Which was a greater series victory - India in Australia in 2021 or Sri Lanka in South Africa in 2019?

[Daemon]

The BG was one of if not the greatest series of all time. Far greater spectacle and comeback narrative against a formidable side at home with the #1 bowler #1 batsman.

The SL series on paper was just as impressive an achievement, but the actual quality of cricket was lower imo.

Except for the greatest inning of all-time played.

Lara s 153 was in 1999

I love that innings but Perera's innings was objectively better.

No it was not

No it was not

Should read more threads here HB, then you'd see how right Sub is.

Perara innings was better imo because a SL batsman is not expected to do so good in SA condition.


Perara > Lara> Stokes

It's funny how his takes coincide Pak losses too. The more they lose, the more desperate his dumbass posts are belittling some Indian achievement.

Nah Lara literally played the better bowling on the tougher track

You are telling me a WI track is tougher for a WI batsman than SA track is for a SL Batsman?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Perea's innings wasn't objectively better, but surely it was the tougher track. That game was significantly more low scoring than the Lara match.

How can something like this be objective?

 

[Xix2565]

To answer the thread honestly, I'm biased towards India. So that's that, even if SL's achievement deserves more praise in history than it seems to get.

We have a thread for it.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Don't forget SL inexplicably dropped both Mathews and Chandimal for that series. They pulled off their greatest ever series win despite all time bad selection howlers.

Prior to their respective series , SL maybe had 1 to 2% chance of winning whereas Ind had 30% chance of winning. This is why I consider SL achievement better.

Yup tougher track, bowling as good if not better, plus it was an away game.

Bangladesh had ~0% chance of a 1-1 result. Two washouts were a much more likely way to get a drawn series there.

Winning a game can be considered a blip. Winning two games in a series is not a blip.
