    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    Shami also did provided early breakthroughs..... To put it again, in World Cups Shami has 55 wickets in 18 matches at an average of 13...... That's bonkers. 2011 Final wasn't won by bowlers, if anything 275 was an above par score.

    Rahul Dravid vs Graeme Pollock

    Because they weren't nearly as good as Dravid.... Not to mention, objectively Chandra had a better Test career than Pollock. Again, Pollock is the better batsman imo, but Dravid had the better career. It's like rating Barry Richards as a greater Test batsman than Hayden.

    Bad cricketers who played too long

    I mean, for a good chunk of his career he was productive especially away. But yeah, agree he should had been benched atleast 2 years before he was.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    You know that each and every single run counts. So if Imran makes even 30 runs a game more than McGrath that's a significant and tangible contribution. The reason Kallis isn't rated higher than Sachin is because Sachin was better across more conditions while Kallis did struggled in England.

    Will you give it a rest for ****s sake.... It's not the thread nor really the forum to post about Bengal famine, let alone that "cricket originated in India ****".

    I understood that, I just thought he should not had highlighted that.

    I think Imran is closer to Marshall than Kallis is to Sachin; and batting allrounders give diminishing return as bowlers, sometimes even negative contribution; while I think Imran's late order batting is much more valuable. I think we just disagree here.

    As previously stated, I myself commented on their absurdity more than anyone else. Sorry if I Overreacted.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    With due respect Spark, and he has brought in plenty of **** history into discussion which I myself have corrected as utter bs; but 1943 Bengal famine is definitely not one of them. It was a man made tragedy (portrayed by media sometimes as natural; a huge farce) comparable to the Holocaust...

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    I believe you also have Imran as a top 10 bowler, and I don't know for sure if you rate Kallis so highly as a batsman. And batsman is better than bowler Kallis. Also, well batting allrounders have a diminishing return as bowlers. So, to put it simply, Imran is a better bowler than Kallis is...

    I mean, if you don't really think Grace is one of, if not the greatest cricketer of all time, I will be really perplexed.

    Best test wicketkeeper since Knott?

    Read he wasn't really good against spinners like Harper, let alone someone better.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    I also don't really and it might be slightly lower scoring. But my point is on average one team really have 1 or at most 2 ATG+ATVG batsmen. Here, most teams have 5 to 6. So if batsmen individually struggles more, I think as a collective (i.e., if everyone scores around 30-40, unlike carrying a...
