Sunil Gavaskar vs Geoffrey Boycott

[Silly Point 2.0]

Gaviscon certainly wins the bitter old man competition, which is some achievement against Boycott

He also wins the racist **** contest with Boycott.

The Border quote is really bad. He included the coin throwing incident as an "amusing" story in his autobiography IIRC.



Wait what that cant be true. Never heard this before. Do you have a legit source?

It requires a certain level of douche to find that an amusing story.

This may be an extreme and unfair comparison, but when I heard that it made me think of some images I happened to see referenced yesterday of Belgium in the 50's.

And to again, put it into print is ultimately ****ed up.

Time to change the name of the series from Border-Gavaskar to Bumrah-Cummins

The Bum-*** Trophy?


Or the BC Trophy which will surely bring a smile to our Indian posters.

Also has the distinct advantage of sounding like a tribute to Kohli

Better tendulkar-ponting trophy

 

[govinda indian fan]

I actually want india wi series to be named tendulkar -lara trophy for honouring two atgs who had immense respect for each other

 

[govinda indian fan]

whose more racist between the two?

Sunny is **** through. Imran made racist comment on indians(esp south indians) hight and skin colour and sunny actually laughed instead of condemning imran. If same was said by a aussie or englishman sunny would have called names. Hypocritical old fool

Not going to lie, but the thought of changing the name of the trophy came to mind.

Bum *** is ****ing legendary, lol.

Well done

Sadly, I doubt anyone cares about Windies enough anymore to name one of their trophies

That was cold...

The difference between these two is Gavaskar's better tempo flexibility. Hence the margin is small but Gavaskar is ahead.

 

[Cricket Bliss]

It is close. But Gavaskar being better is more evident.

Agree with this.

 

[Cricket Bliss]

Once read that Boycott believes he has better technique than Gavaskar

 

[DrWolverine]

Boycott recently named the four best batsmen according to him - Sobers, Richards, Lara and Sachin(in no order)

I’m assuming due to no Bradman it’s only players he’s seen.

Yeah, pretty sure he rates Hobbs as the second greatest.
