Abdul Qadir vs Subhash Gupte

[DrWolverine]

Excluding himself, Keith Miller was the best all-rounder.

Botham was the most gifted of the 1980s all-rounders but didn't fulfil his potential.

Hutton, a back foot player, was the leading English batsman, followed by Dexter. Other English batsmen were too negative, notably May who didn't hook, Barrington, Boycott and Cowdrey who had a lot more ability than he showed in Tests.

These seem okay

 

[Johan]

Hutton is less negative than Compton I guess

And May>Boycott and Cowdrey.

 

[Johan]

that's not a crazy take imo

 

[Johan]

though again, Sobers was at Sabina Park that day when Hutton made 205 when the combined three Ws managed 202 in 2 innings, rest of the English bats managed 206/9 and that levelled the series, perhaps that effects his perception.

Yeah I can Agree.

ICC inducted Qadir into their Hall of Fame for 2022

Gupte who retired in 1961 has not been inducted after so many years

 

[Coronis]

Gupte by a margin.

Hall of Fame doesn't have Dudley Nourse, John Waite, Clem Hill and most egregious of all Ranjitsinhji still. Qadir's record speak for (or really against) itself. It's not really close at all.

Does anyone care about ICC Hall of Fame?

Probs the guy they pay to update the website

 

[Coronis]

They have Barry Richards but not Mike Procter.

 

[sayon basak]

That'd make sense to some.

 

[capt_Luffy]

That'd make sense to some.

Again, Shut up. That makes sense only to Kyear, unless you think Gavaskar is better than Imran.

(I wanted to tag him, but didn't. So replaced that by "some")

only Viv from that generation is better than Imran imo

 

[capt_Luffy]

only Viv from that generation is better than Imran imo

He isn't. Only Don and Sobers are, Grace including everything and an argument for Hadlee and an honourable mention to Hobbs.

 

[Johan]

He isn't.

He is.

 

[capt_Luffy]

He is.

No he isn't.

 

[sayon basak]

He is.

Do you really believe that Imran the cricketer is better than Viv the cricketer in Test?
