    How does Ravindra Jadeja compare with Kapil Dev and Ian Botham ( Tests)

    Except his bowling peak ended in 1986. Till then he played 60 tests averaged 30 with 2 100s. In 1987, Imran played 10 tests and took only 29 wickets.

    Virat Kohli vs Jacques Kallis

    Yes. No mention of Desilva, Crowe, Ganguly, Astle, Dravid, Cronje, Ajay Jadeja, Lloyd,Steve Waugh, Ranatunga, Ijaz, Gambhir ... Etc Kallis clearly outside Top 70 IMO.

    Virat Kohli vs Jacques Kallis

    If Kallis averaged 10 points less and strike rate 5 points higher, he would have been far Better ODI player.

    Virat Kohli vs Jacques Kallis

    Ajay Jadeja or even Rahul Dravid was better ODI batsman than Kallis. Inzy a league above.

    Pick the Best All-Rounder Combos

    Kapil Dev was already Ian Botham equivalent in early 80s, and all knows what happened to Botham since then. Kapil's ultra fast batting was considered a special thing and helped the team many a times especially avoiding follow ons. Comparing Kapil's batting to Pollock's is like comparing Sachin's...

    Pick the Best All-Rounder Combos

    It sure looks comparison between batsmen in SAME league, but if you look closer its very evident Pollock's stats boosted by not outs ( Same as Imran ).

    You can do it, If you want it that way.

    Pick the Best All-Rounder Combos

    Batting performance in terms of calendar years 50+ avg Kapil - 2 Botham - 0 45+ avg Kapil - 2 Botham - 1 40+ avg - Kapil - 3 Botham - 1 35+ avg Kapil - 6 Botham - 4 30+ avg Kapil - 12 Botham - 7 It sure looks comparison between batsmen in different leagues. 😴

    Would Sachin still have debuted in tests at 16 in today's era?

    Yes. Actually he would have played at least one more series. Selectors was reluctant to select a kid to play against lethal pacers of WI, which resulted a delay in the debut even though he was already eligible. At the age of 18, he was recognized as world's biggest cricket star ( bigger than...

    Pick the Best All-Rounder Combos

    Its enough to decide who is better, not enough to put them in different leagues. Its very close, especially when considering one batted one position higher where the opportunities are more to score big. Add to that, Kapil's extra fast scoring and overall quality of opponents.

    Pick the Best All-Rounder Combos

    33 vs 31 Gap in number of innings also negligible
  17. Pap Finn Keighl

    Ten players you wished you could have seen live in their prime?

    W.G. Grace - Greatest Batsman? Greatest Allrounder? Greatest Cricketer? Sydney Barnes - Greatest Bowler? Gary Sobers - Greatest Cricketer Don Bradman - Greatest Batsman Mike Procter - Greatest Cricketer in last 50 years Barry Richards, G. Pollock and Vander Bijl. Ranjit Singhji and Trumper.

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    By that logic Ganteaume better batsman than Bradman. Klusner better ODI Batsman than Lara.
  19. Pap Finn Keighl

    Pick the Best All-Rounder Combos

    Yet he scored 15+ 75 scores , averaged almost same, more consistent, better against best bowling attack... Botham wouldn't have scored 14 centuries if he was batting at 7 and 8.
  20. Pap Finn Keighl

    Jacques Kallis vs Imran Khan

    Imran's peak came between 1980-88 He scored 2000 runs around 50 tests in this period, which is just Hadlee level. Not a proper specialist bat. Imran improved his batting after that, but he was no ATG bowler by then. Hadlee better bowler + better fielder Imran slightly better bat than hadlee...
