    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    Not really. Thompson's stats were excellent, and practically the same, till 79. And given he debuted in 74, till 76 would had been a really short career. His stats took a nose dive from 81 onwards. And more importantly, his results in the series on question was excellent. Kyear2 won't rate that...

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    Lol lol. 12 Centuries to ATG pacers all in "Fair weather". A 4th innings double ton in England is fair weather. Back to back centuries in Perth and Adelaide vs Peak Thomson is fairweather. Literally scoring 2 tons and a 50 vs Holding and Roberts in the Caribbean but not scoring in one match...

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    I don't think Lara was better against pace honestly. Had the better series against peak McGrath, but he did had a few technical limitations to pace and they did came to fruition more. Think Sunny to pace was more compact. And ofcourse, opened so a much harder job to pace. And like, I do rate...

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    Hmmm..... I understand your point but think in this particular scenario Sunny is actually better to pace and worse to spin (both by razor thin margins, probs bigger margin to spin) than Lara.

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    I generally genuinely don't like the dominance argument. Specifically, I don't want my opener to dominate at all, rather play as many deliveries as possible; unless it's someone like Sehwag. Special Series is fair, a big reason why I infact rate him higher, but he also had a longer slump.

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    Higher peaks and longer periods of relative mediocrity (still better than Viv though)

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    Tell me a single reason why you would rate Lara definitely a tier ahead of Sunny, except 99 and 02.

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    Except yk..... He literally played for World XI based on this single series, and Garry Sobers rated him as the very best batsman he has Ever Seen, very much in this very ****ing series. It's pathetic at this point lol

    Ted Badcock Bob Cunis Jack Alabaster (comeon guys, he made the D team last time, should atleast make it somewhere this time round) Tom Lowry (was a consistent keeper it seems. Apparently Ken James was the back up in NZs first English tour.)

    Top 10 Batsmen with Debut after 2000

    @Johan in my defense, it was the popular take back then and his India tour didn't helped much

    Greatest Bowling Series: Harbi vs Hadlee vs Imran vs Barnes

    Won't call Harbhajan a bowler who wasn't even good really. I think he was fine, though played far more than he would have in normal circumstances
