    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    Yeah, but it's only impressive if you survive, if you don't survive and get out then even at your most defensive the bowler managed to penetrate your defenses, thus you weren't really impressive against him, if there was a great pacer that Ponting survived many balls against without getting out...

    James Anderson vs Kagiso Rabada

    Swinging/Seaming Pitches (Eng/NZ/WI) – Anderson Asian wickets (UAE/Ind/SL) – Anderson Flat wickets (Pakistan) – Cummins Bouncy wickets (Australia/South Africa) – Cummins Bumrah better than either

    James Anderson vs Kagiso Rabada

    I don't know like by raw skill I can see it but Rabada and cummins have been very unimpressive outside their natural habitat tbh (aus/Sa) so I don't know if I think Rabada is better, I def think Cummins more skillful but kinda feel like he won't have a superior career

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    I'm completely fine witn the presentation you did of him, but the problem is if he gets out to Shoaib earlier than his hundred, in your scenario he scored a hundred inspite of Shoaib Akhtar but it's not really a display of his excellence against pace bowling, it's more a display of his...

    James Anderson vs Kagiso Rabada

    Rabada is a freak strike bowler

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    I mean if he sees him off and blocks against him he doesn't get out against him, and if he doesn't get out against him I don't make a case against him, I don't see how this correlates with the fact that so many pacers have been able to get the upper hand on Ponting, that coupled with him...

    Dudley Nourse vs Gordon Greenidge

    Crowe is better than Greenidge

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    also, most of his great record against Waqar comes from the 2002-2003 stuff in UAE, just months from Waqar's retirement, and Waqar still got him twice for 55 runs even tho Ponting averaged 85+ that season. just an example of why "matches involving X bowlers" are not as good as head to head...

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    I mean, this doesn't really work, because it's matches involving them and not head to head but hey, I'll play this game too, here you've his numbers against Ambrose and Walsh, batting at 5, his average and strike rate fall

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    Fuller Pilch said Ponting is arguably better. and Nah, he was just decent against movement, not very good or great. Ponting is an ATG against Pace and Bounce, not Movement.

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    Yeah, should be obvious that even in his 75 averaging prime he was a 40 odd Batsmen in England that he has vulnerability against swing but I guess some people are too nostalgia blinded.

    Ponting isn't close to Smith at all

    1995-2012, all of it.

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    again, My case is entirely against movement and not against Pace in general, I quite literally admit he is one of the greatest ever against Bounce and Raw pace, I don't know what you don't get.

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    Root is vulnerable against Bounce, everybody knows that and acknowledges that. What's so hard to work your head around Ponting being vulnerable against Seam/Swing?

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    I only have access to 2000s stats so can't do most of the list but Shoaib – 32.5 Waqar – 27.5 (in his elderly years lmao) I don't know why I'd include Ambrose and Walsh even if I could tbh, not only can I not do it, my case wasn't against him against pace in general but against movement

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    You just know a guy isn't good against pacers when you gotta gas up Flintoff lmfao, tho peak Flintoff in 2005 Ashes dominated Ponting anyway
  19. Johan

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    Top ten things that did not happen, the average of 41 in England and the 7 wickets to Kumble are a display of it, not even close to Smith Waugh and Root are both far greater Batsmen against swing and spin, Ponting just is superior against Bounce. Need evidence of this. He has some good knocks...

    Waqar Younis vs James Anderson

    why'd you think I'm trolling? it's just a fact that Ponting's numbers against seamers are, uhhhh, questionable
