Given that he had poor start, he should be able to improve this further in next 10 or so matches. Ricky Ponting averaged 75.05 from Mar 8, 2002 to Dec 1, 2006. 53 matches, 6004 runs and 24 hundreds. That's the highest average any batsman has achieved over a span of 50+ tests. punter brutalized just about everyone but he didn't play that often against WC spinners and/or genuine turners. I'm much more disposed to rate sir garry higher. Link to comment

Both are worse than us in GDP per capita and HDI? How are you saying they are better in sports. Did you mean in certain sport events and sub divisions ? Or Do you mean if kenya ethopi were to compete in indian national olymics they will win more gold than indian states put together in final medal list? Link to comment

I always thought he was more of a consistent player without many peaks and downs, but it looks as though his best stretch was very impressive. Vilander 1 Link to comment

And not just cricket, with a 2 crore population they have such freaks in many sports. Greatest sporting country considering that population? Aussies are way better than Indians and very impressive.

Deleted_User_1 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Wow, does it not say how hyped up SRT was? On paper, he probably has the best talent, but underperformed quite a bit. His only hallmark is his longevity playing for 20+ years, the last two for selfish reasons. Laaloo and GoldenSun 1 1 Link to comment
cricketfan28 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 reaching him is not possible , so pointing should be the target. Link to comment
