Jfc why is this still a thingit is not delusion but a reality. Imran's avg:ed better, but it is boosted by huge percentage of notouts in far lesser inns(126: 184 in favour of Kapil).In his first 132 inns or so Kapil avg:ed almost 32.5 and put more or less same runs/inns as that of Imran.And Kapil's str: rate was almost 84 to Imran's 47.5 in his first 132 inns.From that 7nth batting position you expect your all rounder to score as much runs as possible in the company of unreliable tail enders rather than boosting your avg: by remaining not outs a lot.And Kapil was by far better in Windies, the GOAT team as a batsman. And Kapil could play some devastating high quality inns in every sense. These all adds up to make Kapil a convincingly better test batsman.If avg: alone is the criteria I would consider Ravindra Jadeja as good a batsman as Kapil because he too avg: almost 30 vs Kapil's 31 with the help of umpteen not outs , but he is far from it in reality.
I can't even comprehend the logic behind thinking that an average "boosted by not outs" is somehow worth less
