186 at wellington against Southee/Wagner/Henry

You mean old burnt out Southee old man Wagner and mediocre Henry?

Henry's been good since 2021 and Wagner took 4/62 literally the next inning, try a different cope.

Henry’s been nothing til last year. Wagner and Southee were both on their last legs. Fix your own cope.

Last legs but Wagner got 4 fer in the match before and the match after, also Henry's been averaging sub 30 since 2021 every year. Nuh Uh, fix your own cope.

also, he made 2 hundreds against 2024 Henry too

That fantasy world of yours… does it have a name?

England.

England.

Ok this was good

Harry Brook will be averaging 55+ with 10,000 runs or more.

Yesterday you said 60+ , now 55+

 

[subshakerz]

You fundamentally are rating him lower for being the most efficient in his job...... Hope the absurdity is well communicated. If T20s creep in Tests even more and batsmen starts striking at mid 70s/80s on average; would you consider SRT as a very slow??

No I am rating his job a tad lower not his efficiency at it.

And as for SR it depends how you are relative t the era. Hutton was known as conservative by his era standards.

Where do you rate Hutton? (I should've known probably, but asking anyway)

Fast on good wickets, slow on bad wickets.

Pretty sure it's easier to bat slow on good and bad wickets.

7th best, ahead of Lara but behind Smith. Still quite high.

huge disagree, on bad wickets you can swing and get lucky and play a blinder, to survive on a bad wicket without swinging you really need high levels of technical skill.

Ok that's fair, I'd just switch Smith and Hutton.

Yeah you just pointed out why on bad wickets playing fast is more likely to get you out hence you need luck. Hence more difficult.

If you are more likely to play a blinder than grind it why should you grind it in the first place?

Come on this is basic logic.

I don't really agree, playing a blinder on a bad wicket has higher chance of getting you out but most large knocks played on tough wickets are blinders for a reason. more people are lucky than there are technical maestros in this world.

It's just generally tougher to play a logical knock on a bad wicket than playing a blinder.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

For certain players, scoring slowly is more difficult while for other players, scoring quickly is more difficult

I don’t think Sehwag was capable of having the same average with a strike rate of 40 while Dravid wasn’t capable of having the same average with a strike rate of 60

 

[subshakerz]

Thats the point. You are more likely to get out playing faster. Hence batting slower is easier as there is less risk involved. Generally speaking. We don't need to complicate this, it's obvious.

You just answered the question on which is easier to play by saying slow on bad wickets last page.

Regardless on good wickets playing slower is easier too.

Sure but if you asked Sehwag to play at a 80SR on a bad wicket and Dravid at a 40SR, Dravid is more likely to survive.
