    Andy Roberts vs Courtney Walsh

    The legacy of some cricketers have fallen over the years (or decades). When I started to watch cricket, I use to read and stories about how Dennis Lillee was the best fast bowler and Andy Roberts was just as good but more dangerous on his day. We grew up reading stories about his infamous...

    Andy Roberts vs Courtney Walsh

    Courtney Walsh is arguably the greatest over achiever in test cricket. Despite starting at the age of 22, he was not considered good enough. He was the 4th pacer behind Marshall, Holding and Garner. He barely played 5 Tests in first 2 years. Even after the retirement of the latter two, he was...

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Greg Chappell

    Sunil Gavaskar was the first Indian cricketer who took no **** from any opposition. The first world class cricketer from India and was widely respected for his talent.

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Greg Chappell

    Gavaskar slightly ahead because he was an opener and for a long time the only great batsman in his team I rate Greg Chappell very highly though For me, he is the second best retired Australian batsman ever and almost on par with Sir Viv Richards in test cricket.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    I I am not sure about Jack Hobbs. In Tests, I honestly don’t see any argument for Viv over Sachin. Maybe Viv had a better peak. Sachin’s insane consistency and longevity wins it for me.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    From 1976 to March 1981, Viv Richards had a glorious peak. Perhaps the greatest peak any batsman had barring Don Bradman. 33 Tests. 50 innings. 3483 runs. Avg of 72.5 12 centuries. 15 fifties. 1 duck. From Apr 1981 to retirement 78 Tests. 115 innings. 4586 runs. Avg of 42.85 11 centuries...

    Some top picks for the second best in favourable conditions : Philander, Rabada, Muralitharan, Williamson Obviously the GOAT is Don Bradman

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    After seeing Kohli’s struggles in test cricket, my respect for Sachin has increased tremendously. I felt he prolonged his career just to get the record of 200 Tests. At the time of his World Cup win in 2011, his record was extraordinary and unparalleled. 177 Tests. 290 innings. 14692 runs...

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    It’s good that Lara did not make his debut when he was 16. There is no doubt he was an extraordinary talent but not sure if he could have handled it mentally.

    Michael Atherton vs Navjot Sidhu

    Atherton The unluckiest opener in the world. 10 ATGs in McGrath, Warne, Ambrose, Walsh, Donald, Pollock, Wasim, Waqar, Murali, Marshall had dismissed him 95 times (46.3%)!

    Ball tampering?

    Brian Lara vs Shane Warne

    We see so many case of talented cricketers who lose direction once they perform well and get game and money. Sachin was a rare teen prodigy who not only accomplished everything for his talent but also kept a level head and didn’t get distracted to other things. Sachin on April 23rd 1993 25...

    Lara or Kallis

    True. He was boring and made me change the channel but as I grown older I have gone on to appreciate him more
