    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    A persisting myth, but tons have disproportionately smaller impact than fifties because they're more likely to be scored in dead games. In other words, 50 & 50 = 100 & 0. It's not complicated: reaching three figures doesn't make an innings three times as impactful.

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    Sorry but crossing 50 isn't to me the mark of a better bat if your RPI is the same. Doesn't make sense. Tons yes because those innings have disproportionately bigger impact and show a capacity for lasting the distance.

    Sid Barnes vs Lindsay Hassett

    Man I sure like it when my rating players very highly solely based on FC averages is validated like this. Bowes and now Hassett. Better than Larwood and McCabe respectively.

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    Kapil crossed 50 ever 5.2 innings IK crossed 50 ever 5.2 innings Jadeja crosses 50 every 3.8 innings. I don't see how Kapil was better than IK. Limited bat or not, IK was able to cross 50 at same frequency as Dev. Dev does not have an advanatge in RPI as well or in avg. Yes Jadeja obviously...

    Sid Barnes vs Lindsay Hassett

    ...Verity, Alan Davidson or Fred Trueman was bowling for the opponent team (number of times he was dismissed by those bowlers in brackets): 131 innings; 6234 runs @ 53.74 vs Bill O'Reilly: 16 innings; 942 runs @ 58.88; 6 50's, 3 100's (4 times) Hassett was famous for his ability to take on...

    What we learned from the 5th Test

    These are all reasonable and well thought out points on why we should be reticent on allowing subs. However, it gives an opportunity for an additional ad break, so it WILL happen, whether we like it or not.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    Middlesex always looked a bit short after the dip in the middle-late stage of their innings. I always thought they Somerset had the chase in hand but the Rew brothers did indeed do well to settle it. Rew Jr started a little slowly but a chat with his brother seemed to prompt him to play more...

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    ...difficult challenge none of the retro or Batsmen had to deal with. Jadeja doesn't play the hardest challenge of his time, the three innings he have played have not been indicative of good times for him. so how come Botham gets to be downgraded drastically for record in one country with an...

    Kapil/Jadeja vs Botham/Flintoff

    Pant as well, shade above (37) Then again, Bhuvi Kumar averages 33 (albeit in 2 tests) Vihari randomly score a 40* in one innings and averages 60 because of it I see no reason why Jadeja, a far better bat, would struggle for 25 given enough tests to prove himself. The problem with this...

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    Jadeja's great series with the bat recently clearly takes him over Imran imo. Was close before this series. Jadeja's away average is a good 4-5 runs higher than Imran. Way more consistent too overseas (a fifty plus score every 4 innings as against every 6 innings by Imran).

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    How are you measuring it? Dev has more runs, more tons, more 50+ scores, quality knocks against quality attack. RPI is not even 2 runs difference. Is it just based on average? For me, IK goes over Dev in consistency and Jadeja is over Dev/IK both in consistency by some margin. Actual 50+...

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    These are the six Test centuries scored by Imran Khan. Other than Port of Spain, these were jokes against popgun attacks. 117 vs India in Faisalabad, 1982-83 118 vs Sri Lanka in Faisalabad, 1985-86 113 vs India in Karachi, 1982-83 136 vs Australia in Sydney, 1976-77 140 vs Sri Lanka in Kandy...

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    Well innings against the WI quartet, Lillee, Marshall, Hadlee. Plenty of matchsaving knocks. Yeah I'll take that over stuff Jadeja has.

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    No because Dev doesn't have Imran level of output. Jadeja does. He is also superior to Kapil. So innings quality is more of a tiebreaker since I think Imran had a higher ceiling.

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    ...WI One against new SA but it was hard to score, 129 in SA against Donald/schultz in SA I will not bother to look his exploits on home gorunds, Botham etc.. I don't put Dev over IK in batting personally. I can see the case if you rate Dev over IK due to quality innings against quality...

    Better Batsman : Jadeja vs Imran

    To add more here, lower order runs are often vital in winning tests away. IK batting record: One 50+ score in win away with avg of 25 - IK played in 9 wins For Jadeja: Seven 50+ scores and avg of 35 - Jadeja played in 14 wins Some one may point out that less number of results used to...

    ...too right with more wickets per match and better away record, more 5 fer, more ten fers etc. he also averages more and scores 4 runs more per innings, scores much more hundreds, averages better overseas, scores hundreds more often. kapil has wi record which is great point for him but in every...
