somewhere near Gavaskar, with no trolling, he was also very much a slow wicket god, I won't put him ahead of Ponting against pace.

for reference, Hobbs would be there but in his prime the world was spin dominated, and the pitches were so friendly that bowling slow was considered the meta (kinda like Scott Boland in Australia today).
He only got extremely fast well recorded bowlers in his 40s, and he dismantled them.

This makes Sachin’s resume appear so much greater

Yeah Freddie definitely won this, had Freddie not been there, I think Sobers would be considered clear BAB

8. One of those WSC tons Lillee was missing.
Actually I see another one was in a futile 500+ run chase so a pretty lame hundred.
And another was when he came in to bat at 369-1 so basically downhill skiing. This is what we're celebrating as greatness vs atg pacers in the supposed toughest games ever
So just 6 really, damn. Overrated af imo. @Coronis gets more and more vindicated each day.

Looks like one of the most useless hundreds in the history of cricket. Viv just making gavaskar tier hundreds here but not getting the same critique imo.

inning is fine, with that lineup one can try, if Greenidge and Lloyd fired who knows if they'd have chased it.
but that's a Sachin or Lara type inning, Yes.
