International Debutant
comparing the two great Indian all-rounders, who played a major part in different eras
giving some stats and figures from the perfect all-rounder thread, along with Millar's to serve as an anchor
runs and wkts per test
Kapil 40 & 3.3
Vinoo 48 & 3.6
Millar 54 & 3.0
effectiveness
Kapil = 96.1
Vinoo = 109.2
Millar = 105
though Mankad has played less tests than Kapil, I guess thats due to India playing less games in his era, if someone can confirm this.
both the all-rounders share something in common, i.e. running the non-striker out for backing up. Mankad did that too an Australian and the term 'Mankaded' was invented. Kapil 'Mankaded' Peter Kirsten in an ODI
Mankad is also known to have batted at every position, also being involved in that 400+ runs opening partnership .... Kapil got the award for wisdon Indian cricketer of the century in 2002 though sometimes one wonders if Kapil really did justice to his talent, especially with the bat
overall, both of them are pretty equal in my book and you can't go wrong with picking either of them.
