India vs. South Africa

Mate, I've spent more hours on the cricket field than you have at your computer.

even kuyt is been spending years if not hrs...that doesn't mean he's good at it...moreover india will draw this match or win it.

hehehe
 
Viv Richards only averaged 50. . . loads of better players than him throughout history. Funny that considering he's the best batsman I've ever seen.
 
Kallis limited? Needless to say your indian... :lol:

Where did I say he was limited?

Yes, I'm an Indian and for years my favorite player has been Dravid but that doesn't mean I make stupid claims like Dravid is better than Sachin because frankly no he isn't.
 
No it's not.

There's only really three remotely slightly bowler friendly test playing nations, England, South Africa & New Zealand.

That still leaves him playing mainly in India, but in Pakistan, WI, Oz, Sri Lanka...your point is flawed.

Lets just forget all these countries and compare the performance of these 2 players against the best Test nation Australia, in Australia.

Sachin average= 58.5
Kallis average = 48.5

That's your opinion, I never saw him at his best, but I know WIndians that echo that sentiment.

I know not many people will agree with me, most of them because they have Indian ties, but how anyone can discredit Kallis by saying he's not in Tendulkars' league is just plain tripe.
Yes there are anomolies in stats, but I think these two are quite comparable in this instance.
 
Mate, I could point to a number of factors that you enter into this. Bowling burden? Overall quality of the team? Reliance?

South Africa have been better team than India for last few years.
Kallis is only a part time bowler and he is not the only one to do so.

I'm not Indian, but I don't think there have been better batsmen than Lara and Tendulkar over the past decade and a half. As for Viv, I think most people who have seen him play at his peak, agree that he's probably the best since Bradman. The problem with stats is that they don't show the whole picture. Anyone can show stats to back up their arguments. What next? Gilchrist is better than Richards because he's got a better average(I think he has, but you get the point). Tendulkar can play all over the park, his style very similar to Bradman's, a tad unorthodox with the way he closes the face of his bat.. In fact Bradman himself said that he's the only player he's seen the reminds him of himself.

I agree completely with that. From what I have seen of Richards on recorded matches, he was better than both Sachin and Lara. It's tough to choose between the last two but I would go with the former just for consistency.
Likes of Pointing and S.Waugh are not on the same level. Kallis is another one below.

I'd have Inzamam in a category below Lara and Sachin too. Kallis, I agree below them. Richards was devastating at his best, he could take any attack apart, it was so easy for him.

Spoony, this redender fellow is top red. Hates foreign pricks and such. Doesn't like the opinions of anyone who's not from Manchester. Good thing you're from there.
 
You really think your something special don't you?

You sit there, with yor little picture playing the big 'mod,' thinking your views are completely infallible. God I'd love to meet you just to affirm my mental picture of you as a complete retard.

I bet you wouldn't now which end of a cricket bat to hold.

:lol:

Awwwwww.
 
I'll give you credit when you prove that you aren't a fecking idiot.


Watch it, he'll get angry and make an inane post. That'll show you.

Childish, completely. Inane?

Well you're the one who couldn't argue a point. "Well I think Tendulkar is better than X,Y,Z...so this means you know nothing about cricket."

You harp on about Bradman, yet have you ever seen him play? View based on Pathe footage, but then again, most of your views are conceited from your armchair so why am I not surprised?

Bring on the lol's or jol's or whatever you gimps do.
 
feck off you twat, kallis iz better. So there. I said so. Just look at his average!!!!!!

lol. . . ** a cnut.
 
You've not made any point, just posted a stat, and then looked a complete fool. I bet you're around 19-20. Stick to computer games.




Well done.

God, did you manage to look at my profile all by yourself?

As for playing computer games, I stopped that after puberty... what's your excuse? That "StreetFighter" game looks good doesn't it??? Complete fecking gimp.

:lol: (I really am dealing with an immature person!)

You really have resorted to childishness haven't you? You may not respect my opinion, but I've not stooped to typing like this. Like I say, I'm not surprised, as you quite clearly act out the fact that your socially inept on internet forums. Just out of interest, how old are you?

Spoony's 60. You should call him a foreign prick even though he isn't foreign to you, like you did with sambachan even though he's from england as well.
