McGrath vs Tendulkar - ODIs

[Migara]

I won't judge that based on graphs.

You don't need to. The graphs gives numbers on hover.

This will end Saqlain vs Murali debate. For 80 matches, that is about 25% of the time Murali stayed north of 800 points, which Saqlain managed in only one match.

Saqlain > Murali > Warne

Finally McGrath vs Akram

View attachment 37544

What these show is that McGrath, Pollock, Arkam and Garner were the top ODI pacers.

Donald easily Better than Pollock.
Had he debuted 5 years earlier, he would have been competing with Akram for GOAT title.

Nah Actual performance is reflected in ICC rankings. Saqlain was not able to reach the peak murali had for 80 odd games. Saqlain > Warne, that I agree.

Err . . no.

 

[subshakerz]

Tendulkar running away with this, whereas he is losing the test battle. Very odd.

So you rate Kallis > Jayasuriya in ODIs. Never expected.

Kallis never captained. Jayasuriya better fielder too. As player Jayasuriya > Kallis

/nitpick

 

[Burgey]

It is a joke to compare any other cricketer to Viv in ODIs. He is so far ahead of the others and is simply beyond any comparisons.

There are a few cricketers in conversation for the second best ODI cricketer though. Sachin, Mcgrath, Wasim, Garner are in discussion there.

Possibly not when you consider the importance of their respective skill sets to the formats.

So, if we consider Batting + Bowling only
Kallis > Jayasuriya in ODIs.
Right?

Kallis was a far better ODI bowler than Jayasuriya. If batting + bowling considered Kaliis > jayasuriya, and also Kallis > Tendulkar

 

[karan_fromthestands]

Neither. Kohli, Wasim, Pollock, Kapil, Garner and a few others are better than them.

Agree 100%. Sachin was pretty average, India had a pretty solid bowling line-up when he was around. Guys like Doda Ganesh, Javagal Srinath, Venkatesh Prasad, etc. were elite. Plus the fielding and fitness was top-class. Sachin had all the help to win games but he just didn't do enough.

Tendulkar took McGrath to the cleaners Nairobi 2000, odi game in India 2000, 96 wc, Diana memorial game

McGrath got the better of him 99, 03 WC, DLF cup challenge

Not to mention great opening bats like Manoj Prabhakar and Nayan Mongia
