threads like these is why people end up disrespecting indian fans.

Always looking for validation by comparing their disgusting bowling lineup with world greats

you started a thread about Rizwan possibly becoming the GOAT wicketkeeper, pipe down
I didn't compare him with anyone lad or use words like goat. I was talking about his skillset champ and if it can take him further, something a lot of keepers today are one dimensional in.

Secondly if you want to support threads like these, go ahead

International Debutant
Not sure if this is a troll thread but Sharma still averages above 32 with the ball in tests with 3 wickets per match and Lillee averaged under 24 with over 5 per match. Lillee had a much superior ODI record too.

Lillee ducked playing in Asia and possibly threw a match to win a bet and was never held accountable for either.
Similar to Ponting and Warne, he had valid excuses. He had only just recovered from an injured left petula which would flare up when within a kilometer of any poverty. The chakras weren't right on the days he was supposed to fly to Asia too, can't really blame him. I mean I don't think this excuses him completely but it's important to point out these things because people tend to overstate how this is a hole in his career.

Should point out though that Ishant's improvement only started once he quit being vegetarian and put on some size.
Actually he's been vegetarian for the last 2 and a half years


In that time he has taken 47 wickets in 17 Tests at an average of 18.87, SR of 40.9. So it's safe to say that Vegetarian Ishant > Lillee.

Averages 62.5 in South Africa in this period tho - perhaps all the Braai around him threw him off.
