    Pick the bowler ideally suited to dismiss these bats

    He played the ball pretty late.

    Pick the bowler ideally suited to dismiss these bats

    Or Roberts.

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Yes he thinks he is underrated as a bat and overrated as bowler. I have the opposite views lol. He rates him no.3 AR the same as I do.

    Ranking the Auxiliary skills in test cricket

    ...three, they are more important than a no.8. if it's one, then the no.8 is more important. Yes Cummins at 24 is worth a few more catches. Kallis and Pollock aren't at the same level of secondary skills. Why are all great teams a consideration? Why not average teams? Anyways all great teams...

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Looks like Kimber rates Imran batting as the best secondary skill of all-time and calls Kallis bowling overrated @kyear2

    I will admit I may be too tough on Root by considering him an ATVG. Let's see.

    Pick the bowler ideally suited to dismiss these bats

    Not looking for the best bowler, but pick a bowler not from that bats era who has the unique skillset to dismiss these bats. ABD Greg Chappell Sobers Steve Smith Kallis Joe Root Gavaskar

    Are you comparing one 5th bowler and no.8 to an entire slip cordon?

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Lol I find it interesting Kyear admits Imran is better but won't actually vote for him in the poll. Quite telling.

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    If Imran per test workload is higher and he had a sufficiently long career, which he did, then Kallis having a higher cumulative workload is irrelevant. Because what matters is how good you were on an average test as an AR. Otherwise you might as well argue Kapil Dev was a better AR than Keith...

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    ...reached 100 tests? Akram maybe? Imran career sample is pretty much in line with fast pacers of his era. I do think if doctors had managed his shin injury better he would have crossed 100 easily though. It's simply unreasonable to expect fast bowlers to reach anywhere near Kallis number of...

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    ...that long a period except Sobers. It's quite simple for me. Imran had a full career duration and sample size for a Frontline fast bowler. Kallis had the same for a batsman. Imran was a good lower order bat. Kallis was a 5th bowler overall,often used as 3rd or 4th. Imran was captain for...

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    If you regularly keep your bowling below a certain threshold yeah you can sustain it with a longer batting career and with a higher output. It's not nearly as impressive as sustaining a higher bowling load as a pure Frontline pace bowler while batter and captain even for a shorter period though.

    The value of ATG specialist bowlers vs bowling AR's/bowlers who can bat (picking the strongest all time XI)

    Blah blah. Dude you should have never admitted to have made an ATG XI with the sole purpose of excluding Imran because you don't like how others rate him. There isn't a recovery from that, sorry.

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Ok but Kallis only had a longer career as such because of being a batter and it's not right to compare bats and fast bowler career samples. And Imran was captain for a decade. With that load added on top of bowling and batting, comfortably ahead of Kallis.
  17. subshakerz

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Yes but not per match. Imran's load is more. And we can't compare batter career with fast bowler career. Agreed? Massive disagree here. A captain has to keep changing fields, in Imran's case scold fielders who are dawdling, think of tactics on the fly, and then off field has to deal with man...

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    We don't need to over think it. On primary, Imran is simply better as a bowler than Kallis as a bat. And their secondary levels are close and more debatable. And on tertiary, slips and captaincy can be argued separately. Overall, Imran is clearly a better cricketer.

    The value of ATG specialist bowlers vs bowling AR's/bowlers who can bat (picking the strongest all time XI)

    ...but you admit it's not an authority. Don't bring it. Yes, I said you are biased (something you accused most of this board of, being tribal) and you think that means racist. Whatever my comments are on Ambrose and Kallis, I never said it's my duty to upgrade Imran. You lied, please apologize.

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Bowling is simply a more intense workload for the same time. And he had the load of captaincy as well
