Viv Richards vs Glen McGrath

[sayon basak]

fifers and hundreds have completely different context, not even comparable, it's like Batsmen vs bowler comparisons.

Agree, but are you aware which thread you are in?

 

[subshakerz]

Eh. I mean if he scores a ton as Australia scores 550/7d and England is rolled for like 275 and 150 that would be memorable no?

No.

 

[subshakerz]

Yeah because Hansie Cronje played for Zimbabwe

Oh sorry I didn't you meant him too when you said SA pacers

 

[Johan]

the most memorable thing would be when he crosses 16,000

 

[Johan]

Oh sorry I didn't you meant him too when you said SA pacers

Hansie was a pacer

 

[subshakerz]

Hansie was a pacer

Barely

 

[Coronis]

No.

His best is his 114 against Aus at Perth.

His underrated one is 122 VS England , 1996 Birmingham

 

[honestbharani]

Sean and Coronis really are about to become a tag team named Technicality bros

RTC - Right To Correct.

 

[Johan]

RTC - Right To Correct.

Stevie Richards = Coronis works so well.

 

[Coronis]

Stevie Richards = Coronis works so well.

I’ll take that as an insult

One of the best in terms of strokeplay

Bowlers can have long hauls like 5-170 where they just stick around and get wickets.

Bowlers can have long hauls like 5-170 where they just stick around and get wickets.

Or they can take hat tricks and prize out three of a teams main batsmen and end up with only a 3 for because you had to share the ball with 3 other decent bowlers...

interesting. Having read through this thread, I came to the conclusion marshall is the goat bowler.

I have recently come to view McGrath > Marshall.

 

[Johan]

Barnes is probably better than either

The best of ‘em today is half as good as Barnie

 

[Johan]

The best of ‘em today is half as good as Barnie

and that was a compliment.

 

[Coronis]

and that was a compliment.

I always did love the idea of the two grumpy cricketers somewhat mellowing in old age and watching the cricket (or hearing it in Rhodes’ case) together. Very heartwarming.

Nobody would care if he scores a ton and Eng get crushed. Would be forgettable.
