Top 50 Greatest test batters

[capt_Luffy]

@Thala_0710 @capt_Luffy I need you to teach me how you two deluded yourself into thinking a struggling India would win a series at the place where they have historically struggled.

We won 1971 without a proper pacer. With Bumrah, it will a walk in the park.

 

[Johan]

Get rid of Mark Wood, your pacers are basically spinners.

come back when your pacers manage to average less than 35

 

[sayon basak]

they beat Pakistan on the same spinny wickets where England lost.

It's England, what did you expect?

You lost 2018 with Bumrah and an actual ATG bat in peak Kohli, as always, all bark no bite.

Come back when you guys manage to produce a post war ATG pacer, too small of a demand for the inventors of the sport imo.

@capt_Luffy I'm adding another stipulation, whoever wins the bet can tell the other to watch/read something, be it a show, movie or a book.

Fine by me.

It's so over for you in July buddy

We drew in 2021. COVID was the only reason it was JUST a draw.

4-1 England

No guarantee you'd have won at Old Trafford anyway, and that was the worst English side since the second world war.

Well this one is hardly any better. That actually had two pacers with 1300 wickets between them, now all 4 don't have 130.

This one is massively better as the results indicate, because not only do Carse/Atkinson/Woakes get the job done, the batting actually consistenly puts scores, we don't have Hameed and Lees batting for us anymore.

You have Crawley and Pope though. Very debatable which pair is better.

Crawley and Pope are a league above Lees and Hameed and Burns and Butler.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Siraj is better than any Current English pacer.

Siraj is better than Woakes who has been dropped.

Carse has the tools to be the best England bowler in decades

Carse will turn Arse very soon.

 

[Johan]

Atkinson averages 22, Woakes averages 21 at home, Carse won a series in NZ in his very second series, the hate is so forced.
