Sunil Gavaskar vs Allan Donald

[Johan]

Better Cricketer?

 

[DrWolverine]

If longevity isn’t an issue, Donald is just as great as any other fast bowler with the exception of Maco whereas Sunil Gavaskar was never able to achieve that level

 

[ma1978]

Donald because Gavaskar sucks

 

[Johan]

Donald because Gavaskar sucks

what does he suck though?

But isn't Gavaskar the best opener in the last 75 years? That doesn't work here?

 

[DrWolverine]

As an opener he is the best.
As a batsman he is great but below some easily.

Again, he wasn't the greatest opener of the 70's and didn't exactly separate himself from GG in the 80's.

Yeah

Donald is also below quite a few imo.

And I mentioned that because you yourself have said that quite a few times to justify voting Gavaskar in other polls, nothing else.

Khawaja will overtake him within 1-2 years.

The more modern the better, surprised he hasn't said that Scott boland is better than Malcolm Marshall yet

 

[Johan]

We need him to counterbalance the 90s Bias or no

 

[Thala_0710]

You support him till he says Jaiswal > Hutton

Overall aggregate average of openers (1971-1987) When Gavaskar played -36.xyz

Gavaskar AVG -50.xyz

Overall aggregate average of openers (2016-2025) When Khawaja played - 33.xyz
Khawaja AVG - 52.xyz.

Sunil Gavaskar played on some very easy home pitches but Khawaja opened in some deadly pitches throughout the world.
