Battle of the Subcontinent

kapil dev by soooooo much....

 

[R_D]

Anwar was among the top three openers of his generation. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Kapil Dev.

Perhaps I am a bit baised since Anwar is one of my favourite players, but his cricketing feats and talents are enough in my mind to place him above Kapil.

hehehe only just saw this...
Again i'll reinstate.. Kapil Dev acheived much more than what Anwar could ever hope to. Much more talented cricketer overall.

 

[Dravid]

Kapil maybe?

Yeah i know..But i have no problem with people voting for whoever they like which is fair enough imho but trying to justify your vote by such remarks is just stupid.

 

[Dasa]

Kapil.

 

[silentstriker]

Wow, it was tied earlier, but Kapil made a huge push when the Indian brigade came on and ends up winning it 14-6. Rightly so I think, even though I'm a bit sad to see Anwar go out. I always liked him.

Are you debating the fact that Anwar was a vastly superior batsman then Kapil Dev?

Kapil Dev was a competent enough bowler and a good lower order batsman. The only real edge he has IMO is that he maintained his bowling average for such a long period of time - otherwise, his reputition is blown out of propotion because of the fact that he was THE indian star for much of his career, purely as a bowler or a batsman his performance isn't particularly extraordinary.

In any case the difference between them certainly isn't big enough to warrant idiotic responses like yours and Anil's 'oh-so-easily'.
