    Best individual years from a cricketer

    This is incorrect. Geff Noblet took 282 first-class wickets @ 19.26.

    Joel Garner vs Waqar Younis

    I don't think he should be, as Waqar in the first half of his career was more destructive than Wasim at any time in his career. But if you listen to players from the 80s and 90s, a lot of them would say Wasim was the best bowler they faced, but not many say that about Waqar.

    Joel Garner vs Waqar Younis

    Two outstanding but very different bowlers who both had a great yorker and who are both somewhat overshadowed by colleagues (Marshall and Akram) in modern day retrospective common consensus. Who was the better of the two?

    Best individual years from a cricketer

    To look at W.G. Grace's dominance another way, these batsmen had scored over 5,000 runs in first class cricket at an average of over 20 by the end of the 1873 season: W.G. Grace 10,669 runs @ 61.51 with 38 centuries. Harry Jupp 9,987 runs @ 24.53 with 8 centuries William Beldham 7,043 runs @...

    Best individual years from a cricketer

    No you couldn't be more wrong here. The true class of Grace shows through when you compare his performances season by season against his leading contemporaries. When he began playing first class cricket, the other leading batsmen were Robert Carpenter, Tom Hayward and Richard Daft. Their career...

    Who was the better bowler?

    He got Brian Lara and Mohammad Yousuf out four times each, plus Shivnarine Chanderpaul and VVS Laxman out three times each. These are not terrible players of spin.

    Battle of flat track bullies - Hayden vs Sehwag

    Yes, Hayden is your archetypal flat track bully. Sehwag was not a FTB at all, he was a phenomenal player of spin and a poor player of swing.

    Viv Richards vs Herbert Sutcliffe

    Viv played more positively than Sehwag or Gilchrist?
  13. a massive zebra

    Viv Richards vs Herbert Sutcliffe

    This is completely wrong. Sutcliffe did pass 500 runs in a series multiple times, for instance 734 runs in the 1924-25 Ashes and 513 runs against South Africa in 1929.

    Garry Sobers vs Brian Lara?

    It's misleading to call India and Pakistan minnows in Sobers era. Pakistan's record in Tests involving Sobers is a very competitive won 3 lost 4. Fazal Mahmood, the godfather of Pakistani pace bowling, played in all WI vs Pakistan Tests involving Sobers, taking 41 wickets @ 26. Five of India's...

    Test batsmen and bowlers peaks. Criteria: At least 5 years and at least 40 innings

    Bradman hit six sixes in his Test career, but hit four sixes in a single innings of 128 vs Victoria in 1934, four sixes in his innings of 369 vs Tasmania in 1936 and ten sixes in just three overs during his 22 ball century in a village game in 1931.

    Battle of flat track bullies - Hayden vs Sehwag

    Sreesanth wasnt that bad of a bowler, he was just an immoral sellout.
  17. a massive zebra

    Rank Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, Kevin Pietersen and Michael Clarke.

    Test batsmen and bowlers peaks. Criteria: At least 5 years and at least 40 innings

    Who? Initially I thought you meant Kane Williamson, but those are not his stats in England.
  19. a massive zebra

    Test batsmen and bowlers peaks. Criteria: At least 5 years and at least 40 innings

    It's pretty weird that Vaas generally did relatively poorly in traditionally seam bowler friendly conditions and very well in seam bowling graveyards.
