    Garry Sobers vs Imran Khan

    Sobers, if Imran was black then him.

    Dale Steyn vs Muralitharan

    No comparison here, Murali is the greatest bowler of all time. Spinners averaging 29-30 are worth their weight in Gold and here we have a 22 averaging spinner, Malcolm Marshall is the only one who comes close.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Oh yes, India lost due to Pant’s keeping. None of the Indians actually believe that, our top order stinks vs spin, thats the reason of loss not the half chance that Pant didn’t take.

    Is Ravichandran Ashwin an ATG test bowler?

    Ashwin choking all around.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    An Ian Healy prototype won’t have a career in this era, for me he was an absolutely mediocre player. Its shameful that a player like him got to play 100 tests, he was absolutely utterly Rubbish, a poor mans Saha.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    makes sense for all the international teams, Foakes has been kicked from the team, Saha’s career is over , all the up and coming wk bats are proper batsman. England even played an actually bad wicketkeeper like Bairstow over Foakes.

    Discussing Bazball approach in Test Cricket

    Nah, they couldn't figure out that Wicketkeeper should make runs in over a hundred years until Gilchrist came in and the next set of Wk batsman started following him.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    And to take those 90/100 catches you have to be a damn good keeper, probably one of the best ever. Even that won't be good enough to balance that 10 points difference plus the impact of those knocks.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    No, it doesn't work like that because he didn't actually lose that match for Eng. They lost by 152 runs not 50, so as I said a wicketkeeper losing the match for a team exclusively bcoz of poor keeping is quite rare. If you are a decent keeper that's good enough, let's say if I have a keeper...

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Yeah obviously they wouldn't have won. But guess what, they will win this one because of Jamie.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Which sitter was that and would England have won if he didn’t drop it?

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    To be honest, Knott might be a better keeper bcoz I saw Foakes in India and he gave more chances than Pant. Still the difference would be miniscule.

    Australia A vs India A games

    Sundar is a pretty solid player, he can easily bat at 5 and bowl tidy overs. I would have him over Jadeja in the Perth test.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    I Its so simple. Catching a ball with gloves on is a far far inferior skill to batting and bowling, people don’t use their brain at all and just want to side with the popular opinion created by pastry chefs in England, you don’t need a special person to keep wickets.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Both Jamie Smith and Kyle Verynne have already surpassed Knott. Both England and SA won’t replace them with someone like Knott.

    Australia A vs India A games

    Rutiraj Gaekwad acerages around 43 in fc with str rate of 55. Shaw averages 48 at str rate 83 and has more centuries per innings and is not even in the team. How is this low level class C third grade cricketer even in contention for a slot. Hopefully Easwaran outscores him otherwise we will...

    India Xi vs Pakistan Xi (from 1970s)

    Pakistan might have more ATG pacers but the difference in batting quality is large as well, Sachin Dravid, Gavaskar are on another level compared to any other Pakistani batsman. Pakistan has one ATG batter, three ATVG batters. India has Three ATG, one Potential ATG, two ATVgs, so the difference...

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Imagine telling Zimbabwe cricket fraternity that we are taking away Andy Flower away from your history books but giving back Alan Knott.

    Andy Flower vs Alan Knott

    Andy Flowers record is so balanced, I would rate him even higher than Amla tbh, probably Younis Khan level.

    Lets not have any pedestrian. Replace the pedestrian with a top class batsman. :jockey:
