Defo bro - no harm in agreeing to disagree.
I’ll be honest in his early career, I was a fan. When someone is establishing themselves is the best time to watch them bat.
Only issue here is that Babar is not even 0,0001% of the player Sachin was.
No argument from me here. Forget Babar, I was also on Inzi’s case for a long time too ask @MenInG - brother knows how harsh I was with him
By Bradman of bowling i meant the best bowler of all time.
Sachin was not a statpadder until he picked up the tennis elbow injury. Sudden loss of form made him desperate. But his statpadding happened mostly in the later part of his career that too when he approached 100. He didn't go after 100 from ball 1. He would play normally up to a point. But in the 1990s he was opposite of statpadding. He was in absolute command against every single bowling. If he had shown statpadding tendency he could have scored way more runs than now. He threw his wicket away in Tests.
In terms of talent Saim Ayub is better than Babar Azam.
Bro - Marshall is greater. He also faced great batsmen, and had more skills. He played in an era where batsmen had a lot more patience and could just wait until out metronomes like McGrath. Marshall forced the batsmen out where McGrath’s game was patience - eg wait until the batsman gives in to that nagging line and length. McGrath’s era also coincided with the explosion of ODI cricket and the batsmen mindset that came with it - ie more shots, less patience. IMHO McGrath wouldn’t have been as effective before the 90s. Even statistically Marshall has a better average and strike rate.
