show me one comment i've made that justifies the above statement.
Just coz you tend to think along parochial lines doesnt mean everyone does.

all i am saying is, he never played an ODI, so we dont know.
there are cases of ODI players who are pretty darn mediocre but awesome test players and braddles could eb one of them. or he could be one of tendy-richards.

i would have to agree that "the don" is the greatest cricketer ever. his records speak for themself, i wish i had the pleasure of seeing him play. but its impossible to compair era's in any sport, mostly due to the advances in equipment and playing conditions. would a bevan score so many runs or a warne taken so many wickets had they played on the uneven surfaces? and the primativeness of the equipment (compaired to todays game). its like compairing jessie owans 100m record to tim montgomary's 100m. the advances in footware and tracks make it impossble to compaire, but makes for an interesting topic of discussion. :D

In the one-day game I'm confident he'd average about one dismissal every 10 innings if he batted at three, so I'd expect him to average close to 1000.

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

A preposterous statement, such an average would be a mammoth achievement of immense magnitude, beyond the realm of human capabilties. No one has ever averaged even close to 1000 at any level.

Yeah he has bought it up in two seperate threads, but now I know he is one of the posters from ICF it all makes sense as to why he loves bagging Aussies.

So from here on I will leave the sad sorry sod to drown in his own hatred of Australia.

some would say Sobers was a better cricketer.

And like i said, ICF is just about as disgraceful as this site is for the presence of racist idiots like Scallywag.
Notice morons like him and benchmark bring parochialism and racism into the equation, not me.

another paranoid comment from a sensetive poster. i've backed up my views with logical thinking and evidence. Which is what you havnt in this thread.
My mention of the aboriginals is to illustrate a point, not cheapshot the aussies.
And i am 'from' the ICF as much as you are 'from' this board- ICF is one of the many boards i visit and share opinions on. Presence of a few gits there doesnt make it a racist website anymore than presence of gits like Scallywag makes this a racist website.

another categoric LIE from scallywag just like his LIES on the thread about aussie cricketer's behaviour. You are so damn insecure that you cant take any criticism of your beloved cricket team. Idiotic really.

haha calling me a moron doesnt effect me, only outlines your line of thinking and hypocracy...

Who (apart from you) would argue that sobers was better? What evidence do you have to back this up, seeing your the self proclaimed king of backing up your outrageous statements... im not doubting that sobers was an awesome cricketer, just not as good as bradman, and he'd be the first to admit that... Here's a statistic: Bradmans average: 99.94... Sobers average: 57.78.....

Can't argue with that..!

earth calling benchie.

I said it can be argued that Sobers was a better cricketer.Not batsman.
Sobers was a great batsman ( though behind Bradman) but a MUCH superior bowler and fielder.
Overall, i would rate Sobers as the best CRICKETER of the last century.

an allrounder is a better cricketer than a specialist as he posesses a superior overall mastery over cricketing skills.
Which is why Imran Khan/Botham/Kapil/Miller etc. are better cricketers than Richards, Gavaskar, Border,Greg Chappell,Miandad,Lillee,Holding,Thommo,Tendy,Hayden,Dravid,McGrath etc etc etc.

PS: I am not the only one- MANY cricket conoisseurs and fans rate Sobers as the best cricketer of the last century. Try visiting other boards for a while to guage opinion

haha and im parochial?... the fact is that you only are saying that because Bradman is Australian... hahaha you really are making a fool of yourself here...

Bradman COULD bowl.... what evidence have you seen that has shown sobers is a better fielder? you being really old and wise... at 23 years old!...

i think i'd pick bradman anyday of the week over sobers.... and im sure im not alone




By other forums do you mean the racist one you go too? nah i think i'll pass :cool:
