    the tactic to beating England is simple, get Root, and even that's failing this series

    I mean, I can make Bradman vs Hobbs, won't make that a valid thread.

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Ian Botham

    reason I've him over Spinners is I believe he is more threatening to the actual batters https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/51107.html?class=1;template=results;type=bowling;view=dismissal_summary...

    Graeme Smith vs Martin Crowe vs Rohan Kanhai

    Crowe is clear of both Smith and Kanhai, pretty easily in the case of Smith.

    I wonder why all the great ODI players happen to also be stellar test players... it's almost like having a strong base and core is not a negative.

    I mean yeah, he hardly faced the same number of ATG bowlers but he faced them on nightmare wickets where even decent bowlers would've ATG output, The best Australian player averaged 39 at the time...Hobbs averaged 58...while England was much tougher than Australia since mid 1890s to boot, we...

    LO pitches are flatter today then they were 20 years ago.

    I mean, what is to say a global skills and attitude hadn't been developed? Lamb, Boon, Gooch and so forth all learnt how to play one days and had a decade or so to figure it out before Viv and Kapil went ballastic, especially since the world cup was a spectacle already and there is no reason...

    Ian Botham vs Keith Miller

    I mean, his next 4 tests are on proper seamers so I don't expect it to stay above 47.5 and if I'm honest, considering how hopeless he was the last time he toured England, he'd honestly be lucky to average 46 if he plays all 5 tests in England

    like if the argument was they didn't know it in first year or so it would maybe make sense, them not realizing how to play ODI after 7-8 years of the format being around doesn't make sense. especially since the lads in 2007 T20 WC knew how to play it from day one, there wasn't some learning...

    I wish there was a basis for something like that beyond assumptions, I mean, it's basically the same as calling every man in 70s a clown as they couldn't figure out batting aggressively would help in a 60 over game.

    well, if being Bradman entails being twice as good as everyone else, then No one can be him. but if being Bradman entails being the GOAT in your format beyond the scope of any reasonable contention, Viv surely checks that.

    People knew what to do, they had people like Viv/Kapil/Abbas to emulate, they just weren't able to do it because it was a bowler dominated era.

    Ian Botham vs Keith Miller

    I hope he scores another hundred and has a 47-48 average at the end of the series, so when he goes to England in 2025 I'd get top tier entertainment, one way or the other

    Dravid also has 32 off of 73 against Kenya in 2003 world cup lol, It's just Dravid, Gavaskar and even someone as late as Imam Ul Haq are limited batters so don't play fast, and Gavaskar happened to have a defeatist mindset on top. like, in the same 36* match, Amiss smashed a 137 at 90+ sr and...

    by that logic, nobody actually ever knew how to play ODI because even as late as late 90s they played ODIs like this.
