Younis Khan vs Sehwag

[kyear2]

These haven't been very competitive of late, Younis clearly better than Viru and don't think it's particularly close.

 

[Socerer 01]

He already was.

im talking Hutton, Gavaskar levels of greatest opener

Frankly I don't care about who did better in WI once Ambrose Walsh retired.

Younis had a very poor series against Ambrose Walsh early in his career that brings his numbers down.

I’m not sure this stat proves the point you’re trying to.

A record as good as the greatest openers in test history doesn't prove his point?

A record which is at best* equivalent to Gavaskar and inferior to Hobbs and Hutton (convenient 5000 cutoff to exclude Sutcliffe) in the easiest batting era of all time.

*lower century rate than any of those 3, lower 50+ score rate than them, highest duck rate easily amongst them. Lets not even get into how bad he was outside the SC (avg 34)

 

[OverratedSanity]

Highest duck rate lmao. Try harder.

Wow what a loser

 

[Coronis]

Wow what a loser

at best (on pure average) ignoring all the other things, which is apparently convenient to do lol.

If you actually think Sehwag has a comparable record to Gavaskar you’re on something good that you should share with the rest of the forum.

Maybe its just me but I prefer a batsmen who gets out for 0 less often. Gets a duck almost as often as he gets a ton.

He merely posted the overall career numbers and they literally are comparable.

Everyone with a brain knows that with proper context it's not as impressive.

Fair 'nough.

Fair 'nough.

But not Hayden, obviously.

I wonder how no other opener scored 5000+ runs at @ 50+ against Test standard sides in the easiest batting era of all time .

Well, both of Hayden and Smith are pretty close....
