Then just make them, why do you need me for.

Why you argue with AI? Have u not learned anything from arguing with @Prince EWS ?

Gavaskar on the merits as a batsman. But I’ve met a few times and he is a royal c@nt. To5slly fackin insufferable. And he was a poor captain.

Border was a leader of men.

My question was who was the best opener of 1970-1989 after Gavaskar or better than him. Border will be in my Team as No 5 player.

Take it to that thread then.

Apparently Border threw money at starving people in India and then dumped buckets of water on them for entertainment. Didn’t realize he was that type of a person tbh.

>Sometime in 1979 in Kanpur, the Australian cricketers had come up with a plan to break their boredom. They would queue up in front of the hotel windows and throw money out on the streets. Even as people below would scramble for the money, the players would empty a bucketful of water on them. They called it “Raining Rupees”. In his 1986 book, Allan Border mentions the shenanigans from the tour: “We took to dropping rupees and watch them scramble .We would fill up all the available receptacles in the hotel room with water, drop the coins and whoosh!”

I believe this has come up before on here, and Burgey justified it as charitable giving

Free money and a nice shower in the heat, whats to complain about?

Precisely. Gifting alms to the poor and cooling the overheated down rather than simply thinking about himself all the time like Gavaskar.

If this is true its very barbaric on part of the Cricketers who did it.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

With the border gavaskar trophy coming up, thought this was a much needed comparison. Two great batsmen and two great human beings. Who do you rate higher?

I hope this is sarcasm

Gavaskar edges it as a bat. Border the much more consequential cricketer. He forged the foundations of that ATG Aussie team of the mid 90s onwards.
