Hashim Amla vs Alastair Cook

[PlayerComparisons]

Two accumulators with similar records

 

[Johan]

as a batsmen Amla, not a huge gap but a clear one.

think Cook might have a more memorable and better career though. Amla somehow went out even sadder than Cook which is an achievement

Yea he was supposed to vote for the English player

 

[Silver Silva]

Hashim Amla a better batsman and a better batsman to watch ..

That punch off the Backfoot and wristy flicks a delight to watch.

Cook continues to be underrated here.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Amla easily. Was a absolute beast in Test as well as ODI’s just that his last couple of years makes you forget how good he really was.

This is true, 17-4 is kind of absurd even if I have Amla as a superior Batsmen and voted for him.

People still don’t realise how polls work.

Yeah bring back the monarchy

 

[andruid]

I repent thinking of these, in their early days, that they wouldn't hack real test cricket

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Didn’t expect both Williamson vs Amla and Amla vs Cook to be so one sided

Garner v Waqar poll was closer than this and you're not convincing me this is a bigger mismatch etc

His point is that the number of people who think Amla is better than Cook doesn't tell you anything about the degree to which they think Amla is better than Cook.

If people thought Amla is only worth 1 more run every 100 innings, but everyone agreed on that idea, Amla would win the poll unanimously even though people think they're extremely close.

It's also possible for the poll to be close even though no one thinks it's actually close, they just disagree.

Yeah I know, I was mostly poking fun at the other poll, thought the etc would give it away.

Yeah sure that explains your earlier post too.

 

[Johan]

just surprised nobody made a case for Cook and it was that lopsided, that's all.
