    Cummins vs Rabada

    Umm he already had an atg series down under in 2016. India is valid though.

    Cummins vs Bumrah vs Rabada

    This. And against opponents Hadlee and Marshall had in common Marshall was better vs Pak Eng Ind Hadlee wins vs Aus. Hadlee played vs great WI teams (10 tests) but he also played vs minnowesque SL (6 tests). Hadlee being above Marshall though, isn't outside the realm of possibilities. But...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    Yeah this. His wpm would have likely suffered but coming on 1st change behind Ambrose and Bishop vs the teams we actually played that 20.94 average isn't moving much, nor is his SR.

    Ranking England's Post-War Spinners

    It isn't up for debate, it's Underwood. Even allowing for some of the messed up wicket he played on at home, the man was solid everywhere vs everyone, with the notable exception of the WI. But that's ok, even the two GoATs have places and oppostion they sucked against. And even sucking vs...

    Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Harry Brook vs Kamindu Mendis

    Going with Brook. Why? He bats lower in the order. Then imo these are the current testing bowling: India home/away (more so at home ) Wi home (with Seales/Roach/Shamar) Rsa home Eng home Australia home/away NZ home SL home So far I've only Mendis amongst those doing well in England, Brook in NZ...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    Yes and no. Here's why. Let's say he plays until around early 1995 (he last played for Natal in 1996). Between his actual retirement in 1991 and early 1995 at age 36 we would have played: 1 test RSA (h) 5 test Aus (a) 3 test Pak (h) 1 test SL (a) 5 test Eng (h) 3 test Ind (a) 2 test NZ (a)...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    See, Holding and Roberts above Marshall is misleading. Marshall had one bad series in Asia (India )in his debut series playing for the 2nd WI team (the main team was playing WSC) . Otherwise, he was always great in the 4 other series he played there. Note, that he never played vs SL aka the...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    I dont know if you know/recall this but one of the reasons for Marshalls early retirement was typical WI politics. The thought process was once Viv retired, I believe Haynes (Bajan just like Malcolm) was supposed to be in line to be captain. As you know, the captaincy went to Richie. Plus...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

    That's my biggest gripe with Bumrah ie his durability. Why rest him?? Oh because he may get injured. No. To be the goat, he needs to take care of himself and power through. Now if India somehow win 2 more and are 3-1 up going into the last test, fine. Ditto if they're 1-3 down. Otherwise, he...

    In other news, Bumrahs average dips below 20. 19.96...phenomenonal!!!

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    We will see. Rsa batting still leaves a lot to be desired...

    Most popular cricketer : Bradman vs Richards vs Sachin

    Indians already consider Bumrah their best bowler ever or the best bowler ever in cricket? The former is reasonable, the latter is absurd at this point in his career.

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    Makes perfect sense actually we've seen a few teams fold for under 50. Then at the other end, teams pile up massive scores in no time. We see NZ crushing India, and they themselves being trounce by England.

    Which test team is currently the best in 2024?

    See here we go again, England are just about to finish off NZ, who just came off sweeping India and i give India very little chances of winning in NZ. And England just lost to Pakistan who were swept by Bangladesh who just drew away to WI who themselves drew away to Australia. I say all this to...

    Lol lol Trump likely just read up on Sachin to appease his audience, let's be real.

    On the other hand, anyone who watches football/soccer knows who Messi is and the following for football is much greater than cricket. And with MJ it's no contest, the guy is huge in Asia, Africa the Americas everywhere even though Basketball isn't as followed.

    Outside of cricketing circles hardly. Imo, he's not on the same level globally as the Messis, Jordan's etc.

    McGrath vs Jack Hobbs

    It's not a weakness because Hadlee and Imran played against those same batting lineups. And they weren't better tested either, a foreign fast bowler in the 80s away to Pakistan was enough of a test as anyting else. Ditto India. And you need to admit, Sachin wasn't completely flawless himself...

    Most popular cricketer : Bradman vs Richards vs Sachin

    Sachin. For obvious reasons. You can't compare his fan base to any other sports person quite frankly, with the exception of international football (soccer ) players and also someone like Michael Jordan.
