Virender Sehwag vs Anil Kumble

[sayon basak]

What don't you understand about the phrase "on this basis"?
It was you who wanted to know if there was consistency of CW consensus. (see your second post)
I was looking at CW consensus across formats.
If you wanted to know my opinion on Sehwag v Kumble I would simply say this is another ridiculous player comparison. I have consistently refused to compare players with diametrically opposed skill sets.

I apologize.

He was a better match winner than Kumble in away conditions.

If by away you mean in SENA, then you can't be further from the truth really.

I apologize.

No need for apologies.
Just a simple misinterpretation/misunderstanding.

Yeah no.

I didn't realize Kumble's bowling average and WPM were better than that of Ashwin in won matches.

Ashwin in won matches:-
374 wickets @18.99; WPM= 6.131
Kumble in won matches:-
288 wickets @18.75; WPM= 6.698

If Kumble was simply a home matchwinner, I would have given this to Sehwag. But Kumble in the 2000s was just a tremendously impactful overseas bowler.

But Kumble had a hand in both key victories in England, took 44 wickets in 7 tests in Aus on roads to keep India competitive there, and important spells to win series in Pak and WI.

Sehwag needed more consistency in Eng, SA and NZ to make up this.

Sehwag would have needed to be a top 10 bat (maybe 6-7 actually) of his era to match Kumble. I think he is outside that comfortably.

He was consistently crap in those 3 places..... Especially while opening.

On these pitches, definitely. He would have struck at least a few breezy 50s.

The pitches are on the flatter side for half the games, Sehwag won't be half bad here. And let's be real, I will outperform Rohit here.

Would you out-bowled Bumrah, given that both of you chuck it?

If I am allowed to bowl from middle of the pitch, then I can.
