    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    If Bradman isn't no 1, it isn't just a flag. It's ignored. Grace anywhere in the top 3 is fine. I don't include him, but I understand why others do.

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    Ashwin, Sangakkara. It's entirely possible that because he played primarily in that triangle close to home that he was viewed the same as those other two in his era? Could be that he wasn't the best of the all-rounders, wasn't the best bowler of the era? Did he have that signature series...

    Gillespie vs McDermott

    Don't know how the numbers measures up, but I recall McDermont rather favorably.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    If you're the best bowler in the world for 7 years in the flattest of eras, how are you disqualified from anything? I made an observation and I mentioned it, think that's still allowed. I made a couple others that I could share if you like.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    It's idiotic. He was the best bowler in the world, and greater than Jimmy Anderson would ever be. Hence why spread sheets would never be a good or sole way to rate cricketers.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    That Indian list was objectively bad, but that aside, yes he was the 3rd best spinner of all time, some might even argue higher. What would be instructive would be to see who was rated 4th. And alongside O'Reilly on literally all of those lists was a certain South African opener, and quite...

    Meaning?

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    Correct

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    I watched both, he basically said he was a below the threshold for wickets taken. So what's your point?

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    So it appears that O'Reilly is no longer being considered? Guess this is what happens when we resort to spread sheets.

    Marco Jansen vs Bruce Reid

    Reid just always looked so frail, like he could break down at any moment. Jensen looks physically stronger, hopefully he can maintain his fitness.

    Purdy still gets the big extension at the end of the season?

    More the latter than the former.

    Barkley for MVP? Think he's the best paler in the league right now. And Hurts isn't good, the Eagles need to keep running the ball to be viable.

    Formula 1

    It would be instructive to know if the Checo endorsement money is comparable to the monies lost from not winning the constructors. Don't see how he's kept next year, he's literally. He's literally awful at this point.

    Did Marshall and McGrath have it easier?

    So basically Imran would have had greater "score board pressure" than the West Indies. And by a larger margin than the WI had over Hadlee and NZ.

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    Yeah, anything has has Sachin as no. 1, is somewhat of a red flag in terms of quality. Grace fine, but Tendulkar is stretching it.

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    Just another topic where we shall agree to disagree. Don't see how a 7/8 is somehow the greatest insult, considering that where he primarily actually batted.

    Rank them : Donald, Imran and Akram

    Yes he played longer, yes he didn't have the best catching (not that you rate it that important otherwise). But bowling from the junk end? That's an excuse now?
