Richardson. Kanhai. Greenidge.

[Johan]

not nearly as many as Smith, Hayden or Sehwag

There's no definitive measure for that, not that it's fair either considering Smith (2007-14) and Hayden (2000-2007) had ATG sides who would win anyway.

 

[Johan]

Boycott hundreds

Wins: 10
Draws: 12
Losses: 0

Sehwag hundreds

Wins: 8
Draws: 10
Losses: 5

Looks like England never lost when Geoffrey Boycott made a hundred, heh.

this has nothing to do with anything

Mhm.

 

[shortpitched713]

The 43 average is probably why

He had a much, much better peak than that and definitely hung around too long. But okay.

 

[kyear2]

Also better than Smith/Sehwag/Hayden.

Yes.

And at least on par with Boycott.

 

[kyear2]

Yeah I don’t think the raw averages do Greenidge justice. For most of his career there wasn’t daylight between him and Sunny and I’d rate him above Boycott.

also people totally underrate Smith, Sehwag and Hayden. Being flawless is a trait but each of them had match winning brilliance which I couldn’t attribute to a Boycott

There really wasn't daylight between him and Sunny.

Sunny was better, and rated accordingly. But not to the extent believed today.

SIR Gordon played on wayyyy too long, but was still easily my favorite player of the era.

mine too. I missed his prime but even when he was older those cuts and flowing drives were brilliant. I could watch the highlights of his 214 anytime. Pen of the ATG test innings

 

[Johan]

rough that Kanhai is still better.

wait a second, weren't you just three days ago dismissing Viv's performances against England because they were "minnows" and now are calling Greenidge's runs against England ATG???

I like messing with sensitive Brits

 

[Johan]

I like messing with sensitive Brits

aren't you one yourself

 

[ma1978]

aren't you one yourself

yes which is why I feel I have the right to do it

 

[Thala_0710]

yes

Predictions for the Eng vs Ind series then

 

[Johan]

wow never seen a man taking being called overly sensitive in such a positive manner.

 

[ma1978]

I thought you were referring to my citizenship

 

[Johan]

Oh

 

[ma1978]

Predictions for the Eng vs Ind series then

3-2 England.

 

[Thala_0710]

3-2 England.

@Johan @capt_Luffy remind me of the exact winner in this case?

 

[Johan]

@Johan @capt_Luffy remind me of the exact winner in this case?

I win if England wins 4-1 or better, Luffy wins with 3-2, but considering Bumrah will play three games, god be with you.
