Who is Sri Lanka's best ever cricketer?

[OverratedSanity]

Interestingly, what is Lillee's average outside England and Australia?

Clubbing together England and Australia like that never made sense to me. They're extremely different places in terms of conditions and how you need to bowl there.

Has averaged 75 with bat and 34 with the ball in the last 2 years (18 tests). I'd call that Kallisesque

In that he picks and chooses when to bowl? Definitely.

 

[marc71178]

Bradmenesque period means it has to be at least as long as 52 tests.

And also be twice as good as the next best which this run clearly isn't so STFU calling it Bradmanesque.

 

[marc71178]

That's because ICC ratings are **** and only considers 4-5 factors

Calling someone else's ratings a bit **** when you keep linking to your ratings smacks of rank hypocrisy.

I don't think anyone has a problem with you saying that Murali is the GOAT in your opinion mate. You've specifically said he's the undisputed GOAT, which is simply not true. TBH, even Bradman isn't undisputed, there are many people in the world who would consider say, Tendulkar, better.

I didn't say he was undisputed - I said imo he's the GOAT and gave my criteria. Obviously it won't be undisputed because who you think is GOAT by definition is an opinion.

A bit like Jimmeh

Its a public forum. You need to calm your **** a bit

A bit like Jimmeh

What, you mean the bowler who wanted to play when 70% fit? Hardly comparable to the guy who was too hurt to bowl one week but was fully fit when the Zimbabwean's came to town.

70% fit haha what the ****. So Jimmeh is still too hurt to bowl?
Ya because Kallis never bowled in England and doesnt have a 5-fer there. Or didnt bowl 40 overs in one of the tests in that series.

I didn't club them. I knew what his average in England and Australia. What's outside of those countries
