Malcolm Marshal vs Glenn McGrathbbb

Wait a minute, a big showy spectacle, WWE fan..... It's all making sense now!!!

You deserve to be more than a data scientist. You're just that genius.

 

[Johan]

That's just being salty really. No one but the English thinks fast scoring is important to preserve the "dying game"

I'm not salty, I simply feel like your measure for WSC kinda disqualifies a lot of Cricket to be considered in comparisons.

 

[Johan]

And @Johan why the **** you changed your pfp 15 times in 3 minutes??? Especially all WWE characters!!! Is it just out of spite????

Wait a minute, a big showy spectacle, WWE fan..... It's all making sense now!!!

I'm a perfectionist, I take longer than women to get dressed, so it makes sense I try 15 pfps before I find one that works.

plus, I genuinely think WSC is very legit.

FTFY.
















Sorry @capt_Luffy - just a bit of fun.

Not rating WSC as test should not be very controversial imo. It's not that Luffy ignores WSC as a whole. He counts it, just doesn't give the same weightage as tests, which is completely fair.

Wouldn't use that as a compliment personally.

Yeah but I rate it as relevant as tests and that shouldn't be an unfair or outrageous stance either.

Yeah fair. I pretty much stand between you and Luffy on WSC. I probably give WSC more weightage than Luffy, but probably not as much as you do.

Look, I will again say, if the comparison was vs Lillee, I would give total weight to WSC runs Viv scored vs him. I just don't think they are literally equivalent to Tests. Many FC games also have Great attacks, we seldom dig up and rate every single one for each player. I don't think WSC is like an average FC game, but it's a FC game. It really irks me when people argues that (and I kid you not) WSC was superior to Tests.....

 

[DrWolverine]

It's more the modern players have forgotten their defensive game

They have to play the t20 format to earn money.

So they have forgotten the art of defensive cricket and automatically try to play attacking shots

 

[subshakerz]

WSC was a fanfare. The cricketers were paid to perform first and foremost.

It had a greater intensity than cricket anywhere at the time by their reports.

You can make a case it shouldn't be considered exactly as tests but shouldn't be rated below them IMo

 

[capt_Luffy]

Also by reports of that time players didn't gave 100% always there.
Also like, having the most intensity is the definition of fanfare?? Who would watch a boring game???

 

[subshakerz]

McGrathbbb

what the ****

McGrath has a very good case to be no.1

Which reports? And that frankly happens in tests too.

Peterhrt has a post on it.
Much rarer and a big reason certain 90s players are so tarnished.

Rating it the same level as tests should also be fair. Folks here are seriously underestimating the folksy nature of cricket before the 70s revolution came.

Fair.

It's fair. I just have my reservations here.

so does no one else really see the flaw in the title of the thread
