Lol @ Andy Flower being a better Test batsman than Crowe. One of the better examples of when stats really do lie for mine, due to eras, bowling attacks, not-outs etc... but each to their own

Imo flower's record would be better if he played for a team with better batsmen because that would make it easier to build partnerships, so if anything his stats undervalue him.

I was comparing him to Crowe based on what was a very different era.. Crowe was kind of similar in that respect... only really had John Wright and Andrew Jones in his time
