    Jasprit Bumrah vs James Anderson

    I would argue for both Walsh and Pollock over him. And even in those records, against the only teams with competent batting his best average was 27, and averaged 30 vs the other 2.

    Gilchrist Vs Donald

    He's a slam dunk for the team partially because of Warney, and we know how good he was with him. Anyone else and there's a discussion. But when I hear stuff like 3rd name in the sheet, I think that's where it's taken a tad bit too far. Knott has him beat on keeping ability while being a...

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Not only remembered, but watched some long form highlight clips and read match reports. Even in some highlights you get mentions of stuff like, "he holds onto this one", referencing previous drops Again, you're the peer ratings guy. Is it possibly that he was that great and it was somehow...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs James Anderson

    How was he when conditions weren't as helpful?

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    That's extremely far fetched. And if that was the case, that speaks more to the selectors than him.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Because he wasn't? I'm lost. He wasn't tidy behind the stumps, and he had drops. While not being nearly as tested with the quality spinners Gilly stood up to.

    Gilchrist Vs Donald

    Oh definitely. He played in the same era as Punter, who's downgraded by many because of said era. Not to add coming in much lower in the order, often with no pressure and a green light to attack. He's a little over rated as a batsman, but he's become under rated with the gloves to some...

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Gilly was an excellent keeper.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs James Anderson

    Longevity alone can't make someone ATG. There must be a certain level of quality there.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Taylor over Knott wasn't a bold take, Ames didn't especially have a great record vs his one valid opponent of his time, but sure. But he wasn't nearly on the same level as Gilly.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    But Knott is a full on all rounder for me tbh. And without doubt the 2nd best wicketkeeper batsman of all time.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    First off, that discussion highlighted a lot, and not much of it positive tbh. Anyone who watched those guys with the gloves and says Flower was better, loses any credibility. The rest of the discussion, from the very begining really, wasn't much better.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs James Anderson

    If one wants to wait to say that one has had a better career, then fine. But there's absolutely no doubt who is the better bowler. Sorry, this isn't remotely close.

    Barry Richards vs George Headley vs Graeme Pollock

    And one makes exceptions for special scenarios. He didn't get injured or banned. His country (justifiably) was banned from international sport. He has performances over the course of a decade, in 4 tests, 5 tests that were later demoted from tests, and 5 that included all the test players...

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    It's one single person, in the grand scheme of things, does it matter? Would be interesting to hear the rationale though.

    Which current players are/will be ATGs?

    I have between 35 and 40 ATGs, so way below the standard of GOAT contenders. I only have 8 of those.

    Just How Good Was Barry Richards?

    Are you serious? Are you so singularity focused on one player that he has to come up in every discussion? It's either Lara is crap or Imran is God. Imran over course if his career was not great in Australia, one series doesn't erase that. I'm not answering any more. Questions about Imran...

    Where will Steve Smith end up being ranked?

    So very true.

    Barry Richards vs George Headley vs Graeme Pollock

    Soni wonder at which point does the cut off appear. 4, 6, 18, 20?

    Kane Williamson vs Everton Weekes

    Not by me, so 🤷🏽‍♂️
