    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    He basically played WI quartet back to back in 83. He scored three tons, all in drawn games though. Would say that overall I would say he had issues with them.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Didn't come out on top against WI per se. He was mixed.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    I mean, sure raw pace was pretty much Aus and Imran in his peak,.and he passed those challenges. Imran post-86 when he managed to level with Viv thanks to the legcutter was down on pace.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Sunny had a great series in 78 but that was before peak Imran, and a good series in 82 in Imran's ATG series.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    I don't necessarily think Sunny is a lock for top 10 now. I have him at no.10 but can see him as 11/12.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Viv did well against Eng pacers including peak Botham. Viv was just a way better away performer than Lara, more consistent.

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Yeah he failed against Donald and the 2Ws away. Sure but without Donald wasn't the same attack. Even Pollock was starting to decline then. Murali yes, a single series tho. He averages 47 away and pretty much the entire top tier is 50 above. But at least you grant my point. Two big issues...

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I am saying be more vocal on cricket issues.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I believe in the matchfixing issue he knows more than he has shared.about who was culpable. On other issues, he is a big voice and can drive the debate but I think he chooses to remain uncontroversial.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Hence why I care more about consensus of such rating.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I was thinking more on issues that arose in his time like ball tampering and matchfixing.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Sure but why would you discard who they find tougher to play? It is part of quality assessment.

    Viv Richards vs Sunil Gavaskar

    I don't think that is true among the actual current players in terms of ranking Kohli over Smith. I remember around Ashes 2019 and they were talking about him as next after Bradman.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Same principle applies with factoring in peer opinion of those who played against them.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Yes I argue consensus, not singular opinions which I agree aren't as reliable.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Do you have more confidence in the assessment of a player you yourself watched play or one you did not? And if the former, why?

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    IMO I find him too politically correct. He should have used his voice to weigh in on major cricket issues rather than stay squeaky clean.

    Viv Richards vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Yeah but why would he like about.skmething like this? Sheesh.

    Viv Richards vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Better peer rating, no major technical weakness, all round superior record especially away.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I find this a very arrogant position frankly.
