    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    yeah... Kapil immensely benefitted from being in the company of a 37.3 averaging bowler who played only 39 tests while he himself played 131 tests. You shall believe in it . I simply can't.

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    what ever be your justifications, you won't come across this alarming drop of bowling average from 32.5 in the first phase to mere 19.45 in the 2nd phase in any quality bowler that has played the game till date.Again you won't find so much people pointing fingers at one man either as is...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    Went thru the links. These statements of Holder & More , though is enough to doubt even Kapil , do not have enough in it to prove the REPEATED OFFENSE of Indian players w.r.t tampering...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    provide proof man ..... just you speaking so wouldn't count ....On a side note , this is a thread that has got nothing to do with Kapil . It is about a head to head comparison between two other well known cricketers ...So it's natural that aspects w.r.t their moral credentials too...

    Garry Sobers v Imran Khan,Test Cricket:Poll

    I can provide names of about 15 game related men who provide testimony w.r.t 'Imran's tampering exercise' can you provide any w.r.t Kapil?

    Playing Selector: Top five test all rounders ever

    Another thing that has always came across as awkward is the big difference in ratings between Botham and Kapil when considering the fact that their numbers have been so close to each other. Here itself Botham has 20 votes where as Kapil has none( 1 of course of mine). Have come across...

    Playing Selector: Top five test all rounders ever

    the higher the amount of runs/inns, the more weightage for str: . Southee only averages around 16. Still he should get more weightage than 'a lower order batsman who averages 16 with very lower str:'.

    Playing Selector: Top five test all rounders ever

    the longer you play, the lower your average gets in general , be it in batting or bowling. Rare exceptions might be there though. Sachin, Ponting, Viv, Kohli, S . Smith and a lot of others have gone thru this. It should be noted that Kapil averaged 28.87 in bowling after first 100 tests...

    Playing Selector: Top five test all rounders ever

    To put it in context , to score 5248 runs @ 82 str when King Viv scored 8540 runs @70 is some achievement .

    Playing Selector: Top five test all rounders ever

    Kapil seems way under rated in general . A batsman with around 82 batting str: when even Viv Richards was only striking at 70, with several back to the wall innings, with a towering series in WI(GOAT team) ..... a bowler who averaged 29.65 against all odds like longevity , weak...

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/32540.html?class=1;template=results;type=batting just go thru the country wise averages... really really far from adequate that is required of an 1 down batsman.And he has not scored even 7200 runs!!!!!!!!!!!! It is really strange that a nation...

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    Dravid's country wise average is far far better when compared to that of Chepu. Dravid was instrumental in India drawing series in AUS 2004, ENG 2003 & winning in PAK 2004 etc etc .

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    way more batting friendly era?? there was a stat recently in espncricinfo w.r.t decade wise split of 'batting average' . 1990 and 2010 were more or less on the same level. 2000 was a bit more batting friendly . But still Dravid faced lot more ATG bowlers thru out his career. He played a lot...

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    Pujara was the major factor in 2018/19 series win in AUS ....agreed. But he just played his part in 2021 series win ..that's all . So he won 1 series . But at the cost of losing series after series on either side of that 2018/19 series. Averaging a relatively poor 44 compared to his...

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    He is from Gujarat..... Modi , Amit Shah, Jay Shah(BCCI president) all have their influences in Gujarat .

    Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

    well said .... the fact that a proven failure like Pujara kept playing on and on till 103rd test is a testimony to what you said. His country wise record is pathetic to say the least. And this 'test only ' batsman occupied the most important 1 down position added salt to injury . No wonder he...
