Your ATG team without Bradman or Sobers

Hayden had technical difficulties against the moving ball, which he got away with in Australia and the sub continent. Home track bully might be a fairer term.
In comparison as you can see here Sachin was a complete batsmen and performed everywhere. In fact his worst average touring average was in Zimbabwe

Waugh isn't in the same area code as Viv and I don't think that I am the only one who thinks so. Additionally stats for a batsman doesn't tell the entire story. So because Lara and Weekes have better averages than IVA doesn't make them better even though they were both ATG batsmen. If averages meant everything Barrington would be a top 10 batsman, which he is not nearly.

He's in the same area code. Just a couple of blocks away, in a different neighbourhood.

Fair enough.

Not that much better i am sure of that. Not many have ever been better than Hayden. Point is if ever there was a flat track bully it was Sutcliffe, he was as ruthless as they come.

14 matches in Australia at 63.70
33 matches in England at 64.60
2 matches in New Zealand at 12.00
5 matches in South Africa at 46.44

Just screams FTB, doesn't it.

What's a Flat Track Bully anyway? If it's a batsman that scores the majority of their runs on good wickets against weaker opposition - then Sutcliffe can't be an example. He was a great player who made lots of runs against the best available opposition.

haha, yeah man, as much as I love Viv and I rate him higher than most that was a little over the top
