    Bob Simpson vs Graham Gooch

    Better test batter?

    Gordon Greenidge VS Rohit Sharma

    You’re completely wrong here, imo. ABD, until the change to two new balls, was still an ODI great. If you look at a decent sample size like a minimum of 2,500 runs, you could find only 4 or 5 batters who had a batting average of 45 or more and a batting strike rate of 85 or more, with ABD being...

    Rank these 5 Test openers in order (Boycott, Greenidge, Hayden, Sehwag, G Smith)

    I feel like G Smith is getting a bit overrated in this forum lately, just my opinion.

    Lance Gibbs vs Anil Kumble

    Two spinners who spent most of their careers bowling on flat tracks.

    Shaun Pollock vs Fred Trueman

    I’d lean towards Trueman here because, while Pollock was a great bowler, I feel his skills were somewhat limited compared to Trueman’s impact and consistency.

    Shaun Pollock vs Fred Trueman

    Better test bowler?

    Richardson. Kanhai. Greenidge.

    Greenidge played Test cricket well into his late 30s, approaching 40, but as he aged, diminishing reflexes impacted his batting average. Until late 1987, his average was approximately 48. In my view, he should have retired earlier. Regardless, Kanhai was the superior batsman, excelling in all...

    Kane Williamson vs Joe Root

    Better Odi batsman?

    McCullum's xi vs Hadlee's xi

    No, Guptill and Rutherford were also poor with the bat at that time.

    McCullum's xi vs Hadlee's xi

    I called the team Paddles' XI, so I made him captain despite him not being a regular skipper. I really wanted a spinner in McCullum's xi, but honestly, all the other spinners during B-Mac's captaincy were pretty poor. At least Vettori got to play one match, so I included him. Sure, I can...

    *Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

    Is it true that Brendan Taylor could come out of retirement to represent Zimbabwe in Test cricket again after his ban ends?

    Fastest Bowler before Jeff Thomson?

    Eddie Gilbert did have a suspicious bowling action, but we can't label him as a chucker since it was not proven that his action was illegal. He was an Aboriginal player who was almost unknown in Australian first class cricket at the time, and he bowled extremely fast. Even Don Bradman said...

    *Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

    Also Pope. His place looks much safer now after the big century he got yesterday.

    Samaraweera. Aravinda. Mathews

    Mike Procter vs Shaun Pollock

    Better cricketer?
  18. MasterBlaster24

    Samaraweera. Aravinda. Mathews

    His centuries against top teams resulted in only one victory, marked by the iconic Headingley hundred in 2014. Post-2015, Mathews’ Test stats seem to have been padded.

    Fastest Bowler before Jeff Thomson?

    Frank Tyson himself claimed to be capable of bowling at 119 mph (191 kph), which seems somewhat implausible. Nevertheless, Richie Benaud believed Tyson was faster than Jeff Thomson.
