    Dale Steyn vs Brian Lara

    I think you have to look at the fit of the team rather than a direct comparison.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Well it helps that you know, he was the GOAT. Helps cover a few character flaws.

    Dale Steyn vs Brian Lara

    I don’t think either are productive discussions tbh.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    No. They just didn’t get along well. But Bradman was a bit of a ****. Didn’t get along well with a lot of blokes.

    Dale Steyn vs Viv Richards

    That is how I looked at it… Whose attack is that?

    Dale Steyn vs Brian Lara

    Yeah he’s well ahead of Viv. Also once again bowler vs batsman comparison dumb.

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Shame he only played 7 tests. Then again, 35 average in shield cricket in that era probably is a bit inflated.

    Dale Steyn vs Viv Richards

    I’m basing it off kyear’s own team.

    Combining ODI and Test records, who are the 5 greatest cricketers ever?

    I won’t pretend to be an ODI expert at all, I barely watch it, so I’m not sure. I know all the talk about Starc being one of the best has to do with his SR I believe.

    Dale Steyn vs Viv Richards

    Nah I think PEWS is right here. Looking at one of your former team lists… which team looks better to you? Hutton Richards Bradman Richards Tendulkar Sobers Gilchrist+ Imran Hadlee/Steyn/Ambrose Warne McGrath or Hutton Richards Bradman Richards Tendulkar Sobers Knott+ Imran Marshall Warne...

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I mean of course, people will pay attention to famous player’s sides more. But yeah I mean all the peer rating and XIs I’ve seen from top players - they don’t quite have the best judgement imo.

    Combining ODI and Test records, who are the 5 greatest cricketers ever?

    I mean SR is the most important in ODIs with each bowler limited to 10 overs correct? Curtly’s wasn’t very low for his era. Of all bowlers who took 50 ODI wickets during his career span, he ranks 38th out of 79

    Len Hutton vs Viv Richards

    He may have had to change his batting a bit but based on the available data he had a similar SR pre-war.

    Sir I. V. A. Richards vs Sir Walter Hammond

    From his recall into the English side in 59 til his forced retirement… Barrington 80 matches 6754 @ 59.71 20 tons Sobers 38 matches 3846 @ 68.67 13 tons Pollock 19 matches 1739 @ 57.96 6 tons I find it difficult to say Pollock was convincingly better during this time considering how few tests...

    Also what if he gets 315 in his first innings in B/G :ph34r:

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    It can be either. I’m curious as to why you would automatically assume its one. I’d still say even if the bowler is having an off series, if they were on form prior and after, a large portion of credit should go towards the batsmen they were facing.

    The Records and Milestones thread

    Obviously Bradman has the biggest gaps in these. 5000 - 56 innings vs 91 (Hobbs) 6000 - 68 innings vs 111 (Sobers, Smith) Third highest is Sanga 12000 - 224 innings vs 247 (Tendulkar) Aside from Bradman at 3000 and 4000 there are no other double digit gaps. Only 12 batsmen aside from...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Making a bowler perform poorly means the attack sucked. That’s a new one.

    Sir I. V. A. Richards vs Sir Walter Hammond

    I’m sure there were silly reasons related to it. Hammond didn’t exactly have the best reputation off field iirc and Sutcliffe was a professional who was trying to be captain iirc, at least at county level.
