    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Ricky Ponting is by far the most beloved cricketer in CC. He is considered here just marginally below the tier of Sachin & Lara in spite of the fact that Ponting was way below mediocre against turning ball and just above mediocre when it comes to facing leather movement...

    Since we indulge a lot on conditions and how players we choose should be based on that, here are 3 different Indian teams for 3 different conditions. Not capable of doing the same for other countries, any attempt is welcome. Turning Tracks Sunil Gavaskar Virendra Sehwag Rahul Dravid Sachin...

    Very creative indeed. 8 then huh! That includes what? Afganisthan, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe...list just goes on and on. And he only failed in S.A, Eng and N.Z ? No need to bring Sachin-Dravid into this. Name one other Indian batsman of good reputation who averages below 30 in these 3 countries and...

    Which Indian players were unlucky not be given a consistent chance?

    Utpal Chatterjee, was clearly the best left arm off spinner in his era, far better than raju, joshi, Kulkarni, sangvi and few others who got many more chances than him during that period. Did play against him few times. Was also a very handy batsman. Tough to believe that he never played tests...

    Nobody can deny the fact that he was a monster in conducive environment. But that alone can't take him far. In your earlier post, you tried to establish that he was not a home bully, and in that process suppressed and manipulated facts, that's why I commented. It's very scary for me to see him...

    Jacques Kallis vs Rahul Dravid vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Dravid better than Sanga ? it should be Dravid-Kallis-Sanga. In fact, it would have been better if Ponting's name was included in this instead of Sanga. But I guess, most here believe Ponting belongs closer to Sachin-Lara than Kallis-Dravid. It's not correct though...

    Most Underrated Cricketers in Cricket Chat

    Kallis not sure, I would say Dravid is a bit underated here. Respected, yes, but underrated. Followed lots of Dravid-Ponting debate here and CC seems to have established daylight between the two. In reality though, who should be chosen depends entirety on the surface. In turning or swinging...

    So what you are basically saying is, he couldn't score when the balls were moving and couldn't apply himself when the balls were not moving...that itself kind of sums up entire phenomenon called Sehwag outside Sub-continent...

    You are on a hard mission mate. You want to prove he isn't a home bully, and you put his performance in Pakistan, how different was Multan from his home? Point out his average in sub continent and outside sub continent, write down his performance in SENA, all his double and triple hundreds came...

    Ambrose, I don't know, may be rated higher, but McGrath almost always gets a nod ahead, when it comes down between the two in atg sides...bit baffling really.

    Most Underrated Cricketers in Cricket Chat

    Not solely as a bowler actually, more as an all rounder, a no. 7 kind of...see Kallis batting at 6 in many of these sides, Gilly at 7, wonder why not Gilly at 6 and Pollock at 7...at least in some of them. Kallis at 6 as a batsman is bit of a waste, and not sure if he can get good players out at...

    Interested to know, who were those far worse players than Sehwag and Hayden you have in mind that scored runs against that kind of a bowling line up in a consistent basis?
