Melbourne Red said:
Viv's better than Don.
I reckon he would've averaged 110 back in his day.
Spoony said:
Its not possible to compare batsmen from different era.
Secondly comments lik Bradman wasnt tested with pace is utter bollox.
vijay said:
Bradman played in only two countries. Fact.
Bradman only faced bouncers in one series, in which he averaged 50.
I doubt he would've lived with Richards in the 70's and 80's.
No fecking chance.
He's taking the piss
For the record, the Don had much better stats in his 15 tests against countries other than England than in the 37 against them.
Although India was rubbish back then and West Indies were only so-so.

Fecking hell, you are some thicko. I will need to spell it out for you.vijay said:You what?
You listed gavaskar in your top5 list and Sachin wasn't in it. Which means you think he is better than Sachin.
Spoony said:
They bowled enough bouncers back then
Especially in that one series in which they bowled 4 every over. Where he managed to achieve an average only a couple of runs lower than Vivs career average.
Viv > Bradman.
Dalglish>Pele
Pele played in rubbish leagues and never won the European Cup.

India back then included Bangladesh as wellMelbourne Red said:
Though you are still rubbish
Melbourne Red said:
Like I said, only played in two countries. And the bowling was less hostile. Except for the Bodyline series. Plus SA, India and WI were all tripe.
Viv > Bradman.
Melbourne Red said:
Daft comparison.
Must try harder.
Best > Pele would be a lot more accurateMelbourne Red said:
Spoony is on a wind up again....
Spoony said:
Was Bodyline series was only about bouncers? I thought bouncers were there even before the bodyline series. Larwood was aiming at Dons body albeit Sir Don was willing to take on the pace by exposing his stumps.
Bradman never struggled against Larwood and Voce but was physically tested

Though you are still rubbish
None of our lads played in that side.
In the same way Ed Joyce doesn't want to play for Ireland because they're too rubbish.
crappycraperson said:
Botham agrees.
Viv was amazing. He'd haven take the bowlers Bradman faced apart.
Spoony said:
Aye, it's fortunate that one of us is being sensible
Melbourne Red said:
You've never seen Viv play.
vijay said:
He averaged 50 odd in that tour. So yes he did struggle compared to tripe he had to face normally.
crappycraperson said:
I was merely listing down the one great batsman from a particular generation starting from Sir Don and even a person with minimal IQ can figure that out.
Lara is head and shoulders above the rest and warrants a place there. I repeat you must stick with arguments that is relevant to your age.
Spoony said:
The bowling was on uncovered pitches
Everyone from Bradman era > Viv.
Let's disregard the fact that I was advocating Viv only an hour ago.
Spoony said:
You're almost right
Except that I have.
Melbourne Red said:
They bowled on uncovered pitches in the 70's as well.
With more hostile bowling.
Bradman = fairy.
Melbourne Red said:
Have you feck.
Bangladeshis have only been into cricket for a few years.
JCL cnuts.
I bet you're 22.
More hostile bowling?Spoony said:
One thing that counts against Viv is that the best bowlers of the era were in the WI team, thus he couldn't prove himself against them
Spoony said:
No arguement there.
Aren't you 19 or something?Spoony said:
Also aren't you are irish?
Melbourne Red said:
Sorry.
crappycraperson said:
Over 30. But yes, I do look young.
And no I'm not Irish. Cheeky cnut. I may some Irish blood though.
Lara is head and shoulders above Sachin?vijay said:
I repeat, you are clueless.
crappycraperson said:
Lillee, Thompson, Imran, Akram(in the 80's) Hadlee, Botham, Willis etc etc. Some quality bowlers.
Spoony said:
Did they have any protective gear during that period?
Apart from a pads and guards the rest of the body stood exposed.
The psychological pressure on dangerous pitches also play a part apart from the batting technique.
For you information even Viv Richards has struggled for runs against Thommo and Lille.
crappycraperson said:Lara is head and shoulders above Sachin?
I repeat, you are clueless.
Lara's better than Tendulkar.
crappycraperson said:Lara is head and shoulders above Sachin?
I repeat, you are clueless.
Idiot .. Its an opinion.
You dont have any culture don't you?
vijay said:
Viv never wore a helmet, and wasn't keen on protection.
Viv > Bradman.
We already this one and I won.Spoony said:
crappycraperson said:
I won.
And I'm always right, even when I'm wrong.
"Lara head and shoulders above Sachin"vijay said:
Its obvious who the idiot is.
You clearly lost when I listed a massive list of quotes with everyone from Bradman to Lara jimself to loads of aussies claiming he was cleary better.Spoony said:
