Ambrose and Walsh.
Fairbrother was the greatest player of his generation.

Robbo was a heavy drinker (of alcohol). They all were. Difference was that Robbo could still play to the best of his ability the day after, the others couldn't.
crappycraperson said:
The terms "period" and the "generation" can be used alternatively. Gavaskar best batsman during the 70's and Richards in late 70's and the 80's , just like Sobers in the 60's. Even after Richards became the king, Gavaskar was still scoring tons but hardly anyone dreamt about comparing them.
Sultan said:
Yup.
No one has mentioned Abbey Kuruvilla and Harwindar Singh.
Ahh thataway. Didnt have much to do with what i said, but alright.Spoony said:
Alright someone end this painful argument between crappy and vijay about the definition of a generation.
Give overvijay said:
They were from same generation. Viv was recognized as a great player even in last 70's, similarly gavaskar was in early 80's.
Sachin is better than lara.
crappycraperson said:
You're learning Manc, Crappy.
Good good.
I am not going to post in this thread again.
crappycraperson said:
Why?
Rubbish thread this. Fitting title as well.
Its getting annoying.Sultan said:
Vijay could have just said he hates Sachin, I would have understood then why he thinks Lara is a lot better.
Plus he refused to accept that me messed up the "generation" think.

Come on lads, credit where it's due...Indians are generally good sports.
This is Lara's day.
crappycraperson said:
Say, if Tendulkar puts up some some mediocre performaces or retires after the WC and Hayden makes it big in the next five or six years would it be apt to compare between Tendulkar and Hayden. It's almost same as comparing Gavaskar and Richards albeit their careers overlapped for more than a decade.
Agreed
Agrrrh I posted again 
Ruined my Saturday evening with this shite.

Brain Lara.. The greatest player of all time...
Feck lara and sachinvijay said:
You are clueless if you think Gavaskar and Viv didnt belong to same generation.
Ask othe cricket fans, may be that will open you eyes.
With that it's good bye from me.
crappycraperson said:
Vijay apart, do you give credit to Lara?, the greatest run scorer in test cricket. Sachin is up there in greatness mind.
vijay said:
I have an issue with that, Sachin and Fairbrother are up there with him.
Like i care.. frankly i find the whole Lara thing amusing, great player and all.. But once again hes been rubbish in this series when it really mattered, then when no one really give a feck, he scores a double century and people get all excited. Who cares? The series is over.. he should have done something when the series was still alive.Sultan said:
Crappy and Vijay should get the caf award for the most pointless arument.Sultan said:
I'd also put Gladstone Small along with them.
Gavasker and Richards were different players, for entertainment I would pay to watch Richards, Gavasker would give the team solidity.
vijay said:
OMG youv really lost it... pleast dont post on this forum again, especially not about cricket.
vijay said:
Naah, he was a brummie.
Grrh I will post again just for SultanSultan said:
My list of best batsman would be:
1)Don
2) Viv
3) Sachin
4) Lara
Sultan said:
Unlike Sachin and Lara , there was a never a time they were compared against each other. Gavaskar was already one of the best batters in the world before Vivan established himself.

He was wrongly given out twice in the last two tests.
Sultan said:
Let us take Atherton then?

If I had called Tendulkar as the greatest batsman of all time, it would've made some sense Is it?
Doesnt change the fact that he hit the double when it didnt matter at all. Just like everything hes done in the last 5 years or so.Sultan said:
Alright im off.. wasted 2 hours of mine on this rubbish thread.
Nothing new, Aussie always cheat down under the cnuts.Sultan said:
vijay said:
Besides being intelligent as all Lancastrians are, he was boring.(Steve Davis of cricket)
crappycraperson said:
The list is spastic. Even Marcello can identify the odd man out of the list as Sachin.
crappycraperson said:
Not as bad as that Aussie Darryl Hair, he should not be allowed to officiate on the Indian Sub-Continent.
You said greatest player of all time. Which he clearly is not. Hes not even the greatest batsman of this generation. Look at the records of the likes of Gary Sobers and then come back.vijay said:
Feck off you clueless idiotvijay said:
Sultan said:
Boycott
Gary Neville
Fairbrother
Yorkie(He also supports Trinidad and Lara's best friend)
and also the
Poor Man's Botham
Vijay go support some other country in cricket. You clearly dont know how to value our national heroes.
crappycraperson said:
The yanks can easily figure out your thickness in cricket. Better try out in some German Univesity or some where in Siberia or preferably St Petersburg or Vladivostok.
They would believe ... Tendulkar is better than Lara.
