    You always seem to bring it up, so I thought might as well point it out and save you the trouble.

    He performed pretty well in both series that he played in England in the 1980s. Was MoS in 1987 IIRC and great series in 1981-82 https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/pakistan-in-england-test-series-1982-60503/stats

    Dude, you've been spitting the same nonsense for more than a decade. It isn't hard to find. Here is a sampling. But it is always good calling you out. #205 #317 #327

    So, if everyone has to bat, then an ATG bowler who has good batting skills becomes extremely valuable. More so than a batsman who just turns his arm over, and definitely more so than a bowler who is equivalent in bowling but isn't able to hold a bat to save his life.

    It is not me repeating it to make it true. What do you not understand about the part where to win a game you have to get the other team out? So everyone has to bat? Is that not part of cricket by design? I can tell you didn't watch them bat because Steyn and Warne were pretty bad with the bat...

    The irony is that kyear2 keeps harping on about Imran's home umpires and other nonsense while conveniently ignoring that WI's stellar record of 15 years without a home loss came about because Imran was denied key wickets with atrocious umpiring.

    The lengths that kyear2 will go to prove that Imran doesn't deserve an ATG status at all is funny :laugh: inb4, he says, "I consider him an ATG, he is just outside my top 5, but you can easily place him anywhere from top 10 to top 100. But the gap between the top 3 and top 5 is extremely small...

    Yes, always conveniently forget, in cricket everyone must bat but not everyone must bowl in order for a result to be achieved. It is by design. Hence bowling all rounders are inherently more valuable especially if they are ATG fast bowlers. It's not too difficult to understand. Did you ever...

    I am not even talking about the politics stuff. He started his philanthropic endeavours in his cricket playing days (remember the worst victory speech in WC history? :p). Also he brought a significant amount of female fan following to cricket in pakistan (and outside as well). Helped create...

    Imran's impact off the field was far greater than Marshall, Hobbs, or Sobers.
  12. smash84

    Which type of players are hardest to find ?

    You really like his pole don't you? :naughty:

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    That's a bit circular though. Things that don't yet have an explanation are put as random.

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    Why couldn't he maintain a great standard for longer given that his workload was much lower?

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    Great post with a lot of great context added in. Which is why i said that I am surprised that this poll is closer than I thought it would be. I was expecting less votes for Marshall.

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    Nobody is asking you to change your views. They're just asking you to be consistent and not changing them selectively. Bending over backwards to put your favorites on top while going out of your way to crap over other players ignoring your otherwise previous views

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    I'll be honest, this poll is a lot closer than I thought it would be

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    I just described that whole point in my argument with trundler. Read it.
  19. smash84

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    It is relevant. It's how you define the bands.
  20. smash84

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    Because there's practically nothing in bowling between McGrath and Hadlee
