    Kanhai. Haynes. Chanderpaul.

    Haynes <= Chris Gayle and quite sure that Chanders > Gayle.

    Zak Crawley vs Kraigg Brathwaite

    He averaged 30 and had a better face also wasn’t blocking a generational cricketer like Adam Gilchrist.

    Zak Crawley vs Kraigg Brathwaite

    The worst player to play 100 tests is Ian Healy, the specialist fielder.

    The value of a specialist keeper vs a wicketkeeper batsman

    Good Lord, this is a travesty. Okay so if you are saying that Healy is better or equal to Flower as a cricketer because of his quality wicketkeeping than the likes of Rizwan, Watling must be in a different league to Flower as cricketers, coz they are amazing wicketkeepers and far better batsman...

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    Good to see that there is no specialist keeper in both the teams.

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    He could hit a hundred and still not inspire any confidence.

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    Its too difficult for someone like you, i can understand. Next time, try to use you brain and actually post an opinion instead of using one liners from your favourite sitcom.

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    Again, the top 25 oldest players in test cricket were all pre 1950. That must give you enough idea about what the standard of test cricket used to be. One off instances like Boycott, Misbah don’t really help your point here. There are many batsman in that list, don’t know why you only...

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    In the top 25 you will see players pre 1950. That's conclusive evidence for me.

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    Boycott was born in 1940 and ended his test career at 41 years of age, are you talking about some backyard game they played where boycs scored 100. Your first argument is factually wrong, secondly I knwo about Boycs, Misbah, Khan they are one offs.In the pre war every other player was playing...

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    See, this is intellectual dishonesty. Nobody has given you an equation here that batsman starting their career at nth year will be lesser skilled than the one who started at n+1. There is a nascent period in every sport. You are extrapolating my post in a silly manner.

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    You can only compare those batsman with their contemporaries, they are legends but none of them ever faced a cherry at 140 kph let alone 150.

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    C Can you pray tell how a 48 year old Jack Hobbs was able to play 140-150 kph, he must have been a genetic freak. See, people like you exist everywhere, closing your eyes and accepting any BS that is told, helps propagate myths and fantasies.

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    If Brooks retires with that average and strike rate then why not? Didn't get your point.

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    What does that mean? Are you one of those who thinks Trumper faced 150kph bowlers on sticky pitches, if that's who you are I don't argue against intellectual dishonesty so not interested in your views. Cricket was a different game back then, its's stupid to compare these two. @Johan Ponting...

    Ricky Ponting vs Victor Trumper

    Next Up, Ricky Ponting vs Eddie Paynter. These were rookie players, get over them FGS. It's like comparing Isaac Newton with Aryabhatta.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Indian team would be so good without Rohit. Hopefully he retires or is thrown out after this match itself. Idiotic captain.

    Kapil Dev vs Geoffrey Boycott

    Kapil was better, he is basically the James Anderson of that era without any support except that he was great against Wi and Aus (top two teams)both home and away, something which Jimmy couldn’t pull off. He was also a 32 averaging bat which alone would have got him a OBE or MBE in England.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Waqar Younis

    Bumrah, better against top teams and away from home. There is also very little chance of him regressing as much as Waqar.
