    Prasanna vs Qadir

    I don’t have video evidence of the bottle cap either but they’re equally true.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Not really. They still have a pretty meh win rate for such a great team. Their bowlers didn’t bowl out the opposition team often enough.

    Peer crap crapium?

    Prasanna vs Qadir

    Qadir sucks balls. Prasanna played more matches away than at home and still has a better overall average.

    Ashwin vs Murali - who is the greatest at home?

    Murali also took on a heavier load, had much worse support and was still more economical. Its Murali no question.

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    @shortpitched713 please tell me that’s a joke vote. As the forum’s resident Sutcliffe fan I can’t get behind that line of thinking.

    Kohli Test Average

    Think he’d have to average like ~30 (assuming 10 innings and dismissals) to drop below 47

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Its quite an oddity than India got a lot of 5 test series before his debut and then now after his retirement they are once again.

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    Be interesting to see a comparison of leading runscorers average when they took the record vs the players they took the record from.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    His opinion on Gupte has always confused me very much. They played a single test series together in 58/59 in India and Gupte’s performance was hardly outstanding. 22 @ 42.13. Maybe from the Kanpur test where he ripped through them in the first innings (9/102, Sobers out for 4.) But then in the...

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Vindication for @shortpitched713 Also not playing a certain shot = negative, and not bowling a certain ball = bad. Even if you didn’t need to do those to get the results you did.

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    That’s literally what I said?

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    Conversely, in the games he played after the war, the average was 36.9, and he maintained a similar average, proving that as he said, he was a far better batsman pre-war, despite similar numbers and greater volume. Its insane to think what his record might’ve been if the war didn’t occur.

    Is there a difference between a greater cricketer and a better cricketer?

    Based on everything I can barely seperate Murali and Warne by a hair’s breadth. It somewhat amuses me when people claim that one was clearly better than the other. But again that’s just me.

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    Couldn’t agree more. Hobbs was practically equal with Sutcliffe throughout the 20’s despite being his elder by 12 years and he has that pre-war dominance to go with it.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    That’s extremely insulting to Sheperd and Noreiga. Nice to see you admit Sobers sucks though.

    Herbert Sutcliffe vs Jack Hobbs

    Well obviously, he has the longevity. When they were in direct competition, their stats were quite similar (slight edge to Sutcliffe) while Hobbs was 12 years older (Sutcliffe debuted at 29, Hobbs was 41 at that point). And the era he played in was generally high scoring. He was an exponent of...

    Is there a difference between a greater cricketer and a better cricketer?

    The near symmetry of those numbers is quite astounding

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Kohli has played more 5 test series than Tendulkar. Gavaskar played more 6 test series than Tendulkar or Kohli have played 5 test series. (6 test series were only played in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, mainly between Australia, England, Windies and India - also a couple with Pakistan)
