    Brian Lara vs Kumar Sangakkara

    If you extrapolate Sanga's career as a pure bat he is only behind Bradman and Sobers If you extrapolate Sanga's career as a keeper bat he is on par or even above Gilchrist. Now take a breath and consider. He is top 10 test players ever seen. Those would be Imran. Sobers, Bradman, Kallis...

    Ravichandran Ashwin retires from international cricket

    Ashwin has a very similar character to Sanga. Combative, sharp, not taking a back foot in verbals etc. Both knew when to pull the plug when they felt it was time. Ashwin now most likely play few seasons of county cricket, terrorize them for few seasons, and may settle as a spin bowling coach...

    Why did Shane Warne struggle so much against India

    Nah

    Heath Streak vs Chaminda Vaas

    close, but Vaas. Kept at it for a long long time.

    Why did Shane Warne struggle so much against India

    Home, away, across formats nah, there is enough sample size

    Why did Shane Warne struggle so much against India

    Kudos to spinners who pitch it on stumps and let the action on the ball, rather than the rough do the work. Even then when bowled on rough Tendulkar took Warne apart.

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Ian Botham

    this shows what the batsman was on when dismissed. Since pace bowlers take the new ball and spinners then only come in, the numbers are a non shocker.

    Ian Botham vs Keith Miller

    Percentage of the balls delivered would be a better indicator

    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Bill O’Reilly

    It's difficult to even compare them. I will keepe Barnes and O'Riely as ATG spinners and refrain comparing them to modern spinners.

    Ian Botham vs Keith Miller

    In 88 odd tests Imran averages 23 something with ball and 37. something with the bat. Ditto Miller.

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Ian Botham

    Greatness comes from the impact the player makes on the game. Whether they are all rounders or not is immaterial.

    ODI : If you could pick just one - Sanath Jayasuriya vs Andrew Flintoff

    Murali over Saqlain is done and dusted. Greater career, greater peak for Murali, so unmatched premier spinner in ODIs. Pollock vs Hadlee and Jayasuriya vs Lara as openers we could discuss.

    Ian Botham vs Keith Miller

    Once again no contest. Miller. If he had the necessity to perform as Imran wanted to, he would have been the greatest.

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Ian Botham

    Even if you count Bradman as two batsmen, bowling all rounders easily achieve the feat of equal impact.

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Ian Botham

    There are specialist players who have way more impact. Even Sanga and Gilchrist have more impact than Botham. Let's see. Imran, Sobers, Bradman, Kallis, Gilchrist, Sangakkara, Marshall, Hadlee, McGrath, Muralitharan, Steyn, Ambrose, Tendulkar, Richards, Pollock, Lara, Flower, Miller, Ponting...

    Shaun Pollock vs Ian Botham

    Pollock's trash phase was about 10-15% of the career. Botham's is about half of it. Nope, not even close.

    Shaun Pollock vs Ian Botham

    Pollock for majority of the career was an ATG bowler. That is better than an average seam bowler and average batsman.
  18. Migara

    Muttiah Muralitharan vs Ian Botham

    Debatable. Impact wise Botham struggle to be in top 20.

    ODI : If you could pick just one - Sanath Jayasuriya vs Andrew Flintoff

    Jayasuriya, Pollock, McGrath and Murali to replace Lara, Hadlee, Garner and Saqlain.

    ODI : If you could pick just one - Sanath Jayasuriya vs Andrew Flintoff

    Warne is not even the 2nd best ODI spinner
