Steve Smith vs Sachin Tendulkar (after 205 innings)

[Johan]

Gut sense is that Hutton doesn't belong in a top tier with those much more universally celebrated.

Gut sense is that Hadlee doesn't belong in a top tier with those much more universally celebrated.

Bowlers it's different. It's a much more bigger deal to be best since Bradman in cricket lore than no.2 fast bowler ever.

Can inferior bats be more celebrated or no?

Can inferior bats be more celebrated or no?

I guess but not to that extent.

32 mentions for Warne is crazy

well it's whatever to me, I feel like it's natural for someone to become less celebrated over time like Hadlee for bowling but if that is an important metric for you then I'm not gonna ask you to change it to put a player I like over.

He is the clearest peer option for spinner.

The 90s/2000s peer attack is

Wasim
Warne
McGrath
Ambrose/Murali split

My point is that if someone if top tier then they legitimately have a case to be best after Bradman and I think that necessitates a level of universal pundit acclaim. Not having it seems odd.

What's wickets have to do with batting ranking tho?

Hmm I wouldn't give him extra points. The whole point of being an AR is to accomplish your secondary discipline without compromising your first.
