Jasprit Bumrah vs Malcolm Marshall

[kyear2]

Like, that's not true when compared with Ponting for Sangakkara (actually he is the closest to truth here), Kallis (I mean, you seem to agree) and especially Barrington

.not 100% sure what you're trying to say, but think this is it.

If you're comparing Punter and Sanga, both played on flat pitches, at least the Australian ones had bounce. And again, Punter slaughtered and dominated attacks. In real time he was the best during that period.

Kallis did have spicier home pitches but had his own struggles and batted for again, himself.

And again, none of them consistently had the conditions or dealt with the level of bowlers and attacks that Viv did.

It's to the point where one has to speculate if anyone rating Kallis or Sanga over Viv ever watched them. Barrington wasn't even rated in his time. Viv was the best bat in the world for a decade plus, in one of the great era for bowlers.

Re Sangakkara and Ponting, Sangakkara played in pitches with suitable turn and had a much more sublime decline. Ended averaging a healthy 6 runs more.

Kallis batted for himself is a view not a single Saffa ever backed. His issues are as a result, minor in comparison.

Where did Viv came from?? Lol. He genuinely has nothing to do in this discussion.

Sanga played on pitches that offered 0 assistance to fast bowlers

Did you experience any of Kallis's career?

And Viv was directly a conversation I was having with Coronis with regards to the 3 of them.

It was literally what was being discussed.

 

[Coronis]

Kobe / Duncan was partially because one was literally in LA.

And again you're referencing the young, mindless masses. No one who understands the game has Kobe over Tim.

Plenty do actually. And yes, because he was the young exciting star in LA…

And nothing to do with boring or exciting.

You don’t watch much sport if you don’t think exciting players have more appeal and are more highly rated for it. Even (and sometimes especially) amongst experts.

Exciting cricketers would have more fans and they would be rated better than dull and boring cricketers..

Sangakkara's home offered enough spin assistance. Overall, not really flatter than Australia.

Bits and pieces post 2012. Saw him plenty in IPL though, was kinda horrible.

Not talking about Viv here really.
