Laxman vs Sehwag vs Pujara

[SillyCowCorner1]

And your point is?

That he sucks

Sehwag > Laxman > Pujara

 

[PlayerComparisons]

India did play the majority of their games in Asia and Australia where Sehwag was ATG. Who cares about a few games in NZ and Eng lol

His stats say otherwise

On this forum, stats are a big part of deceit. Don't get swayed away by it.

So what do we rely on, women’s intuition?

@PlayerComparisons I think this is your best thread yet.

We watch cricket for the sake of viewing certain players and how they go through their phases. One guy who blew me away was Sehwag, he ****ing made 100 inside the first session of a test match once.

But, I know quality when I see it and those two other guys are heaps better...

Just my bias.

You're a funny guy. How much hard runs have you seen Sehwag make?

 

[BazBall21]

Sehwag was not ATG in Australia. He faced very weak attacks there except in the ROW test. Don't think he can emulate Pujara's tours of England and Australia in 2018. And Pujara's record on turners was exceptional before his natural decline.

Well there’s the 201 out of 329 runs in an innings against Murali and Mendis

And it’s equally valuable to strike at 100 and score a double century to force a victory on a flat pitch where it could have drawn - Sehwag won a large number of matches

 

[PlayerComparisons]

ATG in Asia and great in Aus. That’s 85 of his 104 games lol

 

[ma1978]

Not just an ATG in Asia - the GOAT in Asia

Yeah. I rate Sehwag ahead of the other two in Asia because of the strike rate.

 

[BazBall21]

Not sure Sehwag is great in Australia.

Not sure Sehwag is great in Australia.

Very good then

Off-topic.
If my high grammar is correct, shouldn’t it be, Who is the best test batsman?”

RE: the thread title poll question

Should I brush up my grammar?

Sucks to suck.

 

[Jumno]

Laxman, 169, 281, another hundred against Aus

 

[ma1978]

Laxman is a great player, my personal favorite, and depending on how you constitute India's AT XI, would bat at no 6

Sehwag is just a freak in terms of his value contribution in Asia.

This. Both on and off the field.
