    Wasim Akram vs Dennis Lillee

    You have to add the number of matches they missed due to injury. Frankly speaking he did not do half of the things that McGrath could. Like bowling sides out on slow wickets.

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Dennis Lillee

    By 1990s we considered Akram to be better than Lillee and Hadlee as the pinnacle and Marshall as the GOAT

    Wasim Akram vs Dennis Lillee

    That shows McGrath is better. Bowling 10 mph slower he can give that extra 10 overs per match which could decide it.

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Dennis Lillee

    By late 80s I am sure he was replaced by Hadlee and Marshall. Rather short lived crown.

    Best Test batter in asian conditions?

    Sure. Already acknowledged.

    Graeme Pollock vs Ken Barrington

    Nah, Pollock has no proven record on unfamiliar conditions, where as Barrington scored everywhere, more in unfamiliar conditions. He may be dour and boring, but he would be my wall to bat in middle order over any similar batsman.

    Graeme Pollock vs Ken Barrington

    Barrington. Plyed in moee varied conditions.

    Best Test batter in asian conditions?

    He was way fitter than Bumrah or Akthar. Actually could bowl without breakibg down mid series.
  9. Migara

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    He was not a good ODI batsman. Only realized how to play it very late in his career.
  10. Migara

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    As non - wicket keeper he averages 70 at home, 63 at home and 62 in neutral venues.

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    It doesn't mean to ignore negative effects that keeping had on his batting though
  12. Migara

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    Exactly the case. It can be safely assumed that he would have averaged more if he never kept, especially it involved formative years.

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    But Op asks not to take it in to account. That means you have to rate him as a pure bat. The issue is in what ever you put, he is a much greater cricketer than Ponting. Then comes to Akram vs Donald who are pretty similar in their output in tests.

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    As a pure bat, Sanga is way ahead of Ponting. Things get muddled only when his keeping is added to the mix.
  15. Migara

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    This means you take keeping abilities in about 40% of the time in to account.
  16. Migara

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    That means you take Keeping in to account. Then Sanga + Donald is way ahead.
  17. Migara

    Choose one pair : Ponting/Akram vs Sanga/Donald?

    So what do you want to consider as Sanga's batting average? 57. or 68?

    Saqlain Mushtaq: what went wrong?

    He describes how his knees were treated by snake oil healers by standing on them. Definietly had a lot more in him, if not for knees.

    Saqlain Mushtaq: what went wrong?

    Very flimsy one

    Is Jasprit Bumrah a chucker?

    There are people with two asterisks to start with.,
