Trichromatic Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 London, Oct 30 (PTI) West Indian batting legend Vivian Richards reckons Kevin Pietersen is cricket's answer to Muhammad Ali, and believes the English batsman has got the "X-factor" to respond to his critics in the upcoming four-Test series in India. Richards, who won seven Tests in India with the great West Indies teams of the 1970s and 80s, finds a similarity between Pietersen and the world's greatest boxer in terms of their behaviours. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/kevin-pietersen-is-crickets-answer-to-muhammad-ali-viv-richards/1024005/
kubrickian Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 :facepalm: Mohammad Ali never did this. ld9ZjgPyQRk
Bublu Bhuyan Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 He himself was the Muhammad Ali of cricket, sheer arrogance and dominance. P.S. On a side note, the great man does seem to make over the top statements every now and then. He rated Brett Lee on par with guys like Holding and Garner about 2-3 years ago, and that was merely because of Lee's mind blowing fitness level. That I thought was a joke!

Bublu Bhuyan Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 you must believe that. Believe that Brett Lee is on par with those West Indian greats? Huh! That's as funny as Imran Khan rating Inzamam to be the best player of pace bowling.
Crookbond Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 :facepalm: Mohammad Ali never did this. ld9ZjgPyQRk So dancing to a K-pop song will take away your Muhammad Ali title? I don't agree he's like Ali but dancing to this song is clearly not the reason.
Sandeep99 Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Pietersen is an awesome batsman, but the man who spoke resembles Ali more than anyone else
panther Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Believe that Brett Lee is on par with those West Indian greats? Huh! That's as funny as Imran Khan rating Inzamam to be the best player of pace bowling. you obviously haven't watched much cricket.
Sarkar Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Believe that Brett Lee is on par with those West Indian greats? Huh! That's as funny as Imran Khan rating Inzamam to be the best player of pace bowling. Pakistani cricketers always big up their players inzy best player of pace bowling thats a joke may be ikhan shud look at inzy records in aus sa and eng.Inzy was good only in asia that too against average bowlers.
Executioner Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 richards was the MA figure of cricket, not KP from any angle

rkt.india Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Believe that Brett Lee is on par with those West Indian greats? Huh! That's as funny as Imran Khan rating Inzamam to be the best player of pace bowling. You never know because Lee did not bowl in that decade and they did not bowl in this decade.
Sarkar Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 very biased post' date=' Pakistani players (established) are comfortably better players of pace bowling.[/quote'] Yes thats why your the batting pavar house too.
CG Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 You never know because Lee did not bowl in that decade and they did not bowl in this decade. Lee averages 30 that too playing his cricket in australia and he is not even close to best of his times ,so he cannot be compared .
vvvslaxman Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 As much as i like KP's batting, he is at best Justin Timberlake not Mohammad Ali.
panther Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Yes thats why your the batting pavar house too. stats don't lie
rkt.india Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Lee averages 30 that too playing his cricket in australia and he is not even close to best of his times ' date='so he cannot be compared .[/quote'] You cant compare players across decades. You never know how many bowlers from 70s-80s would average 30 now. LEE'S SR is not the worst. Comparable to greats.
vvvslaxman Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 In terms of Indian fan base , it is constantly growing for KP as it was for Viv Richards. His facebook more Indian followers than others.
Vilander Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 very biased post' date=' Pakistani players (established) are comfortably better players of pace bowling.[/quote'] nope you are wrong. ind and pak against aus,sa,nz,eng,wi in their grounds. When it comes to batting we own your **** everywhere.
panther Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 nope you are wrong. ind and pak against aus,sa,nz,eng,wi in their grounds. When it comes to batting we own your **** everywhere. remove draws
