    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    BTW Rizwan is also miles ahead of Alan Knott.

    The 4th Greatest Wicket keeper Batsman?

    Alan Knott :lol: Averaging 32 after 95 tests, these old timers are really something. Why not have Wridhhiman Saha as 4th then, 40 tests 3 centuries at 30 and was as good a keeper as any, and that man was dropped for Pant. Maybe Foakes can also come in with 2 hundreds in 25 tests.

    *Official* New Zealand tour of India 2024

    I hope the conditions remain similar to this, pretty sure we are gonna beat Newzealand.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    I know that you are getting wet dreams coz the name of his IPL team starts with Chennai but he is from Maharashtra, so pipe down.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Eswaran should come in for Rohit, he has better performances and sample size is also bigger. There is absolutely no reason to include Ruturah here, he doesn' belong there.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Ruturaj is not an international class player, he is decent on flat pattas but as soon as he faces challenging bowling and conditions he falters. I have seen this both in IPL and FC cricket, also he doesn't pass the eye test at all, he is below the talent threshold required for test cricket.

    The decline of the part-time medium pacer

    Batsman’s attacking skills have increased by a lot, and these type of military medium pacers are exactly the kind who will get mauled. The bats don’t have anything to do with it, there is no significant changes in bats from late 90s to now, Sachin carried a bigger bat than Kohli. I don’t see...

    Alan Knott vs James Anderson

    Anderson > Knott +Healy +Dujon + Kirmani + Bari + jack Russell + Ben Foakes The only wicketkeepers pre 1980 that should be respected are Les Ames Lee Ervine Farokh Engineer

    Alan Knott vs James Anderson

    Specialist Wicketkeepers are not cricketers. Liton Das > Alan Knott What the hell are you guys smoking? Imagine playing cricket for 20 years and the only thing you know is how to catch a ball and that too with gloves on. Alan Knott is basically like a Tim Paine who got lucky.

    AB de Villiers vs Graeme Smith

    ABD winning by some margin, when all of them were at their best AB for me was the 4th best batsman in that SA team. For me the overall order would be: Kallis Smith Abd Amla

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    I would like Smith to open for Aus as he could be a genuine threat and it will be easier to remove him if he opens. With Bumrah and Ashwin in our side, I don’t see Head making much of an impact.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    His record is average bcoz of that series in 2014 on flatrons, othewise he had been good.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    Although I don’t like Mukesh at all but there’s a big difference between him and Vinay Kunar. Mukesh Kumar usually bowls above 135 and is way taller than Vinay, I would take him over Dayal who has no test experience yet. If Shami is injured, these should be our picks - Bumrah Akashdeep Siraj...

    Smith and Kohli should return to captaincy

    Jayawardene should also return to captaincy, he has good numbers. Obviously batting form and age have nothing to do with record disparity.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    Ashwin is not an ATG for me though, probably an ATVG. Never gave the invincible feeling that we get from an ATG, especially away from home.

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    Kumble would also get dropped if we had Jadeja at that time.
  19. CodeOfWisden

    Ashwin vs Kumble

    Ashwin. Kumble averages 44 in Pakistan and 45 in SriLanka, 32 in WI, so he was basically good just in Indian conditions . Aswhin did face a quality SriLanka side having Sanga, Mathews, Chandimal, Karunaratne and excelled, I don’t see any reason as to why he would fail against SriLanka of the...

    Chris Gayle vs Sanath Jayasuriya

    Gayle is better than Haynes, Jayasuriya doesn’t compare.
