    Rahul Dravid vs Graeme Pollock

    Not intuition, his peer rating as Sobers level.

    Rahul Dravid vs Graeme Pollock

    That's a dodge if I ever saw one.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    You do realize YOU were the one to convince me that in an ATG scenario, a fifth bowling option is not that necessary, hence go with the best bats?

    Peak Imran vs Peak Ambrose

    Imran easily. Peak Ambrose averaged around the same as post-peak.

    Rahul Dravid vs Graeme Pollock

    How do you know Pollock was outstanding? And was Dravid equally outstanding?

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    Dude, we have all been following your trajectory in your arguments and your views on Imran have been notorious for years. No need to play dumb. It's all transparent. You could have easily have just compared slip catching directly to runs of all kinds. Instead you made it about lower order runs...

    Rahul Dravid vs Graeme Pollock

    Yeah but you have already admitted you rate Yousuf below Pollock. That means you are willing to ignore longevity. Just not for Dravid. Exactly. Not on how good Pollock was.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    Yeah but what if their entire slip cordon had their thumbs chopped off. Would you take that over Imran's runs?

    Strawman. False dilemma. Red herring.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    Let us clarify @kyear2 and his shtick. He has an irrational irritation for Imran and can't stand his name in an ATG XI. He argued that including him is weakening the bowling. Given that most don't find that argument compelling, he tried a different track, which is to discredit all lower order...

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    All of us recognize that having a good slip cordon is important. What we don't buy is that ELITE slip fielding is a secondary skill. It is tertiary.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    Un no. They are so beyond other teams that they don't need extra lower order batting. They could also have a crap slip cordon and still win easily. But who cares? This is entirely your own scenario that nobody is interested in arguing except you No. Depends entirely on the strength of the...

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    That is called a red herring. Imran is in contention for a pace spot in an Aus or WI lineup and would have easily got it. Nobody, NOBODY is suggesting a tradeoff between slip catching and Imran's lower order batting, except you. The real point that emerged is an in an ATG situation, Imran's...

    Rahul Dravid vs Graeme Pollock

    All these arguments can be used to show Pollock < Yousuf. Now you are bringing racism into it. Desperate.
