    ****OFFICIAL**** Imran Khan vs Botham Debate Thread

    Good to see the big man stand by his 'discount' comment. And, no, you're mistaken.

    ****OFFICIAL**** Imran Khan vs Botham Debate Thread

    What I am talking about is that being a better all-rounder over a selective 5-6 year period does not equate to being the better all-rounder over an entire career. And sorry if you feel it has all been a rant. I suppose labelling one of two comparative players as a discount version of the other...

    ****OFFICIAL**** Imran Khan vs Botham Debate Thread

    Those stats show how a 'discount version' played the World Test Champions better than the supposedly high quality version. And better performances by a player against a stronger nation definitely carry more weight than better performances against a poorer nation. Which is the same reason why...

    ****OFFICIAL**** Imran Khan vs Botham Debate Thread

    While I agree in general, the only change I would make is place Botham higher than Kapil in the batting list. Botham scored more hundreds in fewer tests. Kapil was definitely a better batting talent than the remaining three, no disputing that, but it was squandered to an extent. Kapil could...

    Why stop at 50 tests, my friend ?

    ****OFFICIAL**** Imran Khan vs Botham Debate Thread

    For sheer entertainment and delightful performances, I would have picked Boof. However, fact remains that he faded away in his 'fat phase', as an earlier member put it so aptly. The Pathan on the other hand went from strength to strength towards the end of his career. He batted well enough to...

    could India break up?

    Firstly, there has been no such talk. Secondly, care to explain why you named the teams 'India and South' rather than 'North and India' ;) ?
