Sanga was unbelievable and his numbers were outstanding tstl, but sometimes stats don't give the full story.
I'm sure @Himannv can confirm comprehensively that he wasn't the 2nd best bat of all time.

 

[mr_mister]

He was no Ranatunga

 

[Coronis]

Yes. Shouldn’t this go in the dead subforum since its technically comparing him to others?

 

[fredfertang]

No - Sobers and Barry Richards were both closer to Bradman than Sanga

 

[Aidan11]

No.

Hope that helps.

One batted at no 5 and 6 while other didn't even played 5 test matches

 

[Blenkinsop]

Nine posts in and no mention of Jadeja?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Best at bashing minnows maybe

 

[JBMAC]

NO

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

His dad would disagree with this as well

 

[Line and Length]

A ridiculous assumption.

 

[halba]

Sachin. in terms of skill.

 

[Jfry]

No. It’s clearly Harry Brook

Sangakkara isn't even close to the likes of Sachin, Lara or even Steve Smith

He's about even with Dravid

 

[OverratedSanity]

Sangakkara was a gun. But there is no way to hand wave away how ridiculously skewed his proportion of Asia vs non Asia games are. Also had the benefit of playing minnows more than basically any great player. It gives him a massive statistical edge that makes him look greater than he was imo.

He's a top 15 or so batsman.

 

[Himannv]

What even is this garbage!?

Yeah, but don't insult Dravid.

Dravid was a far superior player to this fraud.

He's a top 15 or so batsman.

I doubt he even makes the top 30.
