    Better Test player when they overlapped - Barnes vs Hobbs

    Mead is an interesting one. 153 FC centuries (4th behind Hobbs, Hendren and Hammond) yet only played 17 tests, despite doing well when he did play. Sandham and Tyldesley also two who played very few tests despite making the century.

    Sir Frank Worrell vs Kapil Dev

    Legitimately have no idea who he is tbh. Sounds more like a magician than a wrestler

    The Most Inexcusable Droppings by Selectors

    Eh not really. The Ashes was sort of his death knell. I reckon if he’d had a decent series he might’ve retired then, especially if they’d won. Then he had a meh series in India and got to go out on a relative high at home. Seemed pretty fitting.

    Matches which broke your heart

    And he did it. Good googly. And they say Warne has the ball of the century. Surely its Hollies.

    Why?

    Name the test Cricket Trophy

    Maybe Lillee-Miandad would make it more competitive

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    During Botham’s career, just under 34.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    Yeah. And even tbf 6 wasn’t his best position despite being his most often. iirc he was better at both 5 and 7. Clearly mismanaged career. But yeah… average very low order batsman. Above average bowler.

    I do like el reverso tbf

    Sir Frank Worrell vs Kapil Dev

    Ew I hate myself. Not sure why I did that. Next thing you’ll find a post where I talk about how good wrestling is.

    Wally Hammond vs Jacques Kallis

    The average number 6 was a bit better than him during his time.

    Sir Frank Worrell vs Kapil Dev

    Perhaps a rare occasion where ESPN’s cricketers of the century does deserve a mention. Worrell was indeed one of the top players voted. A great man and a great cricketer. I only really do rankings based on actual cricket capability, but Worrell’s influence on the game cannot be understated...

    Chappell/Lillee vs ponting/mcgarth vs smith/Cummins

    Well I wouldn’t necessarily say that. Technically govinda has posed 2 questions here, one in the poll and one in his post. Which duo was more successful… Well Chappell/Lillee 30/64 wins (46.9%) Ponting/McGrath 63/85 wins (74.1%) Smith/Cummins 34/58 wins (58.6%) not close. As to which duo...

    Have you come back from a posting hiatus recently or am I just noticing you a lot more because you’re particularly on fire lately?

    Better Test player when they overlapped - Barnes vs Hobbs

    I mean what I would simply do is… look at their matches in that timeframe Hobbs pre war 2465 @ 57.32 Other batsmen 1-6 14138 @ 26.73 Barnes during Hobbs career 160 @ 15.91 Other bowlers 543 @ 28.32 Both very impressive If you wanted to go even deeper we could do Other openers 3939 @ 26.08...

    The Greater Test Performance – Sydney Barnes in South Africa 1913/14 vs Donald Bradman in England 1930

    Yes that was basically the reason iirc.
