Younis Khan vs Graham Thorpe

[PlayerComparisons]

Two greats of the game

YK all the way

Urge to troll trundler not quite high enough to vote Thorpe here.

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare players who are at a broadly comparable level?

Yea my bad not a close comparison unless you’re extremely biased towards Thorpe

Lol this post is very obviously a dig at me because I'm the one who's hyped Thorpe a lot before and you noticed I logged back on today so fancied your chances of getting a reaction. And you've done things like this many times before.

But no, Younis is the better player here.

I adored Thorpe. Enough to be a Surrey fan despite being from north of the river. He can't hold a candle to YK though. Both underappreciated batsmen here, mind.

The only Thorpe who can beat YK is Ian

Don't get me wrong, it's justifiable. But this is awfully one sided.

And Jim - one of the greatest sportsmen of all time.
