ATG allrounder vs great opener
Shakib scored quicker so it’s gotta be himI want to take the opportunity to vote against Boycott, but I think Shakib's record is inflated by a lot minnow v minnow series.
Can't vote for either here.
Two ATG human beings for sureTwo gentlemen of the game.
Gentlemen don't appeal for a "Timed Out".Two gentlemen of the game.
The correct answer.Gentlemen don't appeal for a "Timed Out".
Those ****ers who wrote the laws of the game were not gentlemen.Gentlemen don't appeal for a "Timed Out".
I just don't view him as a consistent test class cricketerHad he been born English, Australian, Indian, South African, Kiwi or Pakstani he would have played 25 tests at best
Shakib al Hasan is a piss poor mediocrity, why is he even being debated
Nah, if he had been a contemporary of Hobbs, he'd be just as good a batsman as him. That's not even considering his bowling. And to some that would put him close to Bradman as a Test cricketer overall, and definitely better than Sobers as a Test all-rounder all-time.Had he been born English, Australian, Indian, South African, Kiwi or Pakstani he would have played 25 tests at best
Considering Moeen Ali has played 68 tests that is clearly wrong.Had he been born English, Australian, Indian, South African, Kiwi or Pakstani he would have played 25 tests at best
I rate both Moeen and Vettori higher given the quality of opposition and diversity of the pitches. That’s before the match fixing and overall contribution to the destruction of Bangladeshi cricketConsidering Moeen Ali has played 68 tests that is clearly wrong.
Shakib is a better spinner and batter than Vettori was and would've been perfect for NZ - would be the first player picked.
He would've played at least 80, probably 100+, for all of them except India.
He'd have played a ton for India as well. Jadeja only truly came into his own as an allrounder from 2017 or so onwards. Before that he was a quality spinner but his batting was underwhelming.Considering Moeen Ali has played 68 tests that is clearly wrong.

Nor do they beat their wives.Gentlemen don't appeal for a "Timed Out".
Gently, perhaps.Nor do they beat their wives.
