    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    He was a little below average for his time. But he was well above average for a bowler.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    etc. they felt more borderline I don’t think anybody ever called Hammond an allrounder. I believe it was said about him that he had the capability to be a better bowler but wasn’t, though on occasions when he was motivated you could see that in him. Arguably you could say Faulkner. If we’re...

    Imran vs hadlee

    Ooh I do hope I inspire some young Gen Alpha cricket fan to appreciate the finer things in test cricket.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Imran, Hadlee, Pollock, Miller, Botham, Kapil etc. Its certainly far more common. Though I know you will have quibbles with this list.

    The Greater Test Performance – Sydney Barnes in South Africa 1913/14 vs Donald Bradman in England 1930

    I mean you say he was outbatted… he scored the only ton in the match (highest score by over 50 runs) and was the second highest scorer in the match, behind Hobbs

    Imran vs hadlee

    Were they that flat? Sarfraz took 14 @ 27 in those tests. Seems like they were much rougher for the spinners.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Since Sobers retired in 1974 and Kallis debuted in 1995 we’ve got another 9 or 10 years to wait.

    Imran vs hadlee

    Couldn’t keep healthy during his peak tho. Played barely half his team’s matches

    India VS Other XI

    What the hell even is this

    Harold Larwood VS Craig McDermott

    Both points quite arguable imo

    Sachin/lara in 90s vs smith /root since 2018

    I mean the amount of ATG bowlers faced doesn’t really compare.

    Imran vs hadlee

    I think we’ve had this poll before… but in what regard? Bowling, batting, allrounder, overall?

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Would only be recent matches too, if it does exist. I never had him outside the top 20, to my recollection. Ah so now its consensus outside CW apparently. It gets confusing because you often bring up CW consensus and outside consensus and use them both as arguments for/against certain...

    AI all-time XI

    Front left is Hobbs I feel. Marshall had an insane growth spurt between the two pictures. Tendulkar in the middle of some sort of trip Bradman and Gilchrist on a completely different kind of trip. And Hammond hates being asked to be photgraphed twice (if that’s him)

    You try to change every single poster’s mind on Barry Richards. Constantly.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    I didn’t ask for your reasons, I know them. So yes, your ranking of Sutcliffe is further away from the consensus here than mine is of Viv? And yet you call my ranking of Viv atrocious and a personal vendetta. Thoughts?

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    I mean, you also do this.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Does Cummins’ 2011 test count for him? Interesting since unlike say, Barrington it positively effects his record. Similar time periods for them both too.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Clear example of consensus peer/media rating being awful, wouldn’t you say?
