Sunil Gavaskar vs Wally Hammond

[Johan]

Abd plays from 04-18, a time where almost no greats played, so it's understandable.
Williamson is just poor in tougher away games/ATG attacks. His record away against top teams is bang average.

Williamson isn't dominant at home against India and Australia either too

 

[OverratedSanity]

Most surprising imo
Kallis : 5
Dravid : 5
Sanga : 4
Williamson : 3
ABD : 1

Kallis Dravid sanga all weren't really that amazing against the strongest attacks tbh, not that surprising.

 

[Johan]

Gooch has 10 tons against ATG bowling I think.

5 vs the West Indies
2 vs Shane Warne
2 vs Richard Hadlee
1 vs Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis

Yes he does, Thorpe also has 10.

Gooch also took apart Van Der Bijl and Le Roux in his unofficial tests in South Africa, Fantastic player of fast bowling.

Maybe this is Luffy's second account.

Gooch in South Africa 1982, unofficial tests against South Africa

338 runs @ 67.6 in 5 innings, 1 hundred, 2 fifties.

Nice

 

[subshakerz]

The most startling fact for me was @subshakerz telling Lara hasn’t scored a single century against Donald(10+ matches) and Akram/Waqar.

And for that I was accused of being anti-Lara.

Is it good or bad?

 

[The Sean]

With these calculations, does it matter how many great bowlers are in the attack you're playing against? As in, does a ton against both Wasim and Waqar together count the same as it does against just one of them?

Luffy hasn't even watched Star Wars, it's a terrible thing

 

[Thala_0710]

Yeah it counts the same. Even if you score a 100 against 2 ATGs playing together, it will count as 1 only.

tbh It's just us talking and it's a fun statistic to discuss, I'd never take such measurements seriously and always opt for an indepth look, most Cricketer's careers are short enough for it.

 

[DrWolverine]

And for that I was accused of being anti-Lara.

Brian Lara not scoring a century against a great express bowler or even an express bowler with potential(Bond or Akhtar) is surprising.

 

[Johan]

Hammond has more tons against express pacers than Lara, RIP Lara

 

[subshakerz]

A ton against none of them does matter though. Obviously against the pair themselves will be rated higher.

I think it is a fair critique of Lara because it backs up the fact he struggles against quality after pace.

18 games against Donald and 2Ws, no ton.

let's tag someone old enough to have watched Hammond and Gavaskar live
