    Who is Asia's sixth greatest cricketer?

    Given that a wicket keeper is equivalent to 4 bowlers in impact (and a batting average of 57 on top of it), Sanga has to be the greatest cricketer ever, let alone the 6th greatest from SC. He hasn't dropped any catch in the cordon either, which strengthens his case.

    Head v Wade

    Head has dropped 0 catches as a wicket keeper. So Head > Wade.

    Better player : Bumrah or Headley ?

    While bowlers share the workload a bit more than batsmen on an average, they also tend to have shorter careers. Nearly always, an ATG batsman has a longer career than an ATG bowler. When an ATG bowler retires, you need to find a bowler of similar quality to maintain the team's standing in world...

    Better player : Bumrah or Headley ?

    Bumrah has dropped 0 catches in the cordon, so it's probably him.

    Better player : Bumrah or Headley ?

    Bumrah was better in his secondary skill so its him.

    Zaheer Vs Nehra

    Not a good comparison this. Assuming this is all about tests, Zaheer was a good bowler, though he does get over-rated at times. Nehra was a nothing bowler in the premier format of the game.

    Sachin Tendulkar vs Malcolm Marshall

    Benaud had a scuffle with @kyear2 back in the 80s. Kyear wanted all the 9 fielders placed in the cordon on a specific occasion. Benaud vehemently disagreed and thought it was against the spirit of the game.

    David Gower vs Virender Sehwag

    Between 7:00 PM local time and 9:00 PM local time on 17th March 1996, Gurusinha batted like a god.

    David Gower vs Virender Sehwag

    Both Gower and Sehwag were frauds. Neither could play spin bowling like Sidhu, field like Mahanama or play short delivery like Aravinda.

    Malcolm Marshall vs Jack Hobbs

    You can still contribute to your team even if you are not at your absolute best by being better than your replacement. That is what Wasim did outside his peak. I saw Marshall in the B&H odi series 1991-92 and the subsequent WC. He was done as a bowler and barely had any pace. Early retirement...

    Barry Richards vs Mike Procter

    Procter easily. With the ball he was in the ballpark of Richards with the bat. Then all the things he was capable with the bat.

    Cummins vs Virat kohli

    Think Cummins takes it, as he is unlikely to go through the precipitous declines that Kohli went through. Kohli vs Bumrah will be close as Bumrah is unfortunately not expected to have the career that Cummins is having.

    Mitchell Starc vs Jasprit Bumrah in limited overs

    Think Starc is the better ODI bowler because of his WC performances. I am voting Bumrah out of spite though due to a very obvious voting pattern.

    Was Dan Vettori better than the stats suggest

    Vettori was what @subshakerz thinks Jadeja is.

    Imran Khan vs Kapil Dev (ODIs)

    For lower middle order and lower order batsmen both SR and average are equally important. One could even argue that SR is more important. For top order batsmen(especially openers of that era), average is far more important. No one is rating Srikanth ahead of Greenidge or Haynes because he has...

    Imran Khan vs Kapil Dev (ODIs)

    No one is comparing them purely on their averages. There is also a small matter of 23 runs difference in their SR which is significant. Anyways, whatever we wanted to debate was already done in a similar thread about a year back, which I am unable to locate now.

    Imran Khan vs Kapil Dev (ODIs)

    Kapil at his peak between 1983-87 was like Mcgrath with the ball and Sehwag with the bat in ODIs. Think this is close, but will go with him.

    Is James Anderson an ATG test bowler?

    Ashwin has a 12 year period when he averages 27.84 with the ball outside India (37 matches). During this period, he also averages 24.94 with the bat away from home. He is close to an ATG bowler imo and clearly an ATG cricketer. Anderson is marginally a better bowler than Ashwin, marginally...
