Assumed so but can take this post down if I’ve made a mistake there.Hey BazBall. Just checking, have you earned the right to post a comparison thread?
And, quite frankly, I'm not detecting enough directed aggression in a post under the moniker "BazBall".
But welcome.
I was quite surprised to see Dravid beat Miandad so easily on here and I know Crowe is very highly rated on CW so was interested to see the results of this. I’d probably go with Miandad but definitely think the gap between them is smaller than the disparity between their averages.Miandad is criminally and systematically overrated in hindsight on this forum as it but this one is baffling really. Miandad was probably better even in NZ granted he murdered Hadlee in NZ.
Their entire careers overlapped basically and both debuted stupidly young yet one averaged a good 6 more runs. Even having guys like Border in a different tier to Miandad is only because of Anglocentrism. C'mon.
I'd agree with that too. Crowe was the best batsman in the world for a while. I rate him very highly. But **** me the Miandad opinions on here are cancerous.I was quite surprised to see Dravid beat Miandad so easily on here and I know Crowe is very highly rated on CW so was interested to see the results of this.

True. One disgraced the game with blatant cheating, the other was Chris Cairns.Nah we should have an Imran Khan vs Chris Cairns poll next because reasons.
The ****?True. One disgraced the game with blatant cheating, the other was Chris Cairns.
Yeah cricket has a lot to say about how great everything was back in the day but you'll rarely see the absolute amateur hour stuff acknowledged, like the state of global officiating.Miandad was clearly the better bat. Crowe was great too btw.
A lot has been discussed about Miandad benefitting from biased home umpiring. While there is truth in that, the same could be said about some of the other countries as well. NZ umpires of 70s/80s were shady as hell too.
Were neutral umpires introduced in NZ before start of Crowe's career ? Not sure.
Neutral umpires were trialed in 92/93, and instituted internationally in 1994. Crowe's career ended in 1995, so no most of Crowe's career did not take place in the era of neutral umpires.Miandad was clearly the better bat. Crowe was great too btw.
