Because why not get in on the latest surge of comparison threads?

Both were almost but not quite there all rounders who chipped in with wickets and runs at critical junctures.


So the question is who was the greater cricketer?

Shastri wasn't a game-breaker like Vettori, more a contributor (albeit a really good one). That's why his double at the SCG was such a surprise, was unusual for him to lead a game like that. Vettori, on the other hand, was always trying to bowl you out and had more significant performances. So, overall, Vettori.

I've never heard Vettori scream out 'oh master' at a bog standard cover drive for 4 just because it was Tendulkar who played the shot, so he wins.

I think most people will judge this based on Shastri's commentary and Vettori will have a landslide victory as a result.

That being said, after lobbying heavily for this, I am truly glad with the surge in comparison threads. Fun times ahead. Just need some of those prickly ones like Steve Smith vs Virat Kohli or Ben Stokes vs Ravichandan Ashwin

Vettori has most definitely never yelled "are you ready to partayyyyyy" to a crowd of 10,000, so Shastri wins
