    Is Viv Richards an Overrated Test Batsman?

    Well, I haven't given my opinion on Viv Richards in this thread so I'm not sure of what you're getting at with your first point. For the record, yeah, I didn't see much of him play but from what I've seen and heard, he is one of a number of batsmen who could be called 'the best after Bradman'...

    Is Viv Richards an Overrated Test Batsman?

    That may be, but imo that point can be made without the rubbishing of anyone who might dare to look at an average to form an opinion. The posts I singled out seem to suggest that there's a clear cut divide between the 'stats junkies' and the real cricket fans - but this is arguing against...

    Have to say, I find posts like this very irritating, not because I make my decisions based on only stats or only on what I've seen, but because they drip with condescension and elitism and often it can be a method of shutting down discussion. It's not inconceivable that people might rate Viv...

    ***Official*** Spot-Fixing Scandal

    What would it take to bring cricket back to Pakistan

    Haha, you think I didn't see that? Notice I asked how the Pakistani government was relevant? The article made no mention of the Pakistani government. It seems like a bizarre thing to mention in this thread.

    What would it take to bring cricket back to Pakistan

    Haha what? That's relevant, how? And how does that impact donating to help Pakistani people?

    Not your list of Great Cricketers

    The small matter of eight Test centuries, over 5000 runs and one of the few allrounders in history to have a batting average>bowling average as well as being one of the most exciting cricketers ever might have just a tiny bit to do with it.

    Greatest cricketers since 1980

    Fair enough not having Muralitharan in Level 1 - he hasn't even played Tests yet.

    Broad cops up a bit of trouble.

    Yeah, no defending this at all. Deserves a ban of some sort imo.
