Kallis was the better player. Kallis was better as a batsman than Hadlee was as a bowler.

Good chat boys. Showing the true value of the player comparisons forum!

I hope it falls in line with the regular comparison arguments.

Akilana is raising some good points about primary. After careful consideration, the only modern bat who is in Hadlee's league is Sachin. We could go backward and forward all day on the nos, or we could thank him for highlighting just how good Sachin was.

While that comment was just intended as a joke, the sentence you highlighted is actually something I also think is true.

Why not Steve Smith as well??

 

[Johan]

just checked, Hadlee beat both Sachin (12-9) and Viv (15-10) on primary comparisons, I guess that's that.

Top 5 or so ATG bowlers should IMO always be placed a notch above any ATG batsman not named Bradman.

Hadlees bowling > Any batsman not named Bradman

so Warne or Murali>Tendulkar for you?

 

[Bolo.]

Why not Steve Smith as well??

Cos Akilina doesn't have an anti-Smith vendetta on the go?

More seriously, I value longevity very highly and don't like assessing players until they have retired. If Smith is gonna challenge Sachin, it's not gonna be now for me.

isn't Akilana's agenda anti-subcontinent in general?
