Rohit's 2021 England series solos Warner's career

 

[capt_Luffy]

He is imo, I place him ahead of Warner

Khawaja is ahead of Warner, and Warner is ahead of Sharma, don't think there's overall a Huge Gap really.

 

[sayon basak]

Overall Khawaja Isn't much ahead of Sharma.

Love you bro.

 

[Johan]

Khawaja vs Gooch next

 

[Coronis]

Rohit's 2021 England series solos Warner's career

I think you mean Warners 13/14 SA series solos Sharma’s career. Scored more tons in 3 matches than Sharma has overseas in his entire career.

 

[subshakerz]

Gavaskar as he is a top 10 bat or close thereabout.

 

[DrWolverine]

Donald is also below quite a few imo.

In terms of overall career, yes

In terms of quality, he is up there with the best

Isn't that an excuse to rate Lillee higher than McGrath?

Lillee isn't better on quality than McGrath though. His away record not nearly it.

Lillee isn't better on quality than McGrath though. His away record not nearly it.

I thought "quality" and "skill" are synonymous. If it's not, Donald being up there with the very best is false to begin with.

(And if it is, still don't think Donald was nearly as skillful as Marshall)

I agree with both, but was Lillee more skilled than McGrath? People underrate it a lot here imo but the skill of consistently putting the ball in the same spot in pace bowling is the most important. And no one has ever been better at it than McGrath. It's more important than seam, swing, pace etc. but it's boring while the others are ***ier skills, which is why it gets underrated imo.

Though I don't think there's any other bowler who defeated two batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, like Donald did.

Does not makes him as skillful as Marshall or Bumrah though

Statham was more accurate than McGrath. End of discussion.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Gavaskar had Greenidge, Gooch, Boycott in his era.

Also had Glen Turner, Denis Amiss, Roy Fredericks, Majid Khan, Keith Stackpole, and Ian Redpath. Even with Barry Richards banned it was probably the era with the greatest ever depth in opening batsmen.

Gavaskar WAS miles better than Khawaja.

 

[ma1978]

I agree Khawaja would average a bit more today than a 70 year old Gavaskar

but not much more
