the don Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Gambhir' date=' for large part thanks to 2011 final, but when on song loved watching his combative attitude and gave 110% for India, especially vs Pakistan:cantstop:, versus Pakistan he would go into this psycho mode[/quote'] whats his record versus pakistan in general and Irfan in particular ??
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Yuvraj by a fair margin Ganguly was better than Yuvraj singh. Better conversion rate and was more complete batsman.
Lord Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Ganguly was better than Yuvraj singh. Better conversion rate and was more complete batsman. Poor SR. Yuvraj ' exploits In WT20 2007 swing it in his favour .
SLICKR392 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Poor SR. Yuvraj ' exploits In WT20 2007 swing it in his favour . My fanboyism kept aside, I would have Yuvi over Ganguly any day. Sachin was an impact player an accumulator while opening for us unlike Dada. Would back a Yuvi or Raina to win us a match over him, which is what matters in the end. If its stats and the number of runs you have stacked up then Dravid will end up being the 3rd best ODI bat for us. Yuvi Ganguly Raina Gambhir

bowl_out Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 While Yuvi and Raina are impact players who can blast through, Ganguly was the more stable kind, who could accumulate and get big scores... My pick would still be Ganguly for ODIs and Yuvi / Raina for T20

adi B Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 no doubt its ganguly,yuvi comes close second. ganguly,like yuvi was a great icc tournament player(pretty clutch aswell) with 7 tons.he literally manhandled the best bowling side in saf during the late 90s,early 2000s.i remember at one time during 2003 wc,his stats read 230 odd matches 8k+ runs,22 centuries @42.now those are brilliant numbers

The other 3 tons Ganguly scored were against Namibia x1 and Kenya x2 in the 2003 WC. Which is the 7th ton? Also, when you compare Ganguly to Yuvraj, you need to understand that Ganguly was an opener.

Austin 3:!6 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Between 1997 - 2001 (peak years) Ganguly was top 3 ODI batsman in the world. At one point he was outscoring Lara and Sachin in ODI's. Scored 18 centuries in 5 years which took Sachin around a decade. But he couldn't sustain his peak for longer.

Scored 18 centuries in 5 years which took Sachin around a decade. But he couldn't sustain his peak for longer. In a completely unrelated fact, from 1st September 2001 one bouncer per over rule was allowed in ODIs. Ganguly's 100s post that 1xSA, 3xKenya, 1xNamibia. That's like a complete fall from the peak if you can't score 1 ODI 100 post 2003. All this, when you open the batting and you have the best chance.
mishra Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Vinod Kambli Vinod Kambli had pottential to top the list only if Azhar didnt screwed his career (just like Dhoni screwing Umesh Yadav). In absence of him its Dada.

It's hardly unrelated.......Dada had a glaring weakness against short pitch bowling....... I also think that, ultimately, the pressure of captaincy affected his batting........as well as the fact that he had stopped opening from 2003-2005.......

In absence of him its Dada. Azhar can be blamed for a lot of things......'screwing' Kambli's career wasn't one of those........Kambli didn't truly have the desire to be the best........I've read an article or two where he has said that he has no regrets about the life style choice he made after attaining fame......says it all really.......

I was sarcastic dude!
