debateable both ways, Sobers was better at dominating on flatter wickets but Hutton is peerless when the going gets tough (bar the obvious two)

I disagree.
50 + 50 +50= average/rpi of 50
50+42+40*= average of 66 but rpi of 44
150>132.
Usually in cricket, the team with the most runs wins. And rpi is runs actually scored.

Yeah but isn't the batsmen's fault (at least in most cases), that he didn't get to bat longer. Feels unfair to punish him for that.

Srt averaged 58 in 90s where he didn't play bangla and played only 3 vs zimbos. He did underperformed in 2000s comperd to lara

Yeah Lara lacks the longevity of sustained brilliance to be definitively better than SRT, he's probably about Viv lvl.

That 42* is highly contextual
Johan
International Coach
Lara effectively played 14 years (1992-2006)
for Viv those 14 years would be (1974-1988)
130 matches, 11,904 runs @ 53.14, 34 hundreds in 230 innings.
116 matches, 8,853 runs @ 53.27, 27 hundreds in 177 innings. [WSC included]
similar enough, Lara was probably better tho, faced actual ATG attacks, his best serieses were levels above Viv's best and was not a downhill skier like Viv.

This guy was bashing me for having Lara higher than Viv just a week ago. Just how the turn tables.

Yeah so then I don't want to see anymore Chanders bashing if that's the case....

Hulk Hogan was telling the kids to take their vitamins and say their prayers a week before being revealed as the third man of the New World Order too, you know.

I don't considser it punishment either. Because you'll find that pretty much all the batsmen we rate here on CW also have pretty high risk as well: Hutton, Hobbs, Sobers, Hammond, Donald etc.

I don't think 90s Eng, NZ sl bolwers (except murali) are better than Bangladesh, zimbabwe bolwers.
