Imran Khan is not the greatest cricketer of all time.

That’s actually a very popular opinion outside of Pakistan and those alchemist cricket fans who look to manufacture precious gold out of what is pretty substantial and serviceable but nonetheless plain old lead.

Off Spin should have died years ago

Yessssssss

 

[TheJediBrah]

I think off spin is a scam. A guy that bowls it convinces people he's a specialist bowler and does it for 20 overs a game, takes 2-60 with the occasional haul and people believe him. Meanwhile anyone could do it

 

[Chubb]

Cricket is a pointless and evil sport that tortures everyone who plays it.

Whether or not I think this because I was run out without facing a ball today is irrelevant.

It should be permissible to alter the ball in anyway as long as it avoids removing visible parts of it.

Kohli is medicore test batsman
Babar azam is massively overated
Ben strokes is crap vs spin

The first one is really Wrong. Might be currently, but by no means overall.

I didn't know that was controversial. As a matter of fact, I have Bart King and Alfred Mynn in my top 100.

I also rate the late 1800s players but think it gets challenging to compare the players from the round arm and under arm eras.

Exactly this. Bart King and Alfred Mynn are two very very different situations.

1. No cricket administrator should be paid
2. No cricketer should be paid for playing a match of less than 50 overs per side
3. White ball only tours should be banned

Already 3 guys here has said this. Looks likes it's not an unpopular opinion after all.

 

[sayon basak]

Exactly this. Woakes and Jadeja are two very very different situations.

I tend to agree.

Bring back round arm and under arm bowling imo.

(Not rolling along the ground obviously)
