Cricketer Of The Year
I think Cricinfo's Stats Guru is a magnificent tool for comparing two players and their records.
I'll start us off....
Laxman vs. Vaughan
Similar number of matches. Similar averages. Vaughan has 400 more runs but the thing that seperates them is conversion rates. Both have good records against Australia, better than their career records and even better are their records against Australia. Surprisingly Laxman's record in Asia is worse that his overall career record whereas Vaughan seems to do better on pitches similar to those at home.
What does this prove? Not a lot...but I think it's interesting
