    The Biggest Spinner of the ball?

    Swann was a sharp turner of the ball.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Ok bro out of respect to you and the great man, I will tone down my framing of Lara's flaws.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Yes but as you know Imran has extenuating factors for his away record that Lara does not. But then, Imrans away record being criticized a bit wasn't new on this forum whereas few if I recall have tagged Lara on this front where the concern is more legitimate. I tend to focus my critiques more...

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    You are shifting goalposts. You asked who he did better against in away series, and I pointed to Donald and McGrath. On top of that, Tendulkar has other ATG pacers like Ambrose and Steyn he has quality away series against to. Just accept that Tendulkar is a bit better on this front.

    Agreed.

    Brian Lara vs Greg Chappell

    Yeah. I think Chappells lack of a full SC career kind of holds him back. Would be very hard to vote against him if he had that.

    Younis easily

    Wally Hammond vs Len Hutton

    Why do you regard Hutton as better? I am split between them.

    Semantics. You agree with my point.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Gavaskar being an opener in a tough era certainly helps to even the odds a bit though Viv was no.3. However, bringing up Vivs first class domestic record doesn't much change things for me.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    You're so desperate man to call Tendulkars series as a teen against Donald a fail. The point is Tendulkar simply was more consistent and I have shown you, didn't outright fail away from home against top attack plus had great series against such attacks that Lara did not.

    Brian Lara vs Greg Chappell

    My time wasn't wasted since you ended up agreeing with my main critiques of Lara.

    Brian Lara vs Greg Chappell

    Um we rank Lara virtually the same. The point is why does WSC count for Chappell but you won't count it for others?

    Brian Lara vs Greg Chappell

    Chappell was better against pace and bounce. More consistent as well. Lara better against spin and has ATG knocks and series under his belt. Lara gets the nod but you can make a good case for Chappell.

    For some cricketers. Not for others.

    Yeah it's relatively close.

    Huh? Don't understand how he can attack you then.

    Wait did you actually vote for Sobers over Bradman?

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Away? Donald IMO. Sachin with a ton as teen and then a goodish series in 96, where Lara had just a poor series in 98. Against McGrath, Tendulkar had one good series in 99 while Lara two poor ones and one good one. And of course, Tendulkar had quality series returns against Walsh Ambrose and...

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Mixed results. Toured as a teen against Donald in 92, goodish series in 96, good and poor series in the 2000s before a near ATG series against Steyn. Much better sample for Sachin in SA. Debut series who cares and neither Wasim or Waqar had peaked yet. Yes but unlike Lara had a better record...
