    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    He gets half a dozen only if we include one of his hundreds in backyard cricket. In the real world, the beta AB barely managed 5 in a winning cause in Tests. That's one less than Rahane who already has 6 in half a decade :laugh:.

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    Wake me up when you find a third match-winning Test hundred by Border during 1978-1991 in the real world :D. I think it should be pretty clear to everyone by now. If Waugh was better than Lara/SRT in the 90s because he "won" more Tests, then Border must have been one of the worst Test batsmen in...

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    In the real world, Border had 2 match-winning hundreds from 1978-1991. Batsmen all round the world look at him bat and do the exact opposite if they want to win games :happy:.

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    He "won" Tests as he played for a far better side. Just like someone like Greenidge "won" far more Tests than Border. In a weaker side, he'd pretty much be a right-handed Chanderpaul.

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    I generally post in the draft threads tbh. One of my go to strategies in drafts has always been to avoid picking red link merchants and grafters like Border/Chanderpaul/Waugh like plague which has served me pretty well :D.

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    Tbf Chanderpaul would've been a more apt choice to write the foreword for Waugh's book. Being a fellow red ink merchant and all. I see the canard about Tendulkar not moving from no. 4 being spread again. Tendulkar batted at five in a decent number of innings averaging 65+. Had he been a not out...

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    Against non-minnows, Mark Waugh scored 7939 runs in 208 innings (RPI of 38.16). Against non-minnows, Steve Waugh scored 10381 runs in 255 innings (RPI of 40.7). That's less than 3 runs more per innings compared to M. Waugh who was considered an under-achiever. He was basically an upmarket...

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    Waugh averaged a miserable 25 in 4th innings of Tests. So much for him being a "clutch" player.

    Williamson vs Root

    Against non-minnows, Root averages 51.28, KW averages 47.41. Against Top 6 opposition, Root averages 50.08, KW averages 41.97. In away/neutral games against non-minnows, Root averages 46.38, KW averages 41.73 (Against Top 6 sides it's 43+ for Root vs 39+ for KW). Root has a peak rating of...

    Waqar Younis vs Brett Lee (ODIs)

    Waqar post 1994 in Tests against Top 8 sides: 130 wkts in 43 games @ 31.59 with a SR of 57.2 and 1 5-fer. Waqar post 1994 in ODIs against Top 8 sides: 212 wkts in 135 games @ 25.87 with a SR of 30.7 and 6 5-fers! Seems that the drastic drop in numbers was restricted to just Tests. His ODI...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    We could play a bowling line up of Ashwin/Jadeja/Kuldeep/Bumrah/Bhuvi with Bhuvi having the worst average (26.09).

    Name an International Player of any International Team you would draft for your team

    Rabada in Tests could probably help us win series in AUS/SA. Buttler would solve our middle-order problems in ODIs. Can't think of an obvious upgrade in T20Is.

    Younis Khan vs Javed Miandad

    Miandad slightly ahead as a batsman and well ahead as a coach and motivator :ph34r:

    Best ever all round ODI performance

    Kris Srikkanth's 5/27 and 70 against NZ deserves a mention. Interestingly he has more ODI 5-fers than Holding/Imran/Marshall/Lilllee/Roberts/Warne/Walsh/Kapil/Botham :laugh:. 1st ODI, New Zealand tour of India at Visakhapatnam, Dec 10 1988 | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo
