Viv Richards vs Alastair Cook

[harsh.ag]

In the newfound spirit of adventure and ****amamie, I present to you this pertinent poll.

 

[Adders]

**** off Harsh!!

 

[weldone]

Alastair Cook's batting is closer to Stoneman's than to Viv's.

 

[Starfighter]

No irrelevant/humorous third option?

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'm assuming we're comparing them as openers, so Cook wins comfortably (even though Viv averaged 69 in 4 innings as opener)

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Does Cook fair as unfavourably with Viv as Anderson does with Ambrose?

 

[harsh.ag]

No irrelevant/humorous third option?

Was trying to stay true to the ****amamie spirit of the first thread in this exciting series.

 

[Kirkut]

Swapnil Asnodkar.

 

[fredfertang]

What have you been smoking harsh?

....... and where can I get some?

 

[Gnske]

Infract yourself for baiting

 

[weldone]

Swapnil Asnodkar.

My next comparison thread is going to be a 3-way comparison among:

Atul Bedade, Swapnil Asnodkar and Venugopal Rao

 

[Firebreaker]

Is this a joke?

 

[smash84]

Is this a joke?

No, if you know Harsh's history, you would know he is very serious.

 

[Adders]

Is this a joke?

I know right.......pffft with Vivs paltry 8.5 k test runs and high score of 291.

 

[Cabinet96]

As far as I'm aware, Viv Richards has never scored 250 in the Middle East. Pretty easy answer.

 

[Groundking]

Chef has the better bowling average, so he wins.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Is this as a one day bat or a test opener?

Gum chewing contest?

 

[Coronis]

Cook more consistent, Viv more mercurial, tough call.

 

[Burgey]

Cook more consistent, Viv more mercurial, tough call.

not sure if serious.

 

[Gob]

(even though Viv averaged 69)
