    Haha yeah it was you got me. Do you have the same evidence to prove the opposite? I've at least given more relevant reasons why that...

    That's true but not quite what I'm trying to say. Imran may have bowled a good couple hundred more balls at Gavaskar over his career...

    No but Viv did have a tendency to often get bored or careless and lose his wicket to lesser bowlers. He didn't maximise like Smith...

    Form can evaporate at any time, there is no guarantee it will continue based on performing well in a previous series 6 months ago. At...

    You ignored my point about how many more balls Imran bowled at Gavaskar. But you're aware of the context behind that rate now. If you...

    It's not arbitrary, I set it at that amount because that's a fair indicator whether the batsmen got out early or not. If I set it at 40...

    Given that he was getting out cheaply to other lower calibre bowlers during that series I don't think it's just down to Imran bowling...

    Cipher replied to the thread Your ATG team pace bowling trio.
    No it isn't silly, the reason I bring it up is because Imran only got Viv out once in any other series. So 4 times in a 5 match series...

    He wouldn't be able to do that no, but if we say that Gavaskar punished the other Pakistani bowlers for another 10-20 runs before...

    Hmm Keith Miller opened the bowling and batted higher than Imran but he is up there.
