Years or Test - Which is the best way to test longevity?
Years with batsmen. Mixed bag with bowlers. There are cases where it's not completely black and white though.- BazBall21

Inzamam vs Gooch vs Chanderpaul
SA's short-pitched hit the deck style suited Gooch. There is evidence of that. He struggled against Australia because they had the best swing bowling resources. Swing did cause him issues (Alderman!) but he does have two hundreds opening v Hadlee, a good ton in NZ and the ball swung a lot at...- BazBall21

Inzamam vs Gooch vs Chanderpaul
You said Gooch doesn't have the output when his struggles came mostly against one team. So you are in fact punishing him for a lopsided volume of tests against the only opponent he was below par against. And we can't just say Inzi might have done better against Australia and SA if he played...- BazBall21

Graham Gooch vs Younis Khan
Yeah I voted for Gooch because I think he's the better tough conditions bat but agree Younis deserves a lot of credit for being so clinical on flat tracks. It's why I think Younis is better than Inzi in tests. Better at going big.- BazBall21

Inzamam vs Gooch vs Chanderpaul
Gooch did have the output. He struggled v one side. Averaged 48 against other teams. Inzi was probably worse against both sides he struggled against, he just didn't play them as often so his average was less impacted. And he had the privilege of playing half his career in the 2000s. That's...- BazBall21

Inzamam vs Gooch vs Chanderpaul
Gooch had one tour of Australia in his prime and succeeded so to say he outright failed there is simplistic mate. I've seen a lot of Inzi on fast pitches and he had clear fundamental problems. And also, those runs in England and NZ for him came against attacks that were generally a far cry from...- BazBall21

Debate thread for 2024 Ranking of batsmen poll
Thought Graeme Smith at 30 was a little high tbh. He's a top player and a welcome addition to the top 50, but above the likes of Neil Harvey, Gordon Greenidge, Rohan Kanhai and Martin Crowe is a stretch.- BazBall21

VVS vs Inzamam
Tbf I think Australia records is a big point in Laxman's favour mate. Doesn't need to average 50 v them for that to be the case.- BazBall21
