Jaiswal Vs Brook Vs Mendis Vs Rachin Vs green Vs webster vs Konstas Vs Jacob Bethel

[Johan]

Smith is comfortably better than Root on peer rep.

Tendulkar is comfortably better than Ponting on peer rep, therefore later is not an ATG.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Averages 40 and has an ATG ton. It's perfectly fine. The SA one though is like so funny..... Especially given Sachin has arguments to be the best touring batsman in SA.

Tbf this is Narayana. Dude was arguing that Kohli was better than Sachin.

Now , i am trying to become a mature cricket fan.

 

[andruid]

Brook has shown himself to be the complete package already. Excellent temperament, great technique, fantastic SR and already proven in different conditions. He has the makings of the first ATG from England since Botham.

Jaiswal is super talented but still somewhat hasty and rough around the edges like early Kohli.

Tendulkar was more of a 90s cricketer, Ponting a 2000s cricketer, and Pontings peer rating in the 2000s was ahead of any bat.

and then it fell off greatly to the point it's all Lara and Sachin. Regardless, Root doesn't have any peer rep issues and has always been rated very highly.

 

[Thala_0710]

Ok but he got it over 40 with a near ATG tour against peak Steyn. That erases all doubts.

Didn't even just get it to above 40, got it to 46.5

What does peer rating have anything to do with modern 21st century cricketers that we saw? Ask a bunch of peers, most of them will rate Kohli over Smith/Root.

 

[Thala_0710]

Because no other batter is lucky enough to play 6-7 tours to increase his average above 40.

The more you play, the more the chance of your average going down actually.
Before his last tours there, Sachin was averaging in 58.5 in Aus and 62+ in Eng.

Um, no, Ponting by retirement was comfortably seen as an all-time great.

I haven't seen Root feted that way until recently. But like I said I am willing to concede he will.be one by career end.

Which peers are you talking about?

gotta count those.

 

[Coronis]

Poor in Australia is good and all but peer reputation is such a ridiculously bad argument for any players man

ftfy

I don't know why we shouldn't count the collective assessment of those who actually faced the players in question. Even you agreed it has some value.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Maybe it can be a tie breaker although I feel players that aren’t from a Big 3 country are at a big disadvantage for peer rating

 

[Johan]

now that Coronis and Subs are both here, I just want to say, the best overseas Batsman since 1970 is IVA Richards, not SR Tendulkar.

Nah he had the advantage of playing half as many countries. It's close but Tendulkar for me.

too much ATG work away from home. Viv for me.

Rare occasion of me agreeing with PC.

I would say Smith personally. Some others worth mentioning. Border, Smith, Waugh.
