    He’s done quite well at home except the NZ series also

    Combining ODI and Test records, who are the 5 greatest cricketers ever?

    Bumrah might get into this list by the end of his career

    Dale Steyn vs Brian Lara

    Steyn. 2nd greatest test bowler ever and level with Hadlee, Murali, Mcgrath for that position. Lara is behind SRT, Hobbs, Viv, Sobers, Smith

    Combining ODI and Test records, who are the 5 greatest cricketers ever?

    Viv was a better bowler overall slightly I would say. And one of the best ever ODI fielders ever(the best of his era).

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    As soon as you said that, I didn’t feel any need to debate further

    ODIs : Kapil Dev vs Imran Khan

    Earlier I used to be sure, but Subz had some decent arguments

    Combining ODI and Test records, who are the 5 greatest cricketers ever?

    With a 70-30 weightage to tests and ODIs: Tendulkar Richards Mcgrath Murali Hadlee/Wasim(Wasim was ATG in tests and ODIs, should make it above Imran marginally. Hadlee is a top 6/7 ODI bowler too).

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Fair, I feel we have reached a decent level of agreement here. Now I shall be focusing my sole attention of the BGT series starting tomorrow

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    I don’t completely agree here, but fair. He was simultaneously bowling brilliantly against England in the ODIs. Maybe he was neutralised by the WI batters to a great extent. Still I feel it was an amazing attack with Dymock and Pascoe as well(and Thomson only tailed off post 1980, till 1979-80...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Lara’s both series are better than Viv’s and Smiths. But Viv had three such ATG series(amongst the best by a visiting bat in each of these countries): Aus 79, Pak 80, Eng 76

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Calm down. I was only reiterating a story I had heard. Anyways point was Hogg was in hot form before that series, and Viv dominated. And despite the back injury, he was bowling well against England(took 46-4), and even post that WI series, had a strong summer during 1980-81.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Hogg was not **** tho. He had been in great form prior. And Thommo was good till 79/80. Post that he started to fail. I’m saying more than anything, Viv dominated all chances he got

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    I rate the Smith 2019 series very very highly. I thought 2017 was a bit overrated(still ATG), but 2019 is amongst the greatest ever. I even ranked it above Viv 76 in England and only behind the Lara series mentioned here

    Dale Steyn vs Viv Richards

    Imran and Marshall too

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Richards scored throughout. Kalicharan and Lloyd more sporadically clearly(check the Wisden assessment Subz posted above and the scorecards of the series). Plus Lillee, Thomson, Hogg and even Dymock(as mentioned by the poster above, who was in his purple patch) presented a significant challenge.

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    The whole reason Hogg didn’t fulfill the promise of early career and was horrible in this series was because he was taken apart by Viv in the series. He developed an injury after the series and after the incident where he was taken apart from 59 runs in 6 overs. Otherwise he was routinely...

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    You said Viv had great support. He scored 396, more than double what the best WI bat scored despite playing only 4 innings. And Richards was suffering from back problems and groin issues throughout the series

    Dale Steyn vs Viv Richards

    Switched to Steyn(this is the closest battle ever tho). Viv for me is just behind Tendulkar and Hobbs. Steyn just behind Marshall

    Viv vs Lara vs Smith: Who has the best series performances?

    Fair. Just clarifying
