    2nd Match - Bangladesh v India

    The difference is that Hridoy played to save an actual collapse while Babar was safeguarding them from an imaginary collapse (he's only safeguarding his No.1 spot in reality)

    Peak Bumrah vs Peak Steyn

    Bumrah is more skilled but Steyn was freakish. As Jarrod Kimber said, Dale Steyn is the most efficient killing machine in cricket history.

    Group A - Bangladesh, India, New Zealand, Pakistan

    Sometimes you just have to miss out, you're unfortunate. It's a part and parcel of the game. No one in the top 4 could be dropped. And I completely believe that Gill deserves it. He's the best new-gen ODI batter by a mile. The only other guy who could've gotten it is Shreyas Iyer and we...

    Geoffrey Boycott v Clive Lloyd

    I just wish we got to see more of Rabada-Steyn-Morkel-Philander on the South African wickets that we have today. It would be absolutely ridiculous to watch.

    Geoffrey Boycott v Clive Lloyd

    Yes, I was referring to Roberts-Holding-Garner-Croft there. I mean, that's still as good as it gets.

    Geoffrey Boycott v Clive Lloyd

    Wasn't he the highest run scorer in the '81 series?

    Geoffrey Boycott v Clive Lloyd

    I haven't looked into Gooch's numbers as much but I know that he had a brilliant record against the quartet.

    Anderson vs Bumrah

    It's very close. If we take Anderson's best years (Post 2013 ashes till his retirement), these are their match factors against too teams away from home: Bumrah's match factors are 1.74 in Australia, 1.13 in South Africa, 1.08 in South Africa, and 0.68 in New Zealand. Anderson's match factors...

    Geoffrey Boycott v Clive Lloyd

    Me and my friend once had a huge debate on who was a better opener between Greenidge and Gavaskar. That was when I found out how Gavaskar's records on Australia, New Zealand and West Indies aren't very good. And Greenidge's case is very interesting too. He was the only opener who made runs...

    Geoffrey Boycott v Clive Lloyd

    It's hard for me to evaluate that. I've never seen Boycott bat live, but the fact that he was called out for batting way too slow multiple times by his own team mates (I remember Botham saying that his team mates used to run him out) makes me think about how much impact his runs actually had...

    Geoffrey Boycott v Clive Lloyd

    I'm going to play the devil's advocate here and go for Boycott. Firstly, opening is a far tougher spot to bat as compared to a No. 5/6. That makes this whole comparison quite weird. Secondly, Boycott's away record was simply, incredible. You can even go on to say that it was better than...

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    You're misinterpreting my point. I love watching Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill and Steve Smith bat in ODIs. These guys are pristine gap finders in the middle overs. That isn't the issue. It's quite similar to why test cricket was dying towards the early 2010s. You know what is going to happen...

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    True. That's exactly why ODIs were great before the 2010s. The 2010s saw some of the greatest ODI batters ever all at once. Warner, Kohli, AB, Rohit, Dhawan, Dhoni, Root, Sangakarra, Faf, Amla, Taylor etc. All of them absolutely brilliant. That made ODIs quite interesting to watch in the 2010s...

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    The main issue with ODIs is simply that the middle overs are way too boring and they occupy around 60% of the game. Like 60% of the game just knocking the ball around for singles.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    I wouldn't blame it completely on Babar but it's hard to deny that he didn't put his best foot forward towards winning the game, and was probably contributing negatively to the run chase like Fakhar, Rizwan and Shakeel.
