    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    People calling Imran's batting overrated aren't looking at Sobers' bowling. His bowling record is outrageously bad against Pakistan and NZ (which is more than a 5th of his career). In fact it is only really good against India which were almost minnowish in the 1960s. Heck, if you take out only...

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    You do realize that there wasn't even a 10 year gap between Sobers debuting and Bradman retiring right? So why would Bradman average 70 while Sobers would average the same?

    How much does captaincy impact results?

    wait, what? Who sees Graeme Smith's captaincy as a disaster?

    How much does captaincy impact results?

    Your saying reminds of a Richie Benaud saying (himself one of the great captains of all time) "Captaincy is 90% luck and 10% skill. But don't try it without the 10%". Because bad captaincy can do a lot of damage.

    Wasim Akram Vs Kallis

    His peer rating is probably greater than any bowler bar Lillee

    Bowling All Rounders or Batting All Rounders +

    Why are you ignoring that part? Weren't you arguing that slip fielding was as crucial as batting and bowling?

    Who after a full career remains the worst tailender you have seen?

    Courtney Walsh worth a shout

    Bowling All Rounders or Batting All Rounders +

    Where am I airing petty grievances? Qlder had a point. Having Simpson and Hammond as all rounders is ridiculous.

    Wasim Akram vs Muttiah Muralitharan

    Also infuriating, Murali was bowling on minefields and capitalizing fully getting all those wickets. While Mahela and Sanga were feasting runs on the flat tracks of SL. Which one is it?

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    What kind of silly a point is "he got hit in many key games"?

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    Has he been injured this series? I didn't really follow this series at all. Was surprised that NZ whitewashed India at home when it cropped up in the headlines.

    That is quite.....unexpected.

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    Babar is best at politics. Batting seems to be secondary. I hope he stays out for longer.

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    They might have been on par with Australia in the early part of McGrath's career but definitely not in the 00s

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    I hope not. The team's playing much better now that he is out.

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    And never bringing up context for certain players while always presenting mitigating circumstances like how someone was injured during blah blah tours is what annoys me, too. The 2008 and 2012 series were played on pretty flat wickets. The fact that Steyn was among the top wicket takers that...

    @kyear2 Just a simple question for you. Don't skip.

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    McGrath Did pretty well against SA in SA. What does that mean? He is averaging about 3.5 wickets per test. Steyn is averaging closer to 5 wpm in Australia but he didn't do pretty well? :wacko:
