    Is SKY the new ABdV?

    Explosive batsman, legit fifth bowler and perhaps the best fielder ever vs a boring edgy hack

    Your best batsman coming in at 3 is such a myth

    Rarely mentioned among the most attacking cricketers of all time, but he clearly was.

    Your best batsman coming in at 3 is such a myth

    Thought I'd go thru the ICC all time highest rankings and see where that particular player spent the majority of their career. 1. Bradman (3) 2. Smith (4) 3. Hutton (open) 4. Hobbs (open) 5. Ponting (3) 6. May (4) 7. Sobers (6) 8. Sangakkara (3) 9. V.Richards (5) * 10. Walcott (5) * 11. Kohli...

    Your best batsman coming in at 3 is such a myth

    Thought i'd do a bit of a budget analysis of Australia's best and most prolific number 3s over time, and whether they were the best batsmen in the team during their era. Ricky Ponting: Ponting Spent a few tests at #3 in 1996 when Langer was out of the team, coming in behind Taylor/Slater...

    Smith v Kohli (test match batting)

    Hot take: it’s better to substantiate random claims with some logic

    How highly do you rate Gilchrist as a pure bat?

    Very very highly. Even if he wasn't a keeper, and I was picking a mythical all time team for Australia, I'd much rather have him in my side in the middle order than in the opposition having him in theirs.

    Cummins vs Bumrah

    One thing that's making this world shitter and shitter is people taking pot shots at people who want to make things better because they equate any view that's contrary to their own as hypocrisy and they can justify that opinion with a few oversimplified examples of behaviors. I care about...

    All-rounder XI vs Specialist XI

    Just to alleviate my Mon night boredom, I'm saying an all rounder has to average over 30 with the bat to qualify for the AR ATG XI. A batsman has to have taken zero wickets in his career to be a specialist. A keeper in the specialist XI has to average under 25 with the bat and a bowler under 15...

    All-rounder XI vs Specialist XI

    All 100% correct. He's the second batsman picked in any AT time even disregarding his bowling.

    DK Liliee vs Pat Cummins

    Pre balding long hair Lillee is still the coolest looking **** that's ever stepped onto a cricket field.

    Greater cricketer: Wasim Akram or Jacques Kallis

    Kallis was one of the most boring cricketers ever. Wasim wasn’t. So, Wasim

    All-rounder XI vs Specialist XI

    Knott averaged 33 with the bat and made 30 test 50s and 5 100s. The keeper in the specialist XI should be a gun keeper who was a very ordinary bat. Someone who never made 100

    Kapil vs Shaun Pollock in Tests

    If Kapil AND Pollock are both avail for an ind ATG XI, both easily make it, and improve the team considerably Gavaskar Sehwag Dravid Tendulkar Kohli Dhoni Kapil Pollock Ashwin Kumble Bumrah

    Kapil vs Shaun Pollock in Tests

    As a bowler Pollock has Kapil covered. Pretty comparable as batsmen with Kapil more explosive. Would probably depend on team make up if you could only select one of them as a final selection.
