    Injured /unavailable players who could have changed series

    Zaheer Khan in 2011 eng vs ind test series Viv and marshall in 1988 pak series 1st test(I am not sure about this one,i think they made themselves unavailable after the odi series) Alan davidson also missed a test in 1960/61 wi series,and I think he was still the mvp of that series

    Peak steve smith vs peak tendulkar

    In 1988 vs Pakistan,he was the highest run scorer for west indies(avg-69),even after playing 2 tests out of 3 Furthermore,stats of Viv whenever he played lilee-thommo together (without dead rubber) In test cricket -530 runs,12 innings,2 centuries,7 tests,all in away In wsc supertests-303 runs,7...

    The Most Inexcusable Droppings by Selectors

    Bill lawry in 1971 in that seventh test?trevor goddard in 1970 after the third test(not sure) against australia as he wouldn't play in England

    Sydney Barnes vs Len Hutton

    Once you remove South Africa(first test series ever for them)from his stats,it is 77 wickets from 15 matches@13,also he played excessively in Scg, whenever he played in Australia (like 4 out of 6 matches),also keep in mind how bowling friendly that era was even compared to 1910s,still an...

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Ricky Ponting

    Peak thompson? wasn't it like that, thompson got an injury in 1976 Pakistan series and he was never the same bowler he used to be?i think ,instead of 1977-78 aus series,you could mention his performance in 1982-83 away series in Pakistan

    Sachin Tendulkar vs Michael Jordan

    Also you haven't included any of tyson/holyfield/kasparov,which is quite surprising (i don't know who is lomu,maybe lance Armstrong I guess,but if it is a nickname for any of the above mentioned,then apologies ,also please excuse my english)

    Better combo round II. Sobers & Marshall vs Sachin and Imran

    Yeah,i realised,I was needlessly harsh on hadlee.i underrated his home record and mid 80's australia,England too much. about the question,yes,sobers is just too much gifted ability wise compared to imran.(I mean sobers could bowl 3 disciplines with his left hand)Also,marshall had probably...

    Better combo round II. Sobers & Marshall vs Sachin and Imran

    No,but Pakistan was the strongest team after the West Indies,and again this is just my opinion,you can differ

    Better combo round II. Sobers & Marshall vs Sachin and Imran

    Garfield sobers and Malcom marshall probably.one thing is always surprising for me,how much little marshall played at home,out of his 81 tests he just played 31 matches at home.(To compare, McGrath 66-58 home, Ambrose 52-46 home,hadlee 43-43)Also,with due respect ,i don't get the comparison with...

    Who is second greatest odi batsman after viv?

    I think main weakness of Sachin's odi record is his not-so-good record outside asia in 1990s(barring few tournaments like 1992 tri series),also i am not so sure,but he was probably not that good against South Africa in 1990s

    Who is second greatest odi batsman after viv?

    No one from pre 1992 in top 10?you can lower the criteria of 400 runs,also i think kohli 2023 campaign will always be underrated when you consider the rest of the team sr factor,because of a quickfire opener like rohit.

    Curtly Ambrose vs Dale Steyn

    Ambrose:10 5Ws and 1 10Ws in 46 away matches(excluding dead rubber) Steyn:10 5Ws and 2 10WS in 41 away matches Slight advantage to steyn. I think,one important aspect of Ambrose's career was how much he helped his side whenever they defended any 200 or lower than 200 target in 4th innings.By my...

    Top 10 of every Sport

    Why do you guys rate both of botvinnik,tal ahead of lasker?i mean,lasker was world number 1 for 25 years not only by being wcc champion, but also by chessmetric standards.lasker was also one of the greatest ever tournament player(greatest,if you believe alekhine)Botvinnik had a terrible record...

    Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

    Hobbs had an average of 57 in test cricket before first world war,apart from ranjitsinghji and faulkner, anyone else crossed 40? (At least with 1000 runs).Also if i am not wrong, he was the first one to successfully combat with south african googly bowlers, Don't think, Sachin was ever this...
