    DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

    ...started relatively slowly, averaging an adjusted 39.62 up to the end of 1999. The 21st century, for South African cricket at least, became Kallisball as he averaged 54.32 (58.54) from 133 matches and unlike his great contemporaries Ricky Ponting and Sachin Tendulkar he displayed no prolonged...

    4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

    Still has to take 300 odd wickets before we change it from Kallisball tbh

    Tendulkar is selfish

    ...at his peak to deliver India's first ever series win in SA. Instead, it ended up a draw because India didn't quite have the bowlers to close it out and had a really stupid captain at the helm. The kallisball game wouldn't have been the kallisball game if India had an ATG fast bowler in the side.

    During his heyday, Sobers was bracketed with Ali and Pele in the same GOAT discussions. Perhaps because they were contemporaries, but more so because they went beyond their boundaries - a crucial criteria for attaining greatness.

    Afaic Bradman is in his own category relative to other sportsmen. Only person remotely close would've been Wilt b4 the nba literally created rules to curtail his dominance

    Despite Sir Garry's status as the greatest pre-Kallisball allrounder, he is never in the sporting GOAT discussions with the likes of Pele, Bolt, Nicklaus, Federer, Jordan etc., while Bradman is often mentioned as a contender.

    **** does this mean Root might eventually start converting?

    The 'real' Steven Smith question...

    ...months prior to his recall where I think he made 7 fifties and 0 tons. That's the only run like that though in his career so far though, even his early FC career he was going at a 1:1 ratio and he was not out/last man out in over half the fifites he didn't convert *and he couldn't play...

    You do understand why he was constantly playing and missing, yes? It wasn't an accident.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    ...that was set for him Today, 3-4 boundary riders and hardly any catchers around the bat. Gift. Similar to what Dhoni did to Kallis in the Kallisball Test in 2011 Cape Town. Kallis was on one leg and it was spinning viciously and SA were 5 or 6 down but Dhoni decided to take away the catches &...

    World Cup win vs Away series wins

    ...lost the 2015 semi, I was disappointed but it was nowhere near the frustration I felt when we pissed away a series win at Capetown in the Kallisball game. The 2011 wc win is still kinda fresh, and it had the story of everyone wanting Tendulkar to finally win it. 2015 didn't have that same...

    ...is better because eventually, only the intelligent ones or the fringe fans from other countries are the ones who are going to go on about Kallisball or Bradman. If its a popularity contest, Indian players are going to win every time and their fans will let you know their opinions, but in...

    Kallis is definitely my favourite ATG cricketer. I'm not biased enough to really believe he was the absolute best though. :(
