Guest Gunner Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Apparently that is the case for Geoffrey Boycott and some other English media persons. :cantstop::cantstop: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2011/jul/29/england-trent-bridge-swing Direct your attention to the last paragraph. :cantstop:
Yoda-esque Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 No. Stuart Brad reminds me of Serani with a bad hair cut.
Sid Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 This is the limit :cantstop: And I was amazed when some lunatic compared him to Hadlee earlier this week somewhere in the internet world :winky:
Serani Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Geoffrey compared Stuarts batting to Sobers as far back as 2008 I remember, he must know having seen Sobers bat quite a bit.
yoda Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Well he hits the ball very cleanly. Seems to be turning into a good all rounder for England. As always guys like Botham and Boycott get an orgasm every time an Englishman does something decent, so that hyperbole comparison is to be expected.
Kumar Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Geoffrey compared Stuarts batting to Sobers as far back as 2008 I remember' date=' he must know having seen Sobers bat quite a bit.[/quote'] technique is very well possible indeed, but for batting genius and greatness, no left hander comes close to sobers, arguably the greatest left handed batsmen with the likes of pollock and Lara behind him on that list!
Fontaine Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 To be fair to Boycott he made the comment in passing years ago and quickly said that Broad doesn't have the raw talent to be anywhere near as good as Sobers, but just some of the shots he played reminded of Boycott of Sobers. That's all.
Rajiv Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 No. Stuart Brad reminds me of Serani with a bad hair cut. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
The Realist Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Prior to the last 1.5 tests he was so awful and had such bad figures he was on the verge of being dropped, but a week later he is being compared to a great all rounder. Just shows the retarded and ignorant attention span of people in today's internet world.
Guest Gunner Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Geoffrey compared Stuarts batting to Sobers as far back as 2008 I remember' date=' he must know having seen Sobers bat quite a bit.[/quote'] Obviously, since Broad is English, how can it be wrong.
apeeman Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 interesting...boycott also predicted the following after the end of the 1st session. We all know how accurate he is http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/43240/Boycott-critical-of-Indian-bowlers
apeeman Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 boycotts point about bhajju is spot on I think he was being really harsh on bhaji. Given that he bowled only one over in the morning spell,it was too early to make such a statement. In this case, boycott was way overboard in his comments.
apuk79 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Broad reminds me of the great Sir Agggyy! May have an Adelaide or Headingley type moment but will never perform consistently on the big stage. Never!
ShebbySB Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 :two_thumbs_up::two_thumbs_up:No. Stuart Brad reminds me of Serani with a bad hair cut.
The Outsider Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I am sure some resident experts will agree with Boycott and even go on to say Broad is much greater than Sobers because Sobers played in the amateur era and Broad in the jet setting professional era.:winky:
ShebbySB Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 This whole English media & former English players are nothing but bunch of trolls.They can't see any good in the Indian team which is far superior than them in the rankings & also in the ground but they hype abt their team like insane.Their 2 openers are average compared to our Viru & Gauti.Trott is like Hussey who is bound to fade away in couple of years.Pieterson & Bell are good but there is no comparison with our middle order where Wall,God & VVS bats.Raina is far better than that "Irish club-level cricketer".Prior & MSD are even & our bowling attack is also pretty even with them with Zak,Sree,Ishu & PK.Bhajji is going through a lean patch so at this moment Swann is better.Overall our best XI is better by a long way than their best XI.I've just one thing to say that Boycott is an annoying oldman who just can't see the Indian team without a jaundiced eye.Sunny bhai needs to give him something back or else that mad old man will rate Bresnan as good as Kallis:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
J P K Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Lol just because he is bowling good aginst us he is compared with sober how can they forget they were thinking of axing him only two weeks ago broad is as good as bhajji
Alchemist Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I did not see Sobers hence cannot comment. As for boycott. He is on something these days.
