    Aus XI vs Eng XI pre 1970

    England’s team is pretty ridiculous. Australia has Bradman, England has pretty much everything else in their favour. I would probably think of Verity instead of Laker tbh. If England can slow down Bradman even the slightest I don’t see them losing.

    Kapil Dev vs Alec Bedser

    And some People will have you say Barnes wouldn’t have survived later eras just because he retired from internationals Pre- War.

    Kapil Dev vs Alec Bedser

    Kapil very slightly ahead as a cricketer thanks to his batting. Bedser ofc the better bowler.

    How much would a batsmen need to average to overtake Bradman?

    The story seems too unreal to be true. And even if Hollies did that it was probably one of the things he was saying randomly that came true. If he could knock over Bradman that easily, he wouldn’t have played just 13 tests and averaged over 30 in those 13 matches.

    Aus 2000 vs Eng 1950s

    I was thinking both teams would have some time to prepare rather than play direct match. Say a year ish. Warne would be a threat but nowhere close to be near unplayable. Laker in England is one of the best bowlers ever. The Australian batting lineup was totally dominated by Harbhajan. Laker is...

    Aus 2000 vs Eng 1950s

    Warne didn’t invent or do anything new. He was great but flipped came decades before him. He had his problems agianst India and didn’t do that much in West Indies either. Warne vs Hutton and I can bet Warne would face lot more problems than Hutton. Barrington had no problems against spin and...

    Aus 2000 vs Eng 1950s

    Warne would have a very tough time bowling to Hutton. Compton, Barrington etc. too. This is not a crap batting lineup of England which had no clue against a spinner. Laker in England probably a bigger threat than Warne.

    Jack Hobbs (Post-War) vs Herbert Sutcliffe

    I knew that but that’s still lot young compare to Hobbs. Hobbs would have been around 39 iirc at the 1921 when cricket began. He was way past his peak.

    Jack Hobbs (Post-War) vs Herbert Sutcliffe

    I’ll say Sutcliffe. The old man was past his peak at this context. Still one of the 15-20 best batsman ever after War. Sutcliffe on the other hand was young, fresh guy coming up to be the finest batsman in the world. I have Sutcliffe no.10 (9) not counting Pre-War Hobbs. Post War Hobbs would be...

    Viv Richards vs Sydney Barnes

    Barnes. Probably the best bowler to have ever walked the earth.

    Sydney Barnes vs Ray Lindwall

    Easy. Ofc Barnes. Lindwall probably the 3rd best bowler ever when he retired. Barnes, O’Reilly ofc very very clearly the first 2.
