    Kapil Dev vs Ricky Ponting

    His record in Australia with the ball is good but to suggest they were always the second best team throughout his career is disingenuous. He has plenty of high points because he was a top player. But overall output matters. Someone with an away split of 26/33, having never been going at better...

    Kapil Dev vs Ricky Ponting

    Root has the raw production though. It's marquee performances away from home that lets him down a bit. Kapil has longevity, but didn't quite hit the production levels in terms of his prime or as a whole imo for him v Ponting to be a proper discussion.

    Kapil Dev vs Ricky Ponting

    Kapil's overseas batting average never got within 6 runs of his overseas bowling average. Yes there's context etc, but you can only go so far with someone who has that production. I think he fulfilled his potential with the ball. Batting wise perhaps not, but that is frequently the case with...

    Richie Richardson vs David Boon vs Alec Stewart vs Daryl Cullinan

    I think his reputation suffers disproportionately from Warne making him look a mug a few times. Very good player.

    Kapil Dev vs Ricky Ponting

    Ponting, not particularly close.

    Richie Richardson vs David Boon vs Alec Stewart vs Daryl Cullinan

    Richardson was amazing v pace. The other 3 would have been a good poll. Smith was good. Ill treated by England imo.

    Ambrose vs Johnson vs Broad - Who is the best bowler of great spells?

    In their ideal conditions makes it more plausible too because if it was just in general, it would have to Ambrose because he was capable of producing collapses on better batting tracks than Broad. Johnson very dependent on the southern hemisphere etc.

    Richie Richardson vs David Boon vs Alec Stewart vs Daryl Cullinan

    Think that would be my order too.

    Combining ODI and Test records, who are the 5 greatest cricketers ever?

    Yeah Botham's performance sustainability and record v WI both work against him. I think he was over bowled, but probably has to take some of the blame for his lifestyle.

    Jadeja is fortunate to miss this Test.

    Combining ODI and Test records, who are the 5 greatest cricketers ever?

    Botham 1977-1985 was better than Kapil in both disciplines. His batting especially. Explosive and with more flexibility. Didn't sustain his performance for as long, but hit a higher level over a long enough period of time.

    Richie Richardson vs David Boon vs Alec Stewart vs Daryl Cullinan

    Some 90s bats from 4 different countries.

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

    Both really. I don't think it's a terrible minefield but India got the ball talking and Australia had no answer. Didn't see the first innings.

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

    Famous innings on a rank turner. He is a decent spin hitter.

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

    Yeah he's a dodgy guy
  17. BazBall21

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

    I thought he was cleared in the end

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

    Vaughan is abrasively abrupt

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

    Think a less tentative batsman gets bat on that

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

    India definitely ahead now. Didn't see that coming when I woke up and it was the end of their innings.
