KP wins in tests. Dhoni wins if it's all formats

 

[sayon basak]

Yes

Any specific weightage you'd want the voters to abide by?

Nah, vote as you want to. Who am I to state how they should value different formats??

 

[Thala_0710]

Who am I to state how they should value different formats??

I've a feeling we'll be coming back to this in some time

 

[Johan]

Pietersen, as tests are the only format that matter, no need to reinvent the wheel here.

It's Dhoni in tests.

 

[Johan]

It's Dhoni in tests.

Nah It's KP in Tests.

 

[sayon basak]

Nah It's KP in Tests.

It's still close for me for MSD's keeping to have an impact.

 

[Thala_0710]

Nah It's KP in Tests.

Yup

 

[Thala_0710]

It's still close for me for MSD's keeping to have an impact.

How's their batting close?

 

[Johan]

It's still close for me for MSD's keeping to have an impact.

batting gap is huge and MSD was fairly average as a keep to pacers, good to spinners but not enough to offset the huge batting gap.

I mean, surely batting isn't the primary for MSD in Tests?

 

[Johan]

it isn't but I don't think he has enough match impact even to beat KP.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yes, but KP was one of the worst fielders of his era

 

[Johan]

Yes, but KP was one of the worst fielders of his era

you are one of the worst fielders of your era.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Yes, but KP was one of the worst fielders of his era

you are one of the worst fielders of your era.

I remember he dropped a lot of catches in the 2005 Ashes
