Prakat Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Far ahead of the pack. A fact that both Bradman and Gayle stand for. Both of their career stats are statistical anomalies. But above all that we are seeing what it is like to watch a sportsman so adept at his game.
India-KXIP fan Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Statistically Mike Hussey and Shaun Marsh are not far behind but definitely the biggest hitter. Left handers seem to be the most successful in T20's despite being outnumbered. Lets see how Miller turns out too over the years. Yet another leftie.
carnish Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 More Like the Bradman of RCB ... Failed while playing for KKR, failed in Big Bash and I'm not sure he did so well in BPL too.
velu Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 More Like the Bradman of RCB ... Failed while playing for KKR' date= failed in Big Bash and I'm not sure he did so well in BPL too. This.. think he did well in the last years Big Bash.. no doubt he might have murdered all the bowlers in BPL

Take any sport, if you are a leftie you are at an advantage solely because you are outnumbered.
carnish Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 This.. think he did well in the last years Big Bash.. no doubt he might have murdered all the bowlers in BPL Gayle had 7 innings in Big Bash and got about 120 odd runs .... average of about 17-18. He just played in 1 innings of Bangladesh Premier League and got 114 off 51 balls.
philcric Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Statistically Mike Hussey and Shaun Marsh are not far behind May be not too far behind in averages, but SR and centuries .. Gayle is far ahead.

carnish Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Greatest ever T20 player :bow: BBL 2011/12 - 7 252 42.00 150.00 Means he is not consistent enough and hence cannot be compared to Bradman and certainly not the best T20 player if you're not consistent enough. Doesn't even do so well outside of Bangalore or Dhaka.
carnish Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 BBL 2011/12 - 7 252 42.00 150.00 Plus 7 innings 252, If i remember he scored a 100 not out in one innings which means just 152 more runs in 6 innings. Not the standards for a great T20 batsman.
bulbul Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 World T20 - 32 993 35.46 144.3 i can't remmeber so many matches played in bangalore :hmmm:
bulbul Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Plus 7 innings 252' date=' If i remember he scored a 100 not out in one innings which means just 152 more runs in 6 innings. Not the standards for a [b']great T20 batsman. Mooli?
carnish Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 World T20 - 32 993 35.46 144.3 i can't remmeber so many matches played in bangalore :hmmm: As I said decent stats ... Not Bradmanesque. I never said he is a bad T20 player. Comparing him to Bradman who was the epitome of consistency is a joke. And about the Bangalore comment ... I can't remember many of his blasting innings in WT20 maybe cause I didn't watch too many games because of India losing. Maybe you can help me.
bulbul Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 As I said decent stats ... Not Bradmanesque. I never said he is a bad T20 player. Comparing him to Bradman who was the epitome of consistency is a joke. When did Bradman played T20. Gayle is benchmark for T20 :winky:
carnish Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 When did Bradman played T20. Gayle is benchmark for T20 :winky: Nope ... Hussey or Marsh, even Watson is better. Heck even Raina is better than Gayle. 400+ runs in every season ... IT20 Century against Saffers.
bulbul Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 Nope ... Hussey or Marsh' date=' even Watson is better. Heck even Raina is better than Gayle. 400+ runs in every season ... IT20 Century against Saffers.[/quote'] People with SR of 130 are better :hysterical:
carnish Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 People with SR of 130 are better :hysterical: They are consistent atleast ... Not like 100 in bangalore and fail in rest of India.
bulbul Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 They are consistent atleast ... Not like 100 in bangalore and fail in rest of India. Consistant with 130 SR won't take your team sigle handedly to playoffs. Thos you mentioned needs other team mebmers to win matches.
Swing_n_Speed Posted May 9, 2013 Posted May 9, 2013 If T20 stands for babes, booze and paisa then I agree Bradman never got as much money as Gayle does and nor got laid by as many babes as Gayle has. Gayle's a pretty damn good cricketer too.
