wasn't so much whether he batted better than McSweeney or not, it's if he scored those runs as fast as him
