Mark Taylor in Ashes 89? Or a worse batsman

Smith is a very good batsman though.
Pretty sure @capt_Luffy wants a worse one.

Yeah Smith is like more comparable to Stuart Broad.

How about Miandad's series on roads against Hadlee? He was the batting equivalent of Harbhajan

 

[Coronis]

why are you tagging him?

Because of his high standards of ATG status.

I just have Harvey higher than most I guess, same with May and Compton

 

[Coronis]

What about Strauss in SA in 04-05?
No one bar Strauss or Kallis avged 45+ that series.

Pretty decent

Yes but subz standards for ATG are high. Quite high. Higher than where you could possibly rate those 3

what's the batting equivalent of Barnes's South Africa series? Bradman's 1930 Ashes?

Yep. 974 and 49. So close, but no cigar. One due to rain, one due to personal choice.

The English gods made it rain so that it would be Joe Root to be the first to cross 1,000 runs in one series, he'll do it in Ashes 2025

You'd be grateful if he averages anywhere near 50 this Ashes.

He 100% will average more than that, more than one hundred too

Man. Those pollutants are even in your water. Have you been scanned?

Azhar Mahmood back to back tons against Donald Pollock in 98 in SA. Not sure if this qualifies.

I’d say one of the greatest series by a batsman of his calibre. But not the greatest by a non-ATG. Then again short series are hard to compare to long series as well.

 

[Johan]

thing with Harbhajan is, he's not even a good bowler, atleast Taylor and Strauss were good batsmen.

Pujara's 2018 BGT?

Pujara's 2018 BGT?

Pujara > Harbhajan
