No, not all players. However these guys played in the same roles, in an overlapping time period and have similar FC stats, with Richards and Procter having slightly better FC stats than Gavaskar and Imran respectively, whose FC stats are both practically identical to their test stats.
Yet Imran is “easily” better than Procter and you still haven’t even voted on the poll (idk, hedging your bets?) despite posting arguments clearly in favour of Richards.
The reason it pisses me off is because you literally only **** Richards.
I had an opinion to contribute, I voted on the poll. I also posted some stats for context to help out some people. I’ve already previously made it known in other threads how I feel about both these players. You just can’t handle people calling out your hypocrisy and inconsistency - lately its become quite noticeable in multiple threads.
Just vote for him and be done with it rather than posting arguments for him and waiting for someone else to vote your way first.
First off, I'm not hedging my bets, it's close. I do lean Richards, but haven't made that a secret.
Secondly, I said Imran is easily better than Gavaskar, not Procter.
Thirdly, I'm lost as to what I do to or for Richards...
Again you ignore the nuance of the situation, but it's consistent with your philosophical position.
Even though the stats may be similar, Barry brings a added dimension with his ability to score quickly. While for you that means nothing, for the most of us it matters and is a factor.
Additionally while Barry would have batted in the trickiest of conditions and counties, Procter didn't exactly venture into the trickiest and most testing conditions for bowlers.
All of these factors into my thought process, there's no inconsistency. But feel free to jump onto the bandwagon.
