Who's Done the Most Damage?

[Johan]

Tho each set of 10 is meant to be a tier of Batsman

Infinity = Bradman

120 = Hobbs

98+ = BAB

94-98 = Smith, Lara

90-94 = Elite ATG

80-90 = Bonafide ATG + ATG careers

70-80 = Bonafide ATG + maybe not ATG careers

60-70 = ATVG like Kohli or Kanhai

50-60 = Crowe, Greenidge, Gower types

40-50 = Hayden, Cook etc

30-40 = Atherton, Duckett, maybe Chanderpaul etc

20-30 = Jadeja, Pope etc

10-20 = Ken Rutherford and Mike Brearley's of the world

0-10 = Tailenders who can bat a bit

0 = Shoaib Bashir

Gower beats him statistically, stalemate on peer reputation and Gower wins on eye Test.

@Thala_0710 Dread it, hate it but you can never beat David Gower>Gordon Greenidge argument.

 

[Johan]

Gosh when I leave, I hope Luffy retains my will and keeps the fight against Greenidge alive.

You can't tempt mein into arguing it here.... I'm argued out today.... Explaining why Bumrah is better to a whole group of kohli fans takes a lot out of you

He used to have Greenidge over Boycott

what did you even argue? stats? numbers?

 

[Agonizingly Awkward]

You made this post and did even put the OG @Prince EWS and Lillee

Once again goes on to show my unparalleled ability at raising a Cricketer.

 

[Thala_0710]

Yes, match winning performances, everything. They kept being stuck on longevity, workload management and other shitty arguments like SENA conditions are easier for Bumrah than Kohli

I joined the forum too late to feel it's impact

Less one sided than I thought it'd be.

 

[Thala_0710]

Those were the best arguments though... One argument was that Bumrah is taking wkts of guys like Duckett.... These are the same lot that argue Kohli is better than Root too though

 

[Coronis]

I honestly don't recall a single argument you made against Viv.

Generally I don’t have to make arguments for/against players, their records speak for themselves.

If you underrate Root, you are either an idiot or you are an Australian Right winger.

You don't know the levels Kohli fans go to here

 

[Al Salvador]

Seems like I'm the only one who haven't done any damage to any players reputation

 

[honestbharani]

The most (and only) damage they have done is most likely to their own heads and brains.

Literally no one thinks any less of any of these players just coz of a couple of try-hards' agendas.

I wonder, who did the Hit piece on Peter May?

Some how, Boycott and Worrell destroyed May in both 2022 and 2024 Batting ranking polls and that was definitely not the general opinion and is certainly not the general opinion outside of this forum, so how was that achieved and what maestro did so?

 

[shortpitched713]

Luffy had @shortpitched713 thinking saying Williamson is as good as Ponting is an acceptable statement, that's some ATG work.

At least Kane's later career isn't falling off a cliff, which is more than can be said for a number of BBB candidates where everything looked great... until it didn't.

No idea, May was quality, certainly better than Boycott.
