    Anderson vs Bumrah

    With due consideration for his longevity, I would have gone with Anderson before the recent B-G trophy. Bumrah having that kind of series takes him into rarefied territory. Only a select few in history have been capable of that kind of quality. It is comfortably Bumrah now imo.

    Javed Miandad vs Geoffrey Boycott

    Miandad was like main dad to his team mates. Boycott was like step dad to his.

    Viv Richards & Allan Donald vs Brian Lara & Curtly Ambrose

    Barry Richards is slowly becoming the most mythologized player in history.

    Tendulkar Gavaskar Kapil Dravid Bumrah Kohli Ashwin Jadeja Sehwag Kumble Laxman, Hazare, Mankad and a couple of others nearly there. Going by what they did in tests.

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

    Logie scored 2 test hundreds, that too against India's pop gun attack. There wasn't a single bowler on either occasion averaging under 35 in tests, apart from Kapil. He isn't a better batsman than Imran who in spite of having a slightly misleading average at least scored hundreds in a variety of...

    Greg chappell vs sunil gavaskar

    It is probably the other Richards who scored the 104th most runs in that decade. Was also never dismissed in tests by any bowler between 1971-79.

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

    These are tough hundreds just in SA. Not even getting to tough runs elsewhere. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/india-tour-of-south-africa-1992-93-62289/south-africa-vs-india-2nd-test-63587/full-scorecard...

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

    Yes, he didn't face any minnows but that is cancelled out by Marshall not having to face his own batting lineup which was better than Imran's or Hadlee's. When you consider everything, Hadlee and Imran did not have any net advantage that Marshall didn't have. All 3 had amazing peaks as bowlers...

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

    Sobers' best argument against Imran in secondary skill is his insane workload and sheer volume of wickets. When he retired, he was among the top half a dozen or so bowlers in history in aggregate wickets, which is crazy for someone in his weaker skill. Purely on secondary skill, I do think...

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

    9 year peak of Sachin between 1993-2002 is basically equivalent to 6 year peak of Marshall between 1983-89. Marshall has way more match winning performances (undoubtedly helped by his team mates Roberts, Garner, Holding, Walsh etc.) though he was certainly the top dog. However, he did not stand...

    Best South African opener?

    Take out their best series and they are left with many where they contributed.

    Best South African opener?

    Barry Richards didn't even play as many tests as the number of characters in his first name. A WSC hero nevertheless. Unquestionably makes all time WSC team.

    Jack Hobbs vs Garry Sobers

    Incidentally Hobbs had a son called Leonard. An absurd stat about Hobbs: Except the second calendar year from his debut (1909) and the last (1930), he averaged 40+ in all calendar years. In the case of Bradman, it is even more absurd (but expected). Except 1936, he averaged 40+ in all the...

    Kumar Sangakkara vs Javed Miandad

    @Prince EWS is as much of an outlier in rating cricketers as Bradman or Garner the batsman among all cricketers.

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Herbert Sutcliffe

    Gavaskar's debut series performance against WI does get downplayed at times citing weak opposition attack. The reality is that India would have lost both the 4th and 5th tests if he hadn't scored heavily in them. He played an unbeaten match saving hundred in the last innings of the 4th test...

    Steve Smith vs Sachin Tendulkar (after 205 innings)

    We all know now that Sachin has declined to work 70 hours a week and a corporate baron has developed an immense dislike for him.
