    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    Imran is technically better than Viv, but Viv simply was the greatest cricketer of his generation. Hadlee may be technically better than Marshall, but Marshall was greater by virtue of higher reputation as a bowler.

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    To a lesser extent, Wasim also had some really impressive performances as a teen too. We shouldn't penalise them for that but give them credit even if it wasn't worldclass figures.

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    Two separate claims. Teen prodigy by scoring tons in difficult places for SC bats.

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    Yeah but slips impacted the most.

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    It only matters considering there were only a handful of times he got out to McGrath.

    Shane Warne vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Sure which is why pundits rated him higher.

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    Huh? You are the same one giving allowance for Sobers teen years. Tendulkar as a teen scored tons in SENA to his credit but expecting him to average the same is too much.

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    Tendulkar way too low.

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    Tendulkar didn't have weaknesses against high pace like Lara as well. And please don't bring out raw averages knowing Tendulkar played them as a teen. In their respective primes, Lara was owned by these bowlers, Tendulkar was never owned. I dunno, I think a difference of 5-6 places overall on...

    Shane Warne vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Glad to see you agree with me that uniqueness contributes to greatness.

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    Yeah but checking rate difference of 0.345 or whatever isn't really a good measure to determine who was better against McGrath IMO. Even by that measure, Lara has been dismissed by McGrath 9 times in 14 games in Aus, so it's clear he had issues there with the added bounce of Pigeon. I like to...

    Lara or Kallis

    It was an awesome dismissal.

    Shane Warne vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Failing to address arguments is what he is best at. If it wasnt for that, I would respect him more.

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    Fair. Tendulkar is notably better than both Lara and Warne. Pundits overestimate the degree to which Lara and Tendulkar are that close. Tendulkar has a clear edge. Tendulkar being better than many more competitors is more impressive than Warne being much better than far fewer competitors...

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    Donald dismissed prime Tendulkar once a series in three series. Tendulkar scored moderately. I don't recall Tendulkar particularly struggling against Donald. Would call it a draw.

    Shane Warne vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Is ABD a greater cricketer than Root because of slips?

    Shane Warne vs Sachin Tendulkar

    You're right. Barry seems more revered than Marshall.
