Time machine thread - Putting players in different eras

[ataraxia]

I put Stokes in a molecular transporting time machine and he turned up in the 1890s as a fly.

Ultimately beneficial for him once you think about it though, as otherwise he'd be on the convict boat to Australia.

 

[the big bambino]

As it is he made it to England from NZ.

Jadeja in the sticky wickets era and he’d be called The Answer

 

[honestbharani]

Jadeja in the sticky wickets era and he’d be called The Answer

Also, he wud have played for undivided India and therefore saltshakerz would have supported him.

But would he have run out the non-striker like Mankad?

 

[CricAddict]

Sachin Tendulkar in 1950s would be called Don Bradman.

 

[Victor Ian]

Sachin Tendulkar in 1950s would be called Don Bradman.

Downgraded from god.

 

[The Sean]

Sachin Tendulkar in 1950s would be called Don Bradman.

Which would be really unfortunate for him, because he'd share the same name as a far superior batsman who retired just a few years earlier.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Sachin Tendulkar in 1950s would be called Don Bradman.

Why? Why wouldn't people just call him Sachin Tendulkar? It isn't as if it is a difficult name to pronounce.

 

[Victor Ian]

Ten dollar Carl?

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Which would be really unfortunate for him, because he'd share the same name as a far superior batsman who retired just a few years earlier.

Would be unfair for Sachin imho.We would have some folks adjusting his average of (50-60) to a Zak Crawley level batsman.

 

[Coronis]

Why? Why wouldn't people just call him Sachin Tendulkar? It isn't as if it is a difficult name to pronounce.

Speak for yourself.

 

[Ali TT]

As there's a Sachin Baby playing now, wouldn't the 1950s version be Sachin Daddy?

 

[Prince EWS]

Why? Why wouldn't people just call him Sachin Tendulkar? It isn't as if it is a difficult name to pronounce.

 

[ataraxia]

Kohli's death knell, that.

Sobers would be the ultimate T20 cricketer.

Kapil would be the ultimate T20 player by a mile.

 

[Ali TT]

Kapil would be the ultimate T20 player by a mile.

Botham would be the multiverse boss T20 player by 2km.

 

[The Sean]

Botham would be the multiverse boss T20 player by 2km.

That's tempting to assume (and you could well be right) but you'd have expected Botham to be an all time ODI God as well, and yet he really wasn't.

 

[Socerer 01]

Botham would be the multiverse boss T20 player by 2km.

for a few years then he would disappear like Russell

One would hope at least he'd be better than Luke Wright.
