    **Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

    I really don't care if India wins this series or not. I just want Boom to play all 5 tests and bowl like a champ.

    The next Trams-Tasman series will be interesting.

    Happy for Boom Boom. The only player I root for :)

    Well....this was expected... Just praying that captaincy doesn't mess up Bumrah's bowling. Forget the series.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Windies lost to SL 3-0, but still Smith's performances go against him because Aus never won against either England or India.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    79 mph is not really pace bowling, although Vaas was quality no doubt.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    I might go with Smith 2017 over his 2019 batting in Ashes, purely from a technical perspective only (ignoring the series pressure and nature of rivalry). Technical adjustments to lateral movement would be required in the UK as well for an Aussie batsmen, but the bounce and carry would be...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    And let's not give Viv extra points all the time for not wearing a helmet. He was the greatest player of fast bowling no doubt, but not wearing a helmet was purely his discretion without being forced upon him.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    There it confirms my speculation that runs against pace bowling count more than spin. Hence, Smith 2019 Ashes > Lara 2001 in SL

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Are we pretending that the recent NZ series never happened? :ph34r: Anyways, ignoring the horror show that just concluded, I do agree with the above.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    How can you be certain that Smith batted without pressure in 2017? Are you implying that winning in Australia in 79 for Windies was bigger than winning in India for Aus? Let's not forget that adapting to Australian conditions for a West Indian batsman is relatively easier (due to similar pitches...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    It's a decent attack. Very good bowlers but not in the same tier as Broad/Anderson or Flintoff/Jones. Yes, if Trueman was playing in that series, then maybe I would see this differently. I remember watching Viv's 291 long back on youtube, the bowlers kept bowling short after short even when Viv...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Underwood was quality, Snow was OK that series. Willis was quality but flat pitches reduced his effectiveness. England prepared proper seaming wickets in 2019 which got Cummins a whopping 29 wickets in 5 tests. I agree with Lara's performances against SL and Aus topping Smith in Ashes '19, but...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Hell no! That 76 attack barely generated any lateral movement. 2019 bowling unit was miles better.

    There needs to be a third option - "Seriously?"

    I think after the NZ debacle, Gambhir subjected some players to brutal punishment in nets by making them face Shami in full throttle without any protection.

    I rate Younis Khan above Kohli when it comes to playing any kind of lateral movement, be it turn, seam movement or swing. But yes, Kohli is a greater cricketer, which brings me to that subshakerz thread. Kohli is the undisputed king of white ball cricket though.

    Kohli is an ATVG at best.

    Is there a difference between a greater cricketer and a better cricketer?

    Nice nit-picking, you can have a gala time given India's recent performance against NZ. How about we compare their numbers against Australia, England both home and away?
