Denis Compton vs Ian Botham

[Johan]

Two players who had a bit of a rivalry with each other, Compton described Botham like this "He is a yobbo, who was never as good as he thinks.’ once Botham's peak ended, so which English Cricketer was better?

Hi pot, this is kettle.

 

[Johan]

Hi pot, this is kettle.

Definitely did not see this one coming.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Botham since he’s an ATG

 

[sayon basak]

Botham, and it's not close.

 

[Johan]

Botham, and it's not close.

Botham is definitely close with an ATG bat who maintained a 50+ average over a 20 year career even after losing 5 years of peak.

Better than Chappell for sure

Yeah, And Compton isn't close to Chappell. If you think otherwise, you are delusional.

Who said anything about close to Chappell....

Would you have said Compton was an ATG bat after his retirement?

 

[sayon basak]

If Botham is better than Chappell, and Compton isn't close to Chappell, how is Compton close to Botham?

You do realise that I literally call Greg Chappell "The Australian Denis Compton" right?
