And hopefully by the end of this decade you will come up with a answer that makes cricketing sense when it comes to the question of why the likes of Bill Bowes and Toshack have bowling avgs that only the very best fast bowlers are capable off. You conveniently avoided answering how suddenly 15 tests were enough to judge Bowes but Toshack didnt qualify because he had played in only 12.

You think it is easy to average 99 only in the 30s.. here is a guy who averages 99 in 2002. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/player/49767.html

sorry no service to slum dwellers like you

But my padosis are Ernie Toshacks's descendants. You dont wanna spend the rest of life with them??

wouldnt that be more expensive than your entire fkin house jhopad patti ? :facepalm:

No it wont be. Now if you can throw in a helmet that may just about cut it :hysterical:

Philander 6th test 41 wickets.. 14.04 avge Dosai's record is in danger. ERnie toshak 47 wickets in 12 tests.

lolz at the people giving Sandeep Patil's evidence to suggest how dangerous this game was in Hobbs time..:cantstop: Patil played some 50 years after Hobbs and Sachin played 5 years after Patil. Should we have a poll to decide which era Sandeep Patil belonged to - Sachin's or Hobbs?

Don't think the video was related to Hobbs topic. It is another topic.

Yes, you have successfully passed the IQ test with flying colour. Indeed Patil's video was to show how exquisite Hobbs ground strokes were....:hatsoff:

Do you post by the name of Lurker as well :winky:? Anyways, I think moot point was to prove that how dangerous is batsman-ship without helmets and that's why Hobbs and Bradmans are greater than current batsmen. If there was any other point, you can enlighten.

No.. Sunil Gavaskar was a moron not to wear helmet was the point.

The only other point may be that you can perhaps open a poll on whose era Patil belonged to? Sachin or Hobbs? :two_thumbs_up:

No.. Sunil Gavaskar was a moron not to wear helmet was the point.

So you think that Sunil Gavaskar belonged to Hobbs era? Anyways, I can take the argument that Sunil Gavaskar and Viv Richards took on fast bowling so they should get some credit for that. But if you say somebody should be given credit for playing without helmet when playing conditions were so easy that player could play cricket until grand-pa-esque of 50, then I can only laugh. In between, Gavaskar had also started wearing a fibre glass skull cap to protect his head towards the later part of his career, which more or less solves the same purpose as helmet. What does that mean, Gavaskar had become bad batsmen then?

Dont worry Philanders avg will come back to normal but concentrate on Toshack and Bowes ... how can such trundlers have that sort of an Avg ?

Talk about present.. At this point he is better than any fast bowler from any era going by the raw stat. Around 12 tests if his average is above 20 then never ever open a word about dosai and bowels

In present day cricket you need a bare minimum of 200 Test wkts atleast to make the cut but not long ago you proclaimed that Bowes & Co were the greatest. You also have proclaimed that since 99 > 55 Brad is the best ... so it implies that Toshack is about the same level as Akram and Bowes the same level as Donald.

Who said 47 wickets are enough to make the cut in the past.. you decided randomly? :cantstop:
