Vaughan of Ashes 02 and through 03 was a better test match batsman than Pietersen.

Learn it, love it, and learn to deal with it.

Go away BLE/SW.

I see you are not disputing my facts.

Most wise.

vaughan's form through 2002 against india and during the ashes leading into 2003 was truely breathtaking. by far my favourite batsman to watch whilst in full flow, those pull shots off length balls and his cover drives are a work of art.

Lolz at BLE, always finds a way back.

I've been written off more times than Shane Warne before an Ashes series.

Yet time after time I return to weave my magic web upon the board Limey's, taking wickets galore with each post.

Haha, biggest attention seeker.

Pietersen in the best series of his career will be better than Vaughan of Ashes 02/03.

Moreover, Pietersen will have more top-draw series than Vaughan will.

Pietersen in the best series of his career will be better than Vaughan of Ashes 02/03. .

And that best series of his career will be against a bowling attack of similar calibre to the one Vaughan faced in said Ashes?

He has a point to be fair.

If you want to go stats-mad...

KP, age 26, ashes 06/07 Ave. 54
Warne/McGrath/Clark/Lee

Vaughan, age 28, ashes 02/03 Ave 63.3
Warne/MaGrath/Gillespie/Bichel.

Bowling attacks similar, averages not a mile apart

If you don't want to go stats-mad...

KP will be as good as Vaughan was that series and better.

 

[four_or_six]

How can you say that KP won't face a better bowling attack in the next ten years though?

 

[Richard]

Go away BLE/SW.

Haha, it seems you beat me to it by quite some way...

 

[I Lust Cricket]

Thanks to all the genuine cricket fans who stuck to the topic, and a curse on the usual trolls who attempted to spoil it.

 

[Richard]

The genuine CWers almost invariably want any stupid thread started by you closed on the spot so that the poor gullible souls who think they're following a legitimate topic aren't suckered into helping propegate your nonsense.

 

[simmy]

Anyone else think that KP could be one of England's greatest ever batsman?

 

[Richard]

Anyone else think this thread, like virtually all his, isn't worth bothering with?

Hmm, I doubt that he would ever be able to become our greatest ever, but I would like to be surprised.

Jack Hobbs and Wally Hammond are the two that I don't think he will surpass.

 

[Richard]

Hutton, too. And probably Sutcliffe.

Thread's a bit daft... but I'm always quite interested in the 'how good is KP' stuff. Cause it's interesting to see who will be the big new superstars of the game now we've lost/are losing quite a few really good/great players at once.
