    Sachin Tendulkar vs Brian Lara

    Definitely SRT was better for me. Had a phase in his career from 1993 Jan 1st to 2011 Mar 30 , where he scored 13608 runs at 59.41 average. In this phase his abroad average was 61+ . His least average in any country was 45 in PAK. Such a towering record!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep in mind this...

    All time Asian-XI

    A bit surprised at the backlash I am getting for not including those chronic ball tamperors in my team ... Otherwise no one can question my eleven. Even Laxman with his complete record at the specialist 6th position is there based on pure merit. Some has questioned Pant's inclusion ...But he...

    no .... Mcgrath has been a better cricketer ...

    All time Asian-XI

    ,Murali was a brilliant fielder , no doubt .. But Jadeja not only has been a brilliant fielder , but with his ' pick and throw direct hit runouts' definitely is 1 level above for me. Murali with a mere 11 batting average complete package ??? . Murali at best has been 2 dimensional ,namely...

    All time Asian-XI

    Jadeja better all round fielder for sure despite Kapil being a brilliant fielder himself. Kapil was the better captain.. Kapil better batsman... perhaps slightly better bowler as well when all contexts taken in to account ...So all in all it has to be Kapil ...

    All time Asian-XI

    Bowling average of 24.5 , Bat avg: of 36 and one of the GOAT elite all round fielders .. That for me is complete package. Being atleast 'above average' in 3 disciplines. So disagreeing with you .Again each to their own.

    All time Asian-XI

    Pant has already 4 aggressive 100+ scores in SENA to go with 2 series winning knocks in Australia last time. Dhoni's highest in SENA is 92. And Pant is not 25 yet .... Dhoni at best is a 'good' test batsman . He has only longevity in favour of him when compared to Pant...Quality wise( tests...

    All time Asian-XI

    I had my reservations w.r.t Murali because of the strong chucking accusations ' against him. WRT this topic, I once again went thru some online clippings and associated messages, especially that brace test and all. Watched the remarks of Steve Waugh, Ian Chappel too . From all these , I...

    All time Asian-XI

    His peers rated Akram very highly as I already said. From that, I perceive that he would have averaged at the least in the range 25.5-27.5 even if with out tampering, adequate enough to be in the 'eleven.

    All time Asian-XI

    I know every record of Imran .... there is nothing to be looked at ...when around 15 people accuse him of cheating his way to cricketing greatness , what is there much to even look at? The base itself is shallow.

    Curtley Ambrose easily .... it is a shame for him to be compared to the GOAT ball tamperor...

    All time Asian-XI

    He might have tampered too... But he was that much skilled a bowler so much so that his performance wouldn't have dipped too much even with out that unfair tactics. He was always at least a 26-27.5 averaging calibre bowler. Remember how lots of his contemporary batsmen rated him so...

    All time Asian-XI

    Though their end averages are a bit wider in favour of Shoaib , if we take into account the adversities that affected Kapil's end average namely longevity, support bowling strength & work density , the gap narrows considerably. There are ample evidences in the form of patches if we dissect...

    All time Asian-XI

    Kapil benefitted from ball tampering??? Can you provide any evidence? If required, I can provide even 15 game associated men who quoted Imran's name w.r.t ball tampering. 3,4,5 are middle order positions. Only ' 3 ' of these is a bit more important . Dravid assures his position there. Then...

    All time Asian-XI

    In hindsight it might appear that I have been partial to Indians, but in reality I have been not. I have given valid reasons for those non Indians whom I excluded namely Imran,Waqar,Miandad,Younis Khan & , Murali . Can you neglect my claims? Imran & Waqar were the utmost beneficiaries of...

    test eleven Gavaskar Sehwag //monster in Asian conditions, 'str: , avg:, being opener combo ' makes it good enough in SENA + WI too. Dravid Sachin Sangakkara VVS Laxman //clutch pressure player, uniform record in all nations, great stats for his position Ravindra Jadeja // lone...

    Top 20 greatest batsmen of all time

    My TOP 10( all formats combined) as of now 1. Bradman // though 1 format only , he was way ahead of his contemporaries 2. Viv Richards // such dominating brilliance in both formats and far ahead of his contemporaries in ODIs, 3. Sachin Tendulkar // most complete batsman , brilliant in both...

    Dale Steyn vs Imran khan

    no comparison .... Steyn by far .... 'GOAT ball tamperor' being compared with one of the elite ATG bowlers ....

    Virat Kohli, the greatest ODI bat ever?

    For me ... he is just one among a few elites, not the GOAT. Viv, Sachin, Dhoni, ABDV, Bevan also belong to more or less in the same class.

    Kapil Dev vs Ryan Harris

    Mr:Shahbaz just publicly spoke about a fact he was aware of himself being informed by some means. What is political about it?
