    Official Jasprit Bumrah fanboying thread

    As of now , the only bowler to have <25 average in all 3 formats. That is like a batsman averaging >50 in all 3 formats. Any way , he lacks longevity. Needs to play minimum 75 tests and maintain his high standards to enter that ATG category.

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Not yet ..... still Sachin , Kapil , Kohli in that order for me...the top 3. Bumrah lacks longevity. Let him play at least 70 tests

    Does Barry Richards deserve an exemption to be ranked among the greats of the game?

    no..... simply because he didn't play enough tests. He would remain as a great talent with huge bad luck ..

    How does Ravindra Jadeja compare with Kapil Dev and Ian Botham ( Tests)

    Kapil > Botham > Jadeja Kapil was a one man army in bowling ...Easily a 26.25-26.75 range bowler when compared to Botham .Had provided some stats w.r.t the work density & support bowling factors of Kapil related to those of Botham, so not repeating here. More over Kapil had ATG record vs...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    No body would argue that ball tampering is a silly offense because every body as of now is well aware as to what happend to the core Aussie players related to the 'sand paper gate' incident . Such a mammoth test batsman as Steven Smith got his career cut short for a whole year at the...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Which other cases other than Hadlee? As I said already Hadlee is a not a saint either ... Otherwise he wouldn't have asked for tampering to be made legal .Again , apart from his own statement I have not seen any body accusing Hadlee of ball tampering . But this is not the case with Imran. When...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Imran gets singled out because of the 'extends to which' he went w.r.t this act and also because of the frequency with which he did it. You won't get any other player's name 'getting specifically singled out' directly or indirectly by 25 or more contemporaries other than that of...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Might be ... but what has that got to do with Kapil being a quality bowler himself ?

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    of course .... but that doesn't take away any thing from the fact that more than 25 people are seen accusing Imran of committing an unfair tactic. Geoffrey was only generally speaking w.r.t this topic

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    yeah .... a bowler who averaged 27.7 in first 62 tests in just 5.5 months with out any bowling support what so ever and with out resorting to any tampering was **** indeed.

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    might be Hadlee too ... I meant , such cases are exceptions rather than normal . BTW didn't Hadlee ask to make tampering legal ?.... Any way , not going there because that has nothing to do with current subject. This is Imran - Sobers subject with Kapil added into the mix.

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    but bottle tops, screwdrivers etc etc can provide world class averages . Younis Ahmed Imran's fellow Pakistan player had given testimony to this act .

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Kapil after all was only 1 member of the team . If the team management collectively decided to take any extreme step to counter Pakistan's any immoral & unfair tactics even with Kapil disagreeing to it , Kapil could only mind his own business and perform with out resorting to any dirty...
