Lloyd/Marshall vs Ponting/McGrath

[Johan]

Kohli does massively outperform Root in Australia, outperforms him in SA too a bit

SA, arguably Australia

less so about countries and more so about wickets, though I agree that Kohli is better in bouncy fast conditions, I don't think the gap is as big as between Lloyd and Ponting on turners.

I mean, ofcourse not. Lloyd averages more than 50 runs more than Ponting in India

 

[subshakerz]

most probably, Yeah, though in this case I'm not sure which bowler is better in primary skillset, Nor do I think there's any condition where Kohli would massively outperform Root like Lloyd would massively outperform Ponting in Asia, not really the same thing.

Just a reminder that Lloyd has a poor record in Pakistan.

on those pitches that Windies were served in 1980, I'd not back Ponting to do anything.

Speculation. Ponting wasn't a walking wicket against all spin and did quite well against Murali.

we can make a poll on who the better player of spin between Lloyd and Ponting is.

Obviously Lloyd based on India but we can't assume failure for Ponting in Pakistan.

Great Series in 99 followed by two duds in the 2000s. Ofcourse not counting the Pakistan game played there.

One great series and one poor one, overall good.

 

[ma1978]

Change my vote. Lloyd because of the moustache

 

[capt_Luffy]

One great series and one poor one, overall good.

2 poor, 2003 and 11

Missed that. Yeah mid then.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Missed that. Yeah mid then.

It's practically the same as Kohli in England, but his Worst is better than Kohli's and best slightly worse.
