Yeah he is definitely biased . In Bumrah vs Cummins thread , he considered Bumrah to be failure in 4th innings and Cummins a success in 4th innings when Bumrah has marginally better 4th innings average and completely ignored Cummins failure at Gabba , Sydney against India and Headingley (against Stokes) . He uses weird analogy, ignores all your points , picks one line and responds with same points previously made 15 times before .

You can say Cummins is better than Bumrah without using biased logic .
So many of the arguments you start are based on cherrypicking my arguments.

I said Bumrah's recent failures to bowl out SA and England downgraded him a bit for me. Never said he was a 4th innings failure.

And I didnt rate Sehwag to score a ton against the WI quarter in WI, not overall.

FWIW, I find saltshakerz obvious biased drivel hilarious as long as they are not clogging up every page of every thread on CC and basically hijacking every single discussion.
You lot viciously overreacting to my posts does not = me hijacking a thread. Take a chill pill.

And you don’t feel Cummins was a failure against India in 3rd and 4th Test of 2020/21 .
Did you watch that match or you checked statsguru average ?
Because I watched those matches live . Ashwin and Vihari batted for 46 overs on a 5th day. Do you consider it a failure for Cummins to dismiss them ?

Sehwag on the verge of beating Inzamam, having demolished Hayden and comfortably made it to top 50 batsman of all time status. Very highly regarded on here.

I’ve always felt that if he played against the WI 80s juggernaut he would probably have played one of the greatest innings of all time but end up averaging 32 against them
Yeah down the line of mediocrity, he will have a Kusal Perera like knock. He was that kind of batsman.

No way Inzamam would have scored against Marshall and company. Sehwag was awesome, cutting and pulling anything short pitched on any wicket. Inzamam lacked this quality.
Inzamam was one of the best players of short bowling world has ever seen. Brett Lee at his top pace tried bouncing him out. After hooking and pulling few he retorted "Stop the off breaks, bring on the real stuff".

West Indian bowling attack of 80s and 90s was tailormade for Sehwag. Playing against pace was his strength. Just look how he used to murder Shoaib and Lee.
West Indian attack was much slower than Lee and Shoaib. They weren't players to run in and bowl short stuff like headless chicken (OK, Patterson and Croft may be). They were very skilled bowlers. They will easily find out Shewag can be cleaned up by in cutters. Asif figured it out pretty quickly, I am pretty confident Marshall, Garner, Ambrose and Walsh to pick it up too.

Inzamam never faced Brett Lee in his Test career . I know you like to make stuff but please stop it .
Who said this was in test cricket? This was on tour in a FC match. You should see matches live at least to pick these remarks from commentators.
