Allan Border vs Kumar Sangakkara

Border is too mytholized, Sanga is not mytholized enough

Possibly.

Sanga batted higher up the order, was much more likely to go big and scored his runs more quickly. All that trumps Border batting in a tougher era for me. So what I'm saying is Sanga wins because he was manlier.

You need a pair of ogs.

You must have missed the matches payed in Sri Lanka.

Them I am not surprised.

Most over rated cricketer in the history of the sport. A nothing burger

Sanga would've averaged low 40s if he'd played in Border's time. I suspect approx. 60% of his stats are gimmicked like Goldberg's streak and who is to prove otherwise? The ten crows in the outfield that attended his games in Sri Lanka or the viewership record-shattering extravaganzas in Bangladesh and the U.A.E.? He is cricket's version of the moon landing.

Look we know he got carried at times by the likes of Boon, S Waugh, Alderman, McDermott, and Warne, but Border wasn't that bad.

Yeah. Luckily drug cheats are not rated.

Given how Sanga bashed Bond on bowling friendly wickets in NZ, I would say no.
