Gavaskar has a loose mouth

Boycott was convicted of domestic abuse

Comparing them is just unfair
Boycott is more racist than Sunny and a wife beater......
as I explained already, Boycott's conviction is a thing of debate till this day and the evidence presented against him isn't particularly strong, from the comment of the judge who announced the conviction, she seemed to have a personal dislike towards Boycott as he acted like a jerk in the court. what really happened between them would probably never come out considering both have inherently different stories.

1. For me, Muttiah Muralitharan were certainly better than Shane Warne

2. Look at Shane Warne's record against India. It was pretty ordinary.

3. He did not have much success against Indian players who were very good players of spin.

This isn’t racist

This is just Sunny’s opinion

No its not racist. Tactless, yes.

But anyway, probably time to move on from the “who’s a better person” debates.

You have to catch the pattern, the comment after Hooks' death was racist, we know he has no problems demonizing an entire region from west indies, and then he goes out and is blatantly disrespectful to a guy who just died, just shows the type of person he is.
Yeah Gavaskar can be a jerk at times but I don't think he is a die in the wool racist.

You've literally just said in this thread that number of tons is very important, when discussing how Lara lacks tons vs some atgs.
No, I said having zero tons is a gap in Lara's record especially for someone known for big knocks but I made clear output matters more. Beyond that I didn't say there is a set ton ratio you need to achieve.

You seem to lazy too actually care about framing an argument correctly.

@subshakerz why do you overthink things? was saying Lara avarages under 35 against Donald/Wasim important not enough? shouldn't have started number of tons conversation smh
Zero tons in a big sample is a problem.

But if output is okay then it doesn't matter if the number of tons is low or high.

As a person??? Him throwing water at poor people and reminiscing about it as a funny incident in his autobiography makes him way worse imo.

As batsmen, relatively closish, but not that close. Btw Hammond is definitely much closer to Sunny than Border.
Obviously not, Sunny is a loudmouth but Border is an actually terrible person.

didn't you just say in another thread that Border might be above Hammond
