    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    England coming to Pakistan/UAE with best team in the world tag then getting smashed to bits is always funny.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of West Indies (& Guyana) 2022

    Fair enough though Garner and MH are closer to MM and Curtly then Roberts and Walsh for me but this works too.

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    Bairstow can still end up with 8k test runs @ 40 if he can carry this for couple of years

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of West Indies (& Guyana) 2022

    A tier below I think holder is in the tier of Collins ,Collymore Jerome Taylor etc I believe he benefited from improvement in test match pitches in westindies in last 5 years.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of West Indies (& Guyana) 2022

    Where does feature in a top 10 windies pacer list? This is how I will go. Marshall Ambrose Garner Holding Roberts Walsh These 6 are definitely ahead I will put Roach in the next tier with Hall, Bishop, and Croft which surely makes him a top 10 off all time.

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    Mitchell could end up as being the biggest out of nonwhere success in test cricket. A 30 something with an ok FC record is the last person you expect to start @ test cricket and immediately start averaging 60's most likely laws of averages will eventually catch up with him but the more I watch...

    Windies have been low key formidable at home for good 5 years now.

    Good to see Jonny has ditched conventional test match batting for crash bang approach will help him average 10+ more imo.

    *Official* Australia tour of Sri Lanka 2022

    Enjoying the development of this new SL side some exciting prospects in this still far cry from the 96-15 era where they always had a very strong core but its shaping up in to something interesting.

    In terms of aesthetics, what is the finest test innings you have seen?

    I love going back to YouTube and watch some of Azharuddin it's a shame ge turned corrupt midway his career was well on his way to be 4th maybe 5th best depending where Kohli ends up indian batsman off all time.

    Bairstow vs Buttler

    Nah I still believe his approach/mindset to long format cricket is wrong he likes to bat like a standard player and his game suffers be it tests or FC. Had Gilchrist looked to bat at a SR of 50 odd in tests I am sure he would have averaged 10 runs less, there is a certain batting tempo for each...

    Bairstow vs Buttler

    Both Butler and Bairstow are massive underachievers in tests because for some reason they tried to play majority of their test cricket like a proper test batsman when in reality had they taken the Gilchrist approach of batting at 80+ SR they would have averaged good 6-8 runs higher.

    *Official* Australia tour of Sri Lanka 2022

    Nissanka could be the next great SL batsman going by his FC record and promising start to his career.

    Where will Kohli end up among Asian batsmen?

    Haha yeah that a big black mark on both but on pure batsmanship both were pure artists.

    Where will Kohli end up among Asian batsmen?

    Pretty good list though Sachin is tops for me I find it difficult to separate Dravid , Sanga also Miandad and YK are dead even for me .Nice to see Hanif and Arvinda this high both get to fly under the radar a bit .Salim malik & Azharuddin were also couple of blokes who I thought were terrific...

    In terms of aesthetics, what is the finest test innings you have seen?

    Not really he would look awkward and sometimes ugly but once he's in for an hour or 90 minutes and has 20-30 on the board would suddenly transform in to a beast with some gorgeous stroke play, his backfoot drives and especially stroke play vs spin would be sublime to the eye

    Where will Kohli end up among Asian batsmen?

    I don't know Kohli crazy fitness regime may have contributed in his decline maybe the best fitness regime for a batsman is still just old school running laps of the ground in high volumes. I know someone who regularly has dinners with Misbah and he said Misbah eats like crazy never takes bread...

    Bryan young vs Mark Ramprakash

    Bryan Young was a very handsome bloke or maybe it was Willie Watson not very clear with my memory

    Rahul Dravid vs Javed Miandad

    Dravid but it's not by a lot. JM benefited from home umpiring but think when travelling he also copped a few rough ones as home teams looked to get even for the favourable support he got when they played him in Pakistan. It probably does not even out but it did impact his final numbers by some...

    Where will Kohli end up among Asian batsmen?

    He is somewhere close to Sehwag right now with another good run he will reach Dravid/Sunny G tier I feel Sachin tier is out of his reach however will end as a top5 sub cont bat off all time. My current rankings Sachin Gavaskar/ Sanga/David Younis/Miandad Inzi/Sehwag /Kohli Mahela/laxman/Mo Yo...
