    @subshakerz as I said, I would locate it for you.

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    He batted at five a grad total of four innings in four matches, the same amount of matches he batted at 9. He batted at 6 less than he batted at 8, and way less than he batted at 7. So somehow he was better suited and test standard no. 6, but batted there the least during his career...

    And that belief is based on what? Your wishing it to be so? Hadlee doesn't appear in XI'a as it's competitive. Warne, Marshall and Wasim appear most of them, leaving one spot and quite a bit on worthy candidates. And he does appear in lists, Hadlee is a very highly rated cricketer. And...

    Did Marshall and McGrath have it easier?

    Before I start with the highlighted point. With regards to better support, all I'm saying is that there's no guarantee either way. But he's sure as hell not hitting that wpm or overall today with high level support. He also was pretty decently aided by having more minnows than the average ATG...

    Did Marshall and McGrath have it easier?

    And what's the origin or source of Murali's greatness. His greatest claim to be the greatest. 800 wickets. And no, don't think we can definitively say what his average would have been, but for sure we can say that the number would have been less. And despite the negative of only having Vaas...

    Could Murali had got the wpm that he has, the number of wickets that he has, bowling with a stronger unit?

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    Do you think he, was a test standard quality no 6, for the most part of his career? If you were putting together a team, not ATG or anything of the sort, a test franchise team. Would you feel comfortable batting him consistently at 6? Was that the best pot for him and the team? And if you...

    This is my problem with you. You argue out of both sides of your mouth. I raised that exact point to you a few months ago and you seriously denied it. I said that Imran wasn't unanimously seen as the best all rounder of the big 4, and that in the beginning Botham was clearly seen (correctly I...

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    Just because they were worst players in the era who were in and out of teams and we're possibly seen as below test standard, doesn't make that the standard of the era. The entire WI batting lineup is ****, is that the standard, or an acceptable one? Because someone can make the current WI...

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    I'm talking about quality. And I would feel short on batting if he was my no. 6. I feel the same way with Jadeja, he's best suited at 7 or 8. Then again, I don't know why I'm arguing he batted way more at 7 and 8 than he did at 6, and the vast majority at 6 was when he was no longer the same...

    Richard Hadlee vs Ian Botham

    Really not going to get into this with you again. It's noted and I believe accepted by most that Dev, Botham and some would argue Procter were better quality bats than Imran. Especially Beefy, and he batted primarily at 6 and a decent amount at 7, and Dev spent more time at 7 and 8. Not to...

    So no more "score board pressure" than Pakistan and Imran would have had then?

    There's nothing I said that wasn't true. As I also said, I don't doubt he wasn't a great player. But that excuse is bullshit. There's the pretense that the cricket community could only pay attention to one team at a time? Wasim had no issues getting attention, neither did Waqar. Everyone...

    Was it that they were especially good at it, or did it to a greater degree. In scope and extreme.

    Rank them : Donald, Imran and Akram

    I would still acknowledge his skill. To a question regarding a county game where he admittedly ****ed up the ball, his retort was that no one else manged to utilize it until he came back on. While that was ridiculous to an extent it was also true. But it's also one of the reasons I look at...

    Who was the top 5 in terns of batting average? And the numbers?

    McGrath & Lillee vs Donald & Steyn vs Imran & Akram

    Yeah, when he can no longer argue, he just stops responding.

    Was about 80 for the period, so yeah. He didn't play nearly every match
