Who had the better support act?


Who had the better support act?  

  1. 1.

    • Kapil in the 80s as a bowler.
    • Tendulkar in the 90s as a batsman.
    • Don't know/Can't say

this thread has HUGE potential :popcorn:
Yeah, for fan boys to show new levels of stupidity or evade voting at all as it will shatter the cocoon of 'OMG, Tendulkar was a one man army in the 90s' if they vote honestly.

Karsan Ghavari? Did he not take his wickets bowling along with Kapil? Was he senior to Kapil? How about Madan Lal? He couldn't take even 61 wickets?

This reminds me of one of the joke i read from a old Tamil magazine After West Indies toured India in 1983 right after world cup. They decimated us. By the time 5th tets got over there were lot of jokes about this series. One of the cartoon joke was Kapil dev asking umpire "Am i allowed to bowl from both ends" .

The question is vague....Did Kapil have bowler's support -no,Did he have a fine batting support ...yes Sachin,Did he make a difference with the bat to make up for ordinary batsmen and ordinary bowlers ...yes Verdict:Sachin

Oh come on now Shwetabh, dont be conservative with selecting bowlers who took 50 wickets or more. Lets have the top 10 bowlers of the 80s. Shastri Maninder Doshi Shivlal Yadav Arshad Ayub Chetan Sharma Hirwani Madan Lal Binny Shivramakrishnan Please dont forget also rans of Gopal Sharma, Balwinder Sandhu, Sanjeev Sharma and Salil Ankola. A proverbial who's-who of Indian cricket

Definately KapilDev, no two ways about it. During his time, Jab chhota bachha peda hota tha, to ma kehti thi, batsman yanha spinner banna...LOL... he had hardly any quality support. He is hte reason we have more than decent pace bowlers coming out of India. Btw I think you should also seperate Home and Away records. At home in 90s we always had batting , but we succumbed playing away. Kambli Bambli's average will go down.

Damn, even I voted incorrectly. The Sachin 'One man army' is a massively overrated BS. Indian team was sucking in 90s even with or without Sachin.
