    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I think when you look at the record you notice that Lara once he developed his eye problem in 94 was never the same against higher pace.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Any evidence that Thommo was the same pace threat as before since it's pretty common knowledge he had an injury the year prior that reduced his pace. Anyways, I don't think you will argue Miandad faced better attacks generally his time in Australia. Look at the level of excuses you are pulling...

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    Akthar and likely Thommo were fastest in terms of peak they can reach. Brett Lee and Tait more consistently fast.

    Shoaib did.

    Ashwin vs Murali - who is the greatest at home?

    What a bad faith interpretation.

    Ashwin vs Murali - who is the greatest at home?

    What about Rabada and Philander?

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I like how the weak attack argument only applies to Miandad in England and not Gavaskar in Australia. Thommo was already injured and down in pace when Gavaskar faced him. Miandad faced quality attacks every tour there. Bottomline, Gavaskar in England failed in four out of five series in...

    Ashwin vs Murali - who is the greatest at home?

    I went with Ashwin. Just think he was slightly more difficult to counter at home. Nobody really dominated him, except maybe Smith in 2017.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Again with the 'hate'. You should be above such cheap shots. I am objective enough to separate my dislike of his batting style with a fair qualitative assessment of him as a player. What you perceived as 'hate' is just my holding a strong opinion in opposition to group think here. And I think...

    ODI : Tougher bowler to score runs against - Garner vs Ambrose vs McGrath vs Pollock vs Bumrah

    Slightly different MO actually.

    Prasanna vs Qadir

    Two spinners with good reputations. Who is better?

    Dennis Lillee vs Allan Donald

    Lillee based on rep and record against WI, his best team. WI respected Lillee way more than Aus respected Donald. It is close though. I know I will get heat for this, but I feel Donald's overseas record flatters him a bit whereas Lillee was the guy usually rising to the challenge.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    How do you rate Wayne Daniels?

    Andy Roberts vs Courtney Walsh

    Roberts. Better rep, impact of being the godfather of WI pace and comparable record overtakes the longevity for Walsh. It says a lot that in the presence of Garner, Croft and Holding, he was considered the leader of the attack. Walsh only got that distinction towards the end of the career when...

    ODI : Tougher bowler to score runs against - Garner vs Ambrose vs McGrath vs Pollock vs Bumrah

    Garner is one pacer you can say with confidence his MO would have translated well across eras. How exactly with his height and pitching it up consistently how are you going to knock him around?

    Ashwin vs Murali - who is the greatest at home?

    Which bowler is the best home bowler of all time? Murali may have a better WPM, but Ashwins SR is out of this world.

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

    Warne deserves more credit for his home record frankly.

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

    Aus record is a clear stat distinction between them for me. I have no confidence Murali would have succeeded there.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Yeah Miandad underrated in general. Gavaskar tho better especially given he was an opener in a tough era perhaps a tad overrated.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Don't get me wrong, Gavaskar is a league ahead of Miandad overall. But let's be objective here: In England, Miandad has a better record and at least two series he delivered in, Gavaskar only one out of five. In NZ, Miandad actually has really oustanding returns against Hadlee in a couple of...
