It's pretty hard to argue against him being the best right now, and for T20Is his record speaks for itself
I saw the supposedly international quality bowling attack of Steyn, Abbott and Rabada bowl more trash in those 20 overs against England than any of the "pop gun" attacks in the IPL.
best right now is obvious. the claim was goat tho.It's pretty hard to argue against him being the best right now, and for T20Is his record speaks for itself
This whole thing started cos GIJoe claimed he was outright T20 GOAT. Him being T20I GOAT is pretty obvious but it's pretty pointless to talk GOAT in a format where the top guy has played all of 40 innings.He's been around long enough for a claim of T20I goat to be very fair.
If you're talking T20s in general, that's a very difficult one to analyse or quantify IMO
That is nonsense. The myth that the IPL is the absolute best international cricketers + best Indian cricketers is patently garbage. England's best players are better than the majority of the overseas players, and a few of Pakistan's players would be but because of the seasons clashing/politics they don't get in. That is not to mention the fact that lots of better international players (mainly batsmen) don't get a game because of the overseas player cap. IPL is some great T20i players, some decent overseas players and then some filler guys who would be 3rd team for their countries at best.Gi Joe not making much sense here. Some of the attacks in the IPL have been very good over the years, better than a lot of T20I attacks. In fact, the general quality of play in the IPL has always been higher than in the T20I scene.
Not buying that comparison. The gap in standard in test and county bowlers is so massive compared to T20Is vs franchise t20. It's a disingenuous comparison.I considered your point, and it is ****. Sort of like arguing that a county championship attack is better than a test match attack because they bowl together more often.
Doubt about this, would make for an interesting quantitative analysis and comparison with other T20 competitions and how bowlers/bowling attacks perform over time (or same bowlers in different competitions, albeit differing conditions change the dynamic).Calm your **** and consider my point that the length of the IPL genuinely affords the bowlers to properly understand their roles within their attacks and become a better unit.
Well, yes, and has been made often. It's pretty widely accepted in fact.Right, but lots of the international IPL players also don't really care that much. Steyn even said so.
I do love the IPL, great fun to watch and it is the best T20 tournament in the world. Just think the whole argument is a tad disingenuous that because they play together more often they'd win. Is it an argument you'd use against a world XI then?
Not to forget the possible pressure from franchise owners, with big money comes big responsibilities.Calm your **** and consider my point that the length of the IPL genuinely affords the bowlers to properly understand their roles within their attacks and become a better unit.
Its the whole reason why I said that t20 attacks are better on paper, while in practice I do believe most ipl attacks bowl better. If you disagree with that, then fine. But don't just list off names because that's not what I'm talking about.
That's not really relevant. In any way.If a World XI played together as much as most T20i teams play T20i cricket they'd beat any IPL team over a 5/10 game series.
Infact, with T20 the impact of one player (batsmen) is so great that the IPL team wouldn't really stand a chance. Although RCB would have basically the World XI's top 3, the gulf in bowling quality would be crazy.
Allow me to be the so-manieth to disagree. Perhaps there are higher highs. And even if so, they are massively wiped out by the lower lows.In fact, the general quality of play in the IPL has always been higher than in the T20I scene.
