I meant that if a bat scores when the pressure is on, that's what I will rate him on regardless of if the team loses or wins. And pressure is more against stronger teams.

He will lose points for scoring less against average teams but not as many for me if he simply is incapable of delivering against top opposition.

Now can you address my recent post?
You are saying that there is no additional value brought by winning games? Or that you simply don't rate a player on the value they bring?

I still don't understand what point you were trying to make. Either you are confused or you have a very different way of rating players to me. Possibly both.

I am saying winning games is more than just one individual effort so I care more about how they perform under pressure individually than rating them based on the result which can't be solely attributed to them.

The exception to this are bowlers who show a tendency to win key games but even that has to be looked contextually at the strength of team, etc.

and ATG innings/test that led to a win for india. I know his fans would find a good innings from him and hype it up as an ATG innings to counter this
It would depend how we would define an ATG innings. But that isn't really a good criteria to rate someone over an entire career.

Series in godlike form yes is a criteria.

If pressure is your argument, you should rate bats who performed against opponents of comparable strength higher. Who is under more pressure- a player involved in a missmatch, where their own performance won't change the result, or one in a tight game whose performance will?

Truman retired in 1965

Davidson in 1963

sobers had nine years post Truman and elevent post Davidson and there were zero ATG bowlers in the period other than a young Lillee at the end
Davidson took 33 wickets in 4 games in 1960 series, Trueman averaged 20 odd against the mighty windies after his debut.

He scored 103 vs england in chennai chasing 387. Might not be atg but matchwinning. Has atg 136 at same ground vs wasim waqar and saqlain where he choked and india lost by 12 runs otherwise would have been there with lara 153*
