    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    I mean CW rates him as 11th greatest batsman of all time. I rank him 8th. iirc You don’t even have him in your top 20. Seems far more egregious and contrary than me ranking Viv 12th compared to CW’s 7th, no?

    AI all-time XI

    lol didn’t even notice. Well here’s ChatGPT’s best attempts at mine. Conclusion: chatgpt hates Gilchrist and has no idea what Hadlee looks like

    AI all-time XI

    Well I’m impressed. I can’t get the damn thing to put all 11 people in the same image.

    Andrew Flintoff vs Chris Cairns

    Amazing lack of time bending foresight from the mods here.

    The Most Inexcusable Droppings by Selectors

    Yeah the whole Professional and Amateur thing ticks me off so much. Gotta love class divides being brought into sport.

    Absurdly Awesome Cricket Stats

    Oh I didn’t know that, that’s great. Yeah I automatically excluded the one test wonders lol.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Actually he began as a tearaway, like Lillee

    AI all-time XI

    Thats terrifying. Which players are meant to be which? I can only recognise a few And which AI?

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Hadlee was also in this vein. Prime of 27-39.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    I’m curious if the Kapil one was Indian cricketer of the century or test cricketer? (something that wouldn’t affect say, Pollock vs Richards) Given his ODI exploits I’m sure captaining your team to a WC would weigh heavily on people’s minds.

    Mohd Asif vs Ryan Harris

    Basically Anderson without the test spam :ph34r:

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    No, you said you’d have less issue with someone naming him a top 5 spinner than Sutcliffe being in an ATG XI. Which makes no sense if you clearly agree that Qadir is further away from the top 5 than Sutcliffe is from making the XI. You understand that right?

    Lara/Ambrose vs Ponting/McGrath

    Maybe they’re both wrong

    Harold Larwood VS Craig McDermott

    You’d say Larwood more talented and McDermott with the better career.

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

    It was Hobbs’ final good test match. Scored 74 and 78. Went on to score 149 across the final 7 innings of his career. England won by 93 runs. iirc he repeatedly offered to step aside during this series.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    No, but we don’t rank players based on consensus, which you mention as one of the major factors for a lot of the players and where you rate them, however you don’t always follow the consensus, only referencing it in some cases, which I think is subz issue. On a different topic, Hammond didn’t...

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    To be completely fair about that 28/29 series, it was quite a batting friendly series, only two bowlers averaged below 30 (both pacers) - even Larwood and Tate both averaged 40. btw Grimmett that series bowled an average of 79 overs a match. Insane workload. Though tbf, the top English spinner...

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Yeah you really didn’t need to relist all those reasons for ignoring those peer reviews. Also lol, Sutcliffe is a lot closer to an ATG XI than Qadir is to a top 5 spinner. Yes it is. Insight into them and their playing style, rather than any objective view of their record which shouldn’t...

    Mohd Asif vs Ryan Harris

    Really? I don’t rate Lillee that highly.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    A interesting comparison is Grimmett’s tour of South Africa vs Verity’s Grimmett 5 matches 10 innings 44 @ 14.59 SR 47.2 Verity 5 matches 9 innings 19 @ 29.05 SR 119.2
