hazharoon Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 UV was a quality ODI cricketer. Sachin - we all know how great he is. Kohli is a very good ODI cricketer. Dhoni - great ODI batsman EVER. Inzi - greatest match winner in tests.
Guldozer Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Similar avg but better SR. Twice the batting avg in the WCs. They played in different eras, hence different strike rates. But I can say that Umar Akmal has a similar average and a similar SR as well as the fact that he does well in world cups, does that mean he deserves a name in the all time best batsmen from Asia? Yuvraj also has a golden duck in a world cup semi-final and also cost India the T20 world cup last year. Whereas Pakistan wouldn't have a world cup to its name if it wasn't for Inzi's innings in the 1992 semi final. Agreed Inzi was bad in world cups but he also won us one. But forget Inzi, India itself has produced better batsmen than Yuvraj. Kohli has already surpassed Yuvraj and IMO even Yousuf was better than Yuvraj. Edit: Just realised he was chosen over Sanga too. :hysterical:
Zero_Unit Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Tests -------- Gavaskar Dravid Tendulkar Sehwag Sanga ODIs ------ Sachin Ganguly Dhoni Yuvraj Jayasuriya You had so many greats to choose from and you chose him? Not even that great tbh
HippoSucks Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 How is Gavaskar chosen over the world's best batsman (or second best) in Tests?
Mahaa Raavana Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 When you take out meaningless, selfish runs on flat feather beds, the following are the top 5 asians test batters. 1. Kumar Sangakkara 2. Mo Yousuf 3. Dravid 4. Inzamam 5. Tendlkar
FischerTal Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 1) tendulkar 2) Dravid 3) gavaskar 4) sangakara 5) miandad / de silva

jusarrived Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Tests: Dravid VVS Tendulkar Gavaskar Sanga ODI: Dhoni Virat Tendulkar Yuvi Raina
Raghav_12 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Sachin, Gavaskar, Dravid and Sanga are locked. Only fifth position is open with contenders being VVS, Miandad, Inzi, Arvinda,Sehwag.
Kalia_Test Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Lol Yuvraj. Way better than anyone Pak ever produced. Inzy did nothing in WCs and always failed in pressure situations. LOL at Inzi's WC batting average. Yuvraj was MoS in our WC win and strikes fear in opposition. Yuvi over FTB Inzi anyday of week and twice on Sundays
Austin 3:!6 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Tests: Gavaskar Sachin Dravid Sanga Sehwag ODI's Sachin Kohli Dhoni Ganguly Jayasuriya
anish233 Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 It has to be: (in no particular order) Sachin Dravid Inzamam Sangakara Gavaskar Gavaskar
rtmohanlal Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 tests & one dayers combined Sachin Sanga Miandad GAvaskar Dravid

Yuvraj was MoS in our WC win and strikes fear in opposition. Yuvi over FTB Inzi anyday of week and twice on Sundays Yes apart from the fact that we wouldn't have won a world cup without Inzi. And Yuvraj's bowling was what made him MoT in the world cup...it wasn't his batting alone. He was only the 8th top scorer. And this thread is about batsmen. There is no way you can include Yuvraj over Sangakarra, Yousuf and Inzi. Even Kohli is already better.

Kohli might eventually replace someone but laughable about Yousuf and Inzi ( Sanga might come as WK/batsman below Dhoni but not as pure batsman ). We might not have won the WC without Munaf Patel's bowling. That does not mean he is a world class bowler or ATG. Amarnath and Madan Lal won us the WC too. Inzi's WC average is chris martinesque :cantstop:

Inzi got 60 of 37 balls, back in 1992 when such strike rates weren't usual at all, and we wouldn't have won either unless he played as well as he did.

Inzi got 60 of 37 balls, back in 1992 when such strike rates weren't usual at all, and we wouldn't have won either unless he played as well as he did. LOL at picking one innings from way back in 1992 when Inzi played in 92,96,99,03 and 07. So many matches and no one can give any other example :haha::haha: Also picking one innings where Yuvi got duck... If we were to pick single innings, then Aravinda Desilva will make Inzi eat mud and Jayasuriya will wipe the floor with him. Gambhir has a WC final 90 too. Inzi was a flop in WCs and certainly will not be even in top 20. Even Raina has much better knocks in world cup knockouts than Inzi. Check and you will agree.
Bublu Bhuyan Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Batsmen - Sachin, Sunny, Sanga, Dravid, Miandad. Bowlers - Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Fazal Mahmood, Kumble
