    Ian Botham vs Kapil Dev

    Kapil is very underrated.his career record is full of highlights like test str: rate of 80, best one day player of the so called FAB 4, best fielder, world cup win as captain ,best all rounder in 83 and 92 world cups, lone quality bowler of the side etc etc. yet because of the conventional...

    Ian Botham vs Kapil Dev

    Botham's peak period, even with some blips like influence of Packer player's absence, performance against WI etc is a highlight which deserves extra points just like Kapil's performance against WI when rating all rounders.but that doesn't mean his decline period can't be devalued.because it...

    Ian Botham vs Kapil Dev

    Hadlee was the best bowler of the 4 and he was the least bat of the 4.hence the least all rounded player of the 4. w.r.t Kapil a str: rate of >80 in tests and 95 in `1 dayers can't be achieved by hard work alone. BTW what are Rice's credentials as an international player?

    Ian Botham vs Kapil Dev

    Kapil averaged 42.33 with the bat and 24.94 with the ball as captain in the WI.these are the figures that a specialist batsman or bowler would have wanted so badly against the best team of their era. even his over all figures against WI were much better than other 3 all rounders.as for...

    Ian Botham vs Kapil Dev

    i too accept that peak is a highlight, but if the peak is a short period, then sustained consistancy is better i believe. and in Botham's case this peak was greatly influenced by Packer Players absence in lot of those opposition teams.and he was not great against Windies even in his peak i...

    Ian Botham vs Kapil Dev

    yes Botham was a brilliant slip fielder as his catches of '`120' shows.but when some body takes 120 catches in 102 tests it is more of a chance of him fielding at slips than any where else. but i am not denying that he was good any where else.but Kapil was slightly better over all fielder...

    Ian Botham vs Kapil Dev

    once after i posted my msg 3 guys have put reply in defence of Botham. but the fun part of it is that no one stated valid reasons for this. i have stated crystal clear facts as per cricinfo.every one can verify. w.r.t fielding it is well accepted in cricketing circles that Kapil was the best...
