    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Courtney Walsh

    30.7. We all know he is better than Lillee. Btw, Woakes' is 47.7 @Red_Ink_Squid

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Courtney Walsh

    For Ashwin it is 30.5 Walsh's is 27.8 Some other examples. Waqar 29.4 Lillee's is 40.7(after excluding 1 test in WI where he went wicketless). What is your take on Walsh > Waqar > Ashwin > Lillee ?

    Who is the Batting Equivalent of Jasprit Bumrah?

    Highly doubt this will happen as most Indians would have had him in ignore list by now.

    Who is the Batting Equivalent of Jasprit Bumrah?

    I will wait until Jasprit Bumrah retires to decide his batting equivalent.

    AB de Villiers vs Gordon Greenidge

    Greenidge getting over-rated here. Had the luxury to play 4-5 ATG bowlers less than Gavaskar and yet averaged like 6-7 runs less.

    Marshall vs Hadlee (overall cricketers)

    I wouldn't ignore Marshall's batting totally but Hadlee is easily a couple of tiers above as a lower order batsman. As pure bowlers, Marshall is ahead by a razor thin margin for me, but the margin is so small that even if Marshall was at Akram's level as a batsman(which he clearly isn't), I...

    Finals India lost between 2000-2005

    Australia had Healy followed by Gilchrist. Pakistan had Moin. Zimbabwe had Flower and NZ Parore. India had More, Karim, Mongia and occasionally Vijay Yadav. Then we had Dighe, Ratra etc. Dighe not able to clear the inner circle of fielders was one of the jokes of the 99-2000 season. You are...

    Finals India lost between 2000-2005

    It was Dighe of all people who scored 94* in that final. It was the only meaningful score in his ODI career. Also remained the highest score by an Indian wicket keeper in ODIs for a while. Remembering the 90s and early 2000s era when we used to be happy with mediocre wicket keeper batsmen...

    Ashwin v Laker v Verity v Grimmett

    Old farts can't even fart now for obvious reasons.

    Ashwin v Laker v Verity v Grimmett

    You may be right about some of your observations here. To balance it out, there is a poster who always votes a non indian player over an indian player in a comparison. I don't want to name him but his voting pattern is obvious. So an Indian always starts with one vote disadvantage in any...

    Better Batsman - Jadeja or Imran?

    This is something I agree too. There are enough instances of him showing up with the bat and the ball in the same series and sometimes same match. He was great with the ball and solid with the bat in the 82 Eng series for instance. Similarly in the India series post that where he scored a...

    Better Batsman - Jadeja or Imran?

    Jadeja's is classic cherry picking as well. When you talk about the peak of a great cricketer, there has to be some substance outside the peak as well. Like Ponting's from 2001-2007 or Sachin's from 1993-2011. It is fair to rate Imran's bowling peak too from 1980-88. For all these examples...

    Better Batsman - Jadeja or Imran?

    So he scored 1 half century with no hundreds in his first 25 tests (42 innings) and you have exactly taken out that part.

    We already have a thread on this. http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/threads/wasim-akram-vs-sunil-gavaskar.91245/

    Best bowler to average over 30 ?

    All of Bradman's test wickets were without any help from his fellow fielders. He probably thought his fielders were no good, and like Wasim decided to do it himself.

    Best bowler to average over 30 ?

    Since we have a Bradman vs Answer thread, I nominate Bradman as the answer to this thread.

    How does Ravindra Jadeja compare with Kapil Dev and Ian Botham ( Tests)

    Jadeja's beard is thicker than Botham's pubes, so its him.

    Ramiz Raja vs Sanjay Manjrekar

    They are both better off when they are just holding a mike in hand but not bringing their mouth anywhere near it

    Who is the greatest part time bowler of all-time?

    Doug Walters should win this easily. Garner should have been the best part time bowler ever if he took his batting more seriously.

    Sachin Tendulkar vs Brian Lara

    We already know that @honestbharani is from Port of Spain and @subshakerz is from Mumbai
