    Brian Lara vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Padded? Oh you mean because Lara didn't make runs vs Donald or the Wws away? Instead he made runs away vs Murali, Pollock/Ntini, McWarne (2005) etc. The man averages 48 away which is more than enough to be considered very good. Not on the same level as his great contemporary, which is why...

    Viv Richards vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Well you could've fooled me. But yes, unless he completely nose dives, Smith is the test batsman of his generation.

    Viv Richards vs Sunil Gavaskar

    Wait wait wait just a minute. Since when did you rate Smith that highly?? Is this even Subz??

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    I know we can't include everyone but I believe South Africa's Brett Schultz was pretty fast as well.

    The Fastest Bowler ever?

    Patrick Patterson.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Yeah he's another who should've forced out any stragglers in the WI team. I honestly can't remember why he didn't get more games. Clarke obviously got banned because he went to Rsa, ditto Croft plus he was injury prone. I just can't remember why Daniel never made it back in once Roberts retired...

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Probably Patterson. I'm going purely by Dujon's recollection.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    No I'm talking about the likes of Baptiste, Butts and respectfully even Roger Harper and Patterson. Clarke would've been a serious upgrade from those types.

    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    On another note Kyear. I know you rate B. Richards highly even though he only played 4 Tests. I'm curious to hear your opinion on Sylvester Clark because I regard him in a similar manner ie an absolute top shelf fast bowler who just made one bad decision that cost him his career. Imagine if...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Joel Garner

    Um Garner averages 19 in Pakistan. Still awesome. Don't mind me, just being nitpicking. Damn, I never realised how good he was outside of the WI.

    Is there a difference between a greater cricketer and a better cricketer?

    Yes because Imran is a better cricketer than Sachin, Hobbs etc but they are rated greater cricketers.

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Sachin is 2nd best batsman of all time, all things considered. What's but let's stop all the hyperbole, it's not an open and shut case. The other contenders run him close. Sachin has longevity and consistency across teams others have utter domination vs great bowlers (particularly fast) and...

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Joel Garner

    It's like my good friend Subz explained there are players who are better but not necessary greater than other. Garner is probably a better bowler than a few on the list but he's not greater.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Joel Garner

    Let's see: MM McGrath Hadlee Steyn Ambrose Imran Lillee Akram Donald Trueman So no.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Joel Garner

    Then he's a top 10 fast bowler of all time imo.

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    Won't argue with that.

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    See above sir. I was messing with PFK...

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    Ok so then Lara succeeded vs Donald then, since Donald only dismissed once outside of those 5 tests in 1998. And it's not just the beginning, Sachin averaged 27, 36 and 40 in tests vs Donald in the years you highlighted.

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    I know, I'm just messing with PFK...

    McGrath vs Hadlee

    And no one made Akram play as long as he did....
