    Virat vs ABD

    ABD. However Kohli has a chance

    Holding vs Gibbs

    I mean I think Holding’s the third best WI pacer, so I’d take him over Garner, and have a bowling attack of Marshall, Amby, Holding and Gibbs.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    But yes Lara 99 and 2001 are the best here. Then Viv 79, Smith 2019, then Viv 76 and then Smith 2017. Viv’s ATG series in Pak also a candidate. man so many series in different conditions, where he was the difference between the teams

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Viv won WI that series, plus with 2017 BGT, Smith only faced one really tough track(many dropped chances). Viv’s 1979 vs Lillee, Hogg and Thomson was flawless: 396 runs in 4 innings, lowest score of 80 odd, plus more attacking than Smith. Even Smith’s Pune hundred was without pressure, when Hogg...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Will take Lara 1999, 2001 and Viv 1979(cause of the contextual factors, wickets etc)(the last two series somewhat slightly) over 2019

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Very close(went with Smith, cause of how dangerous Archer was, and the wickets).

    Allan Border v AB de Villiers

    I mean vs WI he did one of the best attacks ever, so 36 is decent. And he had an amazing series vs Holding and Garner(both were operating at peak)+ Roberts in 1981

    Allan Border v AB de Villiers

    In ABD’s discussions talent comes into play. But not here, Border has no weakness, success up the order and great series vs all great attacks of his time

    Brian Lara vs Greg Chappell

    Border and Lara would be close(still Lara clearly). This is not close

    Wally Hammond vs Allan Border

    but with a lot of batsmen pre 70s who we rate higher such as Hobbs(I mean just the variety of crazy conditions plus the longevity), Hutton(domination of Lindwall and Co, Ramadhin and Valentine, and thriving in the 50s(a very tough era) despite his war injury with a near perfect record) and...

    Wally Hammond vs Allan Border

    Hammond is overrated(and the only thing to his credit was he batted well on sticky wickets). Border has a far more complete record, dominance vs the great bowlers of his era(and a massive range of them), incredible longevity, and versatility in batting anywhere from 3-6.

    Harbhajan vs MacGill

    Oh yeah, remember that happening

    Harbhajan vs MacGill

    Harbhajan is my least favourite Indian cricketer and symbolises all I hate in cricketers. Rahul Dravid is the opposite

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Lara 1999(best ever)>Lara 2001/Viv 1978(396 runs in 4 innings, tearing down Lillee, Thomson and Hogg(one of the best bowlers at that time) to be the main difference between the sides in the series with which WI became the unquestioned best team in the world)>Smith 2019>Viv 1976>Smith 2017(many...

    Wally Hammond vs Allan Border

    Border a better batsmen clearly

    Joe Root V Allan Border

    Border easy. Complete record(Root never has had one good tour of Aus), versatility, domination of great bowlers
  17. H

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Allan Border

    And Border was a genius from 3-6. But Gavaksar opened.
  18. H

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Allan Border

    Very very close. Border has a more complete record(I mean one of the most complete records for any ATG bar Tendulkar) and dominated so many great bowlers(ATG Botham and Willis in 1981 Ashes, Hadlee during his 33 wicket series, Imran and Sarfaraz during their reverse swing blitzes against Aus in...

    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Does batting get any better in terms of sheer visceral delight? Even Vivian Richards was shocked at how brutal Lara was
