Bowling - Batting Counterparts

[subshakerz]

Who are the ATG or below batting/bowling counterparts displaying a similar skill level and overall standing?

For example, I consider Hadlee to be the bowling counterpart to Gavaskar, both trailblazers and the first genuine ATGs from their respective countries with a high emphasis on technical skill.

I can see the intent behind that comparison and I probably rate Gavaskar higher than anyone not PFK, but I think Hadlee has done more as a bowler than Gavaskar.

Do Sachin and Warne count?? The media surely loved that....

Hadlee maybe edges it but there are more bowlers than bats and Gavaskar makes the top ten, so it's closer I think.

Play Hadlee is rated a lot higher here than in general cricket punditry.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Viv Richards and Dale Steyn. Champion match winners who could turn the tide of a test match in a session, and involved in famous away wins for their respective teams.

Archie Jackson and Bob Appleyard; extremely talented individuals who can't let their talents to fruition due to circumstances beyond control.

You overestimate Garner's bowling.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Hamish Rutherford and Dale Steyn. Both a bit **** for Essex.

 

[trundler]

Vettori and Boucher. Sustained employee on his notice period level of output much longer than anyone else.

What is your objection?

That Hadlee is a much more skilled bowler than Gavaskar is as a batsman.

You can make a great case for Hadlee to be the best bowler of all time, I don’t think you can say the same for Gavaskar to be the 2nd best batsman of all time.

Sachin aligned with Murali. Consistent, minimal drama, and gets the job done. Murali probably was tad more aggressive.

Warne, probably with Sobers.

Who would Lara be?


I have a feeling Laxman and Broad might be ok. Both non-ATG players with a matchwinning knack.

Wasim Akram

I agree with Murali and Tendulkar. Both longevity masters in their own way.

Warne goes best with Lara. The magic, once in a gen cricketers who go beyond their stats, but temperamental too.

Viv and Lillee seemed to match well.

Hadlee is a lock for top five, likely top 3. But I don't think outside CW he is seen that highly. Gavaskar is top ten bat. Yeah Hadlee is ahead but to me they are comparable.

Viv basically matches with Imran. Great leaders, and with peaks where they destroyed everyone. Lara / Warne comparison is interesting, but Lara had far less drama.
