me neither, 5'4 amateur who played in a less professional era without gyms or high fitness standards vs 6'5 professional playing in a much more competitive era with high fitness and health standards.

 

[Johan]

can the Gavaskar voters give their rationale?

 

[capt_Luffy]

A midget who can't strike for his life playing in the bronze age vs a giant who hits hard playing today...... Those 4 votes are a tragedy

Gavaskar can never handle prime Bumrah like Crawley.

So Crawley is the clear winner here and
The way he handle mat Henry in NZ , Gavaskar can never do such frekish stuff!

Great premise to this thread and voted accordingly.

it’s easy. Cricket standards improved until it got to my favourite era. Then - as if by magic, cricket standards declined but will always be better than the “non professional” era but always below my favourite era.

This rule only applies to cricket and no other sport or field of human endeavour.

Wow you must be incredibly butthurt by Hobbs being questioned to make a thread like this.

You’ve really hurt their feelings bro. They’re still not over it.

Interesting, I wonder what magical force stopped the evolution and development of Cricket.

He will score 200 in one innings and all the rest are completely forgotten

Didn’t Gavaskar once bat through a 60 over 1 day innings for 30 odd ?

that’s unparalleled brilliance

Yes, Sunil Gavaskar's slowest ODI innings was 36 not out off 174 balls against England in the 1975 World Cup match at the iconic Lord's cricket ground.

Absolutely superb. You don’t get innings like that no more
