    The great 1980s all rounders

    i too has watched the game from 85 onwards....For your info: , a lot of fans rate Kapil very highly based on the contexts he played in . Recalling a poll a few months back in a well known cricket forum w.r.t this. Of all the 12 members voted , 10 considered Kapil the better over all all...

    The great 1980s all rounders

    based on the contexts they played in, based on the expertise in both formats, based on morality , my rankings 1. Kapil Dev - almost similar record to Botham in batting , but str: of almost 81 from 7nth batting position( batting in the company of tail enders and adding as much runs as...

    The other Steve Smith question - Who would you try and get him out ?

    Smith's strength is his trigger movement when the bowler is about to deliver the ball.The one advantage with this movement for him is that his leg side play gets stronger and offside play gets weaker at this point of time. Also he would be in a position where his body balance w.r.t offside...

    Steve Waugh vs Rahul Dravid (Tests)

    such a close call..... yet.... Dravid was more pleasing to the eye and he belonged to comparatively weak team(hence would have had to cope with a bit more pressure thru out) .So going for Dravid

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    there is no doubt regarding the fact that Gilchrist deserves extra credit for his huge str:rate in one-one comparison with Sachin.Though the str: rate difference is not that wider as in Kapil-Imran case, it is still a huge one of almost 81-54 = 27 in favour of Gilly.And I readily gives Gilly...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    King Viv is considered a better batsman to Sachin by many people (myself included) despite him scoring only 8540 runs @ 50.23 avg: , one of the prime reasons being his 70.21 str: rate when every other batsmen of his times were striking at mere. 40-45 . This, despite Sachin scoring...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    because as we all know in general longevity cause a dip in a player' s stats , even more so with all rounders.

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    Yes.... I know about that incident where umpire Holder accused the Indians of that.More over this statement of Holder, though is enough to doubt even a legendary player like Kapil do not have enough in it to prove the repeated offense of Indian players w.r.t tampering. Would elaborate...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    if he scored 'actual' runs from far higher up the order in general , his runs/inns count would have been far better than that of Kapil's . But in reality it is only 30.21:29.65 in favour of Imran, of course Kapil's only first 131 inns rightfully are taken into account because excess longevity...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    I am not going deep with the practical implimentations of your theory because that involves too many factors that can make it a lot complicated. But I would narrate it with a simple example of genuine batsman in Sachin Tendulkar.Sachin avg:ed 53.78 in 329 inns with the help of 33 not outs. To...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    i can give names of at least 15 cricket related personalities of which even several Pakistanis who have given testimonies at various times w.r.t Imran's tampering exercises.That is enough for the basic common sense to realize that he was a chronic certified cheater. And lack of evidence from...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    what common sense is it man ? Do you have it even ??? Quora is only quoting lines from his autobiography as such.So have the least basic sense of giving preference to Sachin's own statements with in quora rather than quora itself.As a matter of basic sense, if you give a google search w.r.t...

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    yeah ..Tendulkar's greatness as a cricketer was mainly because of him being one among the top 5 fast bowlers of all time. Hence he was GOD of tampering ... Soooo pathetic .....atleast come up with a slightly better logic to defend your case.

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    ha ha ha ha .... don't know whether to laugh or cry .... here an allegation is made against a supposed ATG bowler. To defend him, you have to stoop to bringing an one off incident associated with an ATG batsman into the discussion. So much so for sound logic

    Why does Pakistan traditionally produce better fast bowlers than India?

    ok ...you are entitled to your opinion. Also I would assume that it is ok for you too to estimate a chronic ball tamperor in the same regard as you once used to , despite him being severely exposed from various quarters.
