Drakes is obviously superior with the ball.

And with the bat, Ide rather have Drakes go out there than Bangar is 40 runs were required, but Ide rather Bangar is 150 were required.

But really, Drakes is a far better player than Bangar.

Amazing deduction Richard.

Drakes 33 Test wickets @ 41.27, 1x5w
51 ODI wickets @ 25.35, 3x4w, 2x5w
614 FC wickets @ 26.16, 28x5w, 2x10w
277 OD wickets @ 26.18, 8x4w, 4x5w

Bangar 7 Test wickets @ 49
7 ODI wickets @ 54.85
118 FC wickets @ 39.76, 2x5w
45 OD wickets @ 47.77

Clearly Drakes only just manages to be equal with Bangar. :rolleyes:

If you ask me Drakes would be more equal if he played in India too.
South Africa is a much better place for seam-bowling in general than India.
Like I have always said, don't judge differences in bowling stats without looking at conditions. Watch\analyse the bowlers first and analyse the conditions first.

If there were 40 off 20 balls I'd prefer Drakes than Bangar.
In a similar situation, I'd prefer Drakes to Dravid.
However, as Drakes himself has found-out, Bangar's no mean player in such a situation.
Basically, I'd prefer Bangar with the bat in almost any situation.
And ball, already discussed. See above.

Didn't Bangar play a couple of really quick knocks last winter?

Yeah, I did mention those!

I was referring to the West Indies ODIs in which Bangar pasted the WI attack on a couple of vital occasions.
