Who is best bat to tour pakistan
I think the 70s tour really holds him back to win here.He might lose out overall but Viv in 80s Pakistan on landmines was bonkers.
80s Windies in Pakistan wickets: 18.84
Recent India in South Africa wickets: 21.09
the South Africa stuff is for reference.
in the two 80s Pakistan tours, notable Batsmen averaged...
IVA Richards: 53.90
MJ Miandad: 31.23
CH Lloyd: 21.20
CG Greenidge: 26.40
DL Haynes: 25.30
HA Gomes: 29.73
RB Richardson: 29.60
AL Kalicharan: 16.00
only other batsman with a 35+ average is Wasim Raja with three not outs, Viv's RPI is 49, second best is Ramiz at 35, followed by Javed at 31.
Viv's record against Pakistan of the 80s (the one everyone rates) is absolutely bonkers in context.
don't personally mind it too much, was only 2 games and just 3 innings, early career and both lame draws.I think the 70s tour really holds him back to win here.
Yeah, but he was totally useless in them. Definitely counts imo.don't personally mind it too much, was only 2 games and just 3 innings, early career and both lame draws.
Yeah fair enough, but I'd put him in the upper echelon anyway, performance on the 80s decks is just too awesome.Yeah, but he was totally useless in them. Definitely counts imo.
