    Ravichandran Ashwin vs Kapil Dev

    Kapil is the better bowler, better batsman, better fielder, better captain, better away from home, better leader of the attack, better count of fifers aaay from home, better count of MOTm away from home. Also better analyst, I loved the way he called out Stokes taking mental break as a drama...

    ***official***Bangladesh tour of india - 19september -12 october 2024

    Bumrah hasn't played any cricket since the t20 world cup, its essential to give him some match time, he should definitely play one match and might play two against NZ.

    Hashim Amla vs Alastair Cook

    There was a time when Amla was just invincible in all conditions against any bowling attack, thats why I would take him. Apart from that both have similar stats and wont give Cook the opener advantage here as Amla was also a top order bat . Amla was also better against stronger bowling attacks.

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    Les Ames should be considered a revolutionary more so than Gilchrist considering he had more than 100 first class hundreds while other keepers at that time were averaging a meagre 15-20.

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    According to me its not just about what they averaged. Can the likes of Healy, Bari, Dujon ever play a counterattacking knock like Liton did vs Pakistan, its more about batting talent and potential. At their best the likes of Liton, Kock, Rizwan, Pant can win you matches single-handedly with...

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    Every wicketkeeper that can bat is somehow bad at keeping. Similar to how every ugly hollywood actor is great at acting. As I have always said, Imagine playing cricket for 25 years and the only thing you know is to catch, and that too with gloves on .

    Meet the ICC Hall of Famers: Adam Gilchrist

    I Its okay to see one extra dropped catch per match than watch these mediocrities try to use a bat.

    Ishant Sharma vs Shaheen Shah Afridi

    Ishant Sharma operated like an ATG bowler away from home during 2016 to 2020. I know that we have to take full career for comparison but Ishant Sharma for me is a better bowler than Brett Lee in tests and there’s no way I am taking Shaheen over Shaheen’s potential is also in question now...

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    No need of Arshdeep, he was bowling at high 120s in ODIs vs SRL, we should take one of Nitish Reddy or Shardul Thakur.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    More likely to go above 50 considering how he batted in SouthAfrica.

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    For me, it will be Sachin Gavaskar Kohli Dravid Dev Sehwag Ashwin Kumble Mankad Jadeja

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Not interested to pick a fight here. You don’t have enough intelligence to do any of that, it’s quite evident. What reality, are his stats not inflated by home bashing? Its okay to point that out, you and your gang of 5 can suck Ashwin off, no reason for others to do that. Never thought a...

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Ashwin is so good that his excellence drives him out of the playing eleven as Opposition prepares pitch to specifically neuter him. Probably the first of his kind, don’t think even ATGs like Viv, Sobers, Tendulkar were this good. Delulu is the solulu

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Ashwin definitely is one of the greatest Indian player of all time, just like Sehwag. Believe me, no SENA team has to do any sort of extra work to nullify Ashwin. Why would they nullify someone who might not even be in the starting eleven.

    Road to India in Australia 2024-25

    The first two tests will have only one spinner from our side, its probably going to be Jadeja, the problem is that we dont have a pace bowling allrounder like Thakur this time around (dont think he will be picked, had a surgery) so our tail will be too long, ideally Harshit Rana should play at...

    What is the most difficult cricket shot to successfully pull off?

    I find short arm jab to be quite rare, especially in red ball cricket.

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    You just gave an idiotic reaction to a simple comment hurt by all the logical facts against someone you idolize, no need to exaggerate with "all the time", hardly posted anything here that can even be misconstrued as Racist.

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Everytime Ashwin's name comes up these guys start getting a collective orgasm not to be disturbed by any logical retort, calling him the greatest Indian cricketer is wrong, that title goes to Stalwarts who fought and performed overseas more so than him and werent considered dispensable under...

    Is Bumrah the best cricketer India has ever produced?

    Well what is he Irish? You insane or what? Just like how the brits like to Gel Andy Murray with fab 3 , "South Indians" tend to overrate Ashwin. The former is a completely acceptable statement but the latter isn't, the racism is all in your head.
