Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Sunil Gavaskar

[Burgey]

But it's one nation - and it's not like Lillee toured India either to make it up so....
Sample size: 3 tests in matches vs Lillee. 3 matches out of 125.

You'd have a point with regards to scrutinising his record there if he had similar such holes elsewhere - e.g averaging 100 or whatever vs a crap Windies attack but only ~20 odd when the proper team showed up. But that's simply not true.

My point was also specific to averages against a SINGLE individual bowler (and that's not even in a match involving Lillee, but specifically an average VS Lilee)
That's just bull**** - this is how you start getting into "But he had a broken fingernail at that time and clearly wasn't in the right mood to play cricket/out of form" etc crap.

For the record, if the above is true, then he averages higher vs Lillee (21) than he does in a match involving Lillee (19) so....

A better stat is this: In matches involving any of Lillee, Botham, Holding, Marshall, Garner, Imran, Hadlee - a total of 61 matches - he averages 50+

Not having a go at you by the way, just earlier regarding a specific average vs one specific bowler only - a match size sample of 3 tests.

I don’t know about individual bowlers, I’m talking about his average vs a full strength attack at all. Lillee peculiarly gets marked down for a sample size of three tests in Pakistan, but you know, Sunny Days and all that.
