Jasprit Bumrah vs Rahul Dravid vs Kapil Dev

[subshakerz]

Is Kapil a great test bowler?

Simple question.

Stop deflecting.

Your comment was he was an 'above test standard bowler'.

Do you believe that?

Is Kapil a great test bowler?

Simple question.

No, but he is an ATVG and better than his numbers; plus a 30 averaging batsman and a good fielder and captain. Even if he's not ATG overall, he's close.

 

[Johan]

don't really think Kapil is an ATVG bowler but he is very good, above Starc/Johnson/Gillespie types

Who's the worst ATVG bowler for ya

 

[Johan]

Who's the worst ATVG bowler for ya

If that's not ATVG, what is?

Willis is a mid tier ATVG to me

BTW isn't that what ATVG means? All time "very good"?

 

[capt_Luffy]

Who is the lowest?

YES

Yeah, I'm not saying he's nonsense. He's a great cricketer, not an ATG one.

He was a good bowler, a decent lower order bat, a good outfielder and a good captain.

There's no great in there.

You believe that he's "Great", so can you also agree that he's close to being an ATG?

universe of one in this view. But ok. Keep pontificating.

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

ATVG Bowler + 30 plus avg batsman = ATG.

If an ATVG bowler remains ATVG cricketer even after scoring 5000+ runs, whats the point of scoring all those runs

 

[Johan]

Who is the lowest?

Hazlewood.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Hazlewood.

Hazlewood is better than Willis bro..... It's too much to call him the worst ATVG bowler. I definitely feel bowlers like Hall and Akhtar and Peter Pollock and Botham and Dev, alongside the likes of Gillespie, Wagner and Croft, are ATVGs.

I don't have a very high opinion of Hazlewood for now

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Is Kapil better than Hazlewood?

 

[sayon basak]

Is Kapil better than Hazlewood?

Although their numbers won't suggest it, but they're close.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Although their numbers won't suggest it, but they're close.

No they aren't. Haze and Statham is debatable

 

[Johan]

Statham over Haze solely because of the away Windies performances, Haze over Kapil because...watch them bowl.
