Good/Great bowlers that owned good/great batsman...

[Sir Alex]

He only scored 30-40...that is not "played well" by any means. Come on man, fair's fair.Tendulkar is a magnificent batsmen, def in the uppermost echleon of batsmen after Sir Bradman, but let us not make him out to be the best thing since sliced bread.

He is a god. Even gods have their off days. (Sivanukkum sanidasai - Even Lord Shiva had to suffer the wrath of Shani...A Tamil saying )

 

[Burgey]

They're not the same, Burgey. Its like placing the 18th hole a kilometre away with a gale blowing in your face, and claiming the golfer missed the shot when it mattered most. You can't compare a failure chasing 360 against the worlds best side in a single match to a career of performing sub par against a side over a decade.

Ok mate. You win. Whatever. I never said he performed badly against Aus for a decade, I never even said McGrath bettered him over their careers.

The reference to the Warne posts was as to their nature, rather than their content or to a comparison between the two players' records - again, I'd have thought that was pretty apparent, but it seems when it comes to certain topics one ought not take a single liberty. That will probably do me on the subject though. I don't want to tread on any more toes, have prety much had the whole thing tbh. Will soon become apparent to me that the man in question is infallible and I was a fool to even make a neutral, let alone arguably negative, comment about him.

You're taking this too seriously, Burgey

Yes I am, aren't I? OT > CC these days - more fun! I should lighten up a little.
