I was just pointing out the insane opinion of Johan's..... But thanks (though I know I am)

My guy You'll be hardpressed to convince me Cook was better against fast bowling than Atherton, let alone Gooch

Like Atherton had it rough, but all the top bowlers owned him

better than getting owned by Ishant and Morkel...and then Ashwin in England...

Cook has Two Great Series winning tours of India and Australia.

one because he was genuinely a great player of Spin and one because of flat roads, when the going gets tough like 2007 Ashes or 2013 Ashes or 2015 Ashes or 2017 ashes, Chef dissapears and becomes the 35-40 averaging bat (at most), I'd take Atherton's 93-94 Carribean tour over Cook's 2010 Ashes

Lillee. He is more iconic than Garner.
Rest I haven’t watched both so rating them based on statistics is not a good idea.

Just rating Lillee higher because he was more "iconic" isn't a very good idea either imo.

Yeah, I should have tried to take birth in their era so I could follow their careers proactively.

Lillee also a more complete fast bowler of the two.A revolutionary of fast bowling in the game.

Yeah do peer rating instead. Much more valid and consistent. Trumper vs Bradman thoughts?
