    Better opener : Gavaskar vs Cook

    How do we compare someone who played in 1900s to someone who played in 1970s? Test cricket saw a massive change in those years. Greatest opener before WW 2 : Hobbs Greatest opener after WW 2 : Sunny

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    30 years ago, Dennis Lillee was called as the greatest fast bowler in many cricket magazines, newspaper articles etc. What happened since then?

    Steve Smith VS Jacques Kallis

    Kallis may not have been a match winner like Sachin or Virat but he was a great supporting act and his team mates benefited from him being there. He gave a sense of security because he could not be dismissed easily and it allowed others to play aggressively and with more freedom.

    Graham Gooch vs Vernon Philander

    Botham is the only one who can make this team and that too only if they need an all rounder.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Don Bradman is the greatest cricketer of all time. That is the only thing that is objectively a fact. Sobers. Kallis. Marshall. Hadlee. Imran. Sachin. Murali. Mcgrath. All of them have a decent argument to be called second greatest cricketer ever. There may be some names I may have missed...

    Better opener : Graeme Smith vs Sehwag

    Graeme Smith is my top choice pick for the best test opener since Sunil Gavaskar.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Malcolm Marshall is the automatic pick as the first choice fast bowler and yet his name barely comes up when the names of greatest cricketers are mentioned

    Better opener 1 : Boycott vs Hayden

    It’s very tough to compare batsmen who played post-1970s to someone who played in first half of 1900s. Unless you are the GOAT like Donald George Bradman and are light years ahead of your peers and he is literally the only person who can claim that honor.

    Virat Kohli v Kevin Pietersen

    Even if scores zero runs in all 10 innings, his average won’t drop to 45. If he scores less than 200 runs in 10 innings, his average will drop below 47.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Imran was as good as Greenidge? :mad:

    Better opener : Graeme Smith vs Sehwag

    Sehwag has a great record at home. Statistically speaking, he may have a better record than Gavaskar.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Thank God Bradman exists or else people will argue forever who is the greatest batsman. I can argue that Sobers wasn’t even the best of his era and Ken Barrington had a better and more complete record and is underrated because of his dull batting.

    Better opener : Graeme Smith vs Sehwag

    Gary Kirsten is an opener that I feel doesn’t get enough credit because his batting was not flashy. Gary Kirsten played against 9 countries. He averages 40+ against 7 of them and ven against Australia and WestIndies, he averages a respectable 35. Gary Kirsten played in 9 countries. He averages...

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    When comparing all time greats, there is very little difference between them and it comes down to personal preference to many. For example : Glen McGrath is a more consistent bowler compared to Dale Steyn who could be cold on some days but Steyn could win matches on his day better than Pigeon...

    Better opener : Graeme Smith vs Sehwag

    Smith averages 40+ in 8/10 countries. Sehwag averages 40+ in 5/9 countries. Smith averages 39.3 in Aus and 36 in India. Sehwag averages 35 in Bangladesh, 27 in England, 25 in SouthAfrica and 20 in NewZealand.

    I rate Graeme Smith higher than Matthew Hayden as a test opener
