Sachin. Sobers. Smith.

[subshakerz]

neither Sachin or Smith are averaging more than 35 against that attack btw

Yeah thats just wrong. Stop overrating your cricketers of choice.

Yeah thats just wrong. Stop overrating your favorites.

 

[subshakerz]

Imo, probably not. Neither are Lara and handful of other atg batsmen.

Yeah pretty sure Tendulkar who did the same against McWarne and Smith against Steyn Philander can manage at least a 40 average against them. That wasn't even a peak attack it was an aging one.

Nice for young Sobers to do so but don't make this a big deal.

Bro get off of it. You are one of the ones who in the past made a big deal out of teenage Sachin doing decently at a tender age vs Donald and also in Australia (quite frankly vs a decent attack at best). Now I'm doing the same for a teenage Sobers and you're coming up with bs like attack not at its peak.

I am fine with you giving credit to Sobers the teen. But you were overdoing it by pretending it was something even ATG bats in their peak couldn't do. You don't even believe that.

Lol you're a mind reader now. Get off of it. Facing an attack of Lindwall, Miller, Johnston, Benaud and Johnson i said Smith and co "probably " wouldn’t average 40+. It's not sure thing, they very well could but not likely. Funny enough, I also mentioned Lara and I don't see you defending him even though he had higher averaging series vs McWarne and the Wws than Sachin but whatever.

non stop glazing of sachin.. aren't you tired of it? giving credit to sobers isn't taking anything away from sachin

Lol I didn't bring in Sachin and Smith they did.

Of course you are too busy carrying their water to notice.

I like how you move goalposts. It was a 35 average not 40. And sure I would even back Lara to do that against that aging attack.

tbf about that 55 series. Johnston could barely bowl. Benaud hadn’t done anything quality in tests yet and Miller and Johnson were almost finished.

It was a very high scoring series on both sides. iirc Benaud scored more than Sobers in fewer innings. Sobers was the 5th highest Windies runscorer.

Sure good for him that he didn’t fail like Worrell. But lets not overhype it.

Yes on top of that Sobers batted got two not outs and scored one fifty that series. Ok good for a teen but not earth shattering.

I think the 12-4-1 ranking of Sachin, Sobers and Smith reflects reality and broad consensus.

Burgey’s just making a post Ashes prediction tbh. England’s bowlers to dominate a pathetic Indian lineup and everyone talking them up before Smith smashes them.

England’s bowling is pathetic

India’s batting is pathetic

let’s see who is more pathetic. I think you’ll see India win

Nah man, you don't know what pathetic is until you see current Kohli and Rohit bat in test cricket.

England

England

England will win. Unless Bumrah is even better than B/G

 

[Thala_0710]

England will win.

Of course they will. Just hope Bumrah makes it competitive.

 

[subshakerz]

They will need batting wickets and Bumrah to miss tests. Both likely to happen.
