    Better opener : Graeme Smith vs Sehwag

    that’s probably where I disagree. While I certainly value performances in more challenging conditions more than favourable conditions, I believe in certain rare cases it may be possible to be SO dominant in favourable conditions that it compensate for deficiencies outside of those conditions...

    G Smith vs Kohli overseas

    Australia and South Africa are the only overseas locations that matter.

    Better opener : Graeme Smith vs Sehwag

    I have no idea what you are talking about. the point is players should be rated on how they actually performed and their actual contributions to their teams success, not some theoretical assessment of how they would perform in some theoretical set of conditions where they don’t play or play...

    Can someone explain what the case for Warne is?

    Better opener : Graeme Smith vs Sehwag

    Wasim Akram vs Malcolm Marshall

    Wasim Akram vs Malcolm Marshall

    There’s no bowling advantage. It’s all conjecture

    Wasim Akram Vs Kallis

    wrong.

    Wasim Akram Vs Kallis

    Anyone who actually saw Akram bowl would know he is amongst a handful of bowlers that qualify to be the GOAT. To definitely say any one bowler is better than him is pointless pedantry. The same could apply to Marshall, McGrath, Hadlee, Steyn, Ambrose etc
