    Murali vs Ashwin away from home

    Lol, Murali was definitely better away. Murali's workload is always greater, but it especially shows away where the captain is just shy to toss the ball much to Ashwin.

    Magic Johnson vs Larry Bird

    I think he was always more or less deified and because he is considered the great bridge player between Jordan and Lebron. Always thought Shaq at his peak was more unstoppable than Kobe, personally. His big Achlilles for me was lack of a mode when he wasn't taking over, he sort of just drifted...

    Murali vs Ashwin ( home Test bowling )

    Here's the stats filters for those who might have been a bit lazy to look it up. The whole reason I made this comparison is because of the theory of strike rate ascendancy, for your ace bowler. At home ace bowler for their team is what they certainly both were. Over the same length spell Ashwin...

    That would be ****ing despicable if true, but all of Curry, Embiid, and Edwards have non Nike deals.

    Fred Trueman vs Waqar Younis

    Yeah, the same. Only due to greater useful longevity of Truemam compared to Waqar.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Hedley Verity

    He plays good cirket.

    Olympic Basketball

    Literally anyone on their day. We've got too many iso players, not enough elite catch and shoot and swing the rock type guys, which is crucial in the international game. Curry is of course elite at that, but he's older, and also lacks size. KD could be crucial, if he goes back to his Warriors...

    When I access the site it states it’s “not secure”

    So you use it for masturbation then. You use it for masturbation.

    Murali vs Ashwin ( home Test bowling )

    You can't put that only down to Murali.

    The US team performance looking kind of dire, tbh. I don't know how I feel about the chances of a LeBron led team, in 2024.

    ***Official 2024 Olympics Thread***

    The Dutch child rapist pedophile got 1 year out of an already extremely lenient 4 year sentence, doesn't show remorse, even playing the victim in some interviews. It just rustles my jimmies that anyone thinks he should be representing their country. And not a pariah state like a Syria or...

    Rahul Dravid vs Shaun Pollock

    A slip catch does not equal a whole wicket worth of value that is being given, the bowler should obviously also be getting credit, and imo a lion's share of it. Then that doesn't take into account the replace-ability of one slip catcher to the next, and that difference of a really top tier...

    Murali vs Ashwin ( home Test bowling )

    Wanting to throw the question out there, because the numbers I saw back when I looked into this were really close.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Hedley Verity

    Yeah, because we speak about it as if it's some giant Achille's heel, when really it exceeds the expectations, and combined with his home dominance, shouldn't really be talked about as keeping him definitively out of the ranks of the greatest spinners of all time.

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Hedley Verity

    Oh yeah, most bowlers throughout history have a reduction in performance away from home so 30 is actually a better than an average bowler away from home ( especially spinners ).

    Sydney Barnes vs Imran Khan

    I mean, any delivery "ripped" with a lot of spin can dip or swerve due to Magnus effect. It can even drift upwards from its predicted low spin trajectory. This is all known science, and it's the main way that movement is obtained in baseball (they study the **** out of this stuff there with...

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Hedley Verity

    150 Test match wickets at 30 away from home isn't "bad" by any stretch. We just have crazy expectations. That is far above replacement level for a bowler. Then you have to include everything he does being one of the most dominant home bowlers in the history of the game.

    Gavaskar Vs S Pollock

    You just asked 2 different questions. Do you want greater cricketer, or only consider Gavaskar's batting and Pollock's bowling?

    Yet another to add to the long list supporting the view: 'There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.'
