[VIDEO] Top 50 Test Batters of All Time

Yousuf has poor record in Australia, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. He has stat padded heavily by averaging 240 in Bangladesh. Around 2006 onwards, Pakistani pitches were as flat as they come and hence it is hard to rate him very high. Both Inzy and Younis are better than Yousuf.
Yes, the pitches in England were very flat 🤡 in 2006. And this is an England side that had beaten the Aussies at home the previous year. And oh yes, England exposed yousuf’s weakness - he gets out in the 190s

he didn’t score a ton in Australia did he 🤡?

The same poster you are conversing with said this and then denied it. He is not one to argue honestly and in good faith.

He said pitches in Pakistan thats where Yosuf might bradman scored runs while he was surrendered cat against good opponent mighty 29 avg🤣😁

Yousuf is bootleg version of kohli.
Kohli 5x Superior Than this minnow basher. Hadnt been indian pitches toughest to score after 2015he would’ve 50+ avg.

Yousuf , babar azam, waqar Yonis all have legacy of statpading minnowbashing.
Bang average cricketers only hyped ballon who achieved nothing.
 
What else can you expect to him, limited 🧠.
Both of you can continue to lie all you want, I even shared the title of the thread. Idk how to share the link. Here's the title. @Ab Fan

Here, both of you can check it yourself and with the help of ratty behaviour, ask @mods to edit the text :vk2.


Also can someone please axe my indian copycat from the forumn? Like seriously can someone chop his head off?
 
I will repeat a million times. Unless you are an opener their is no universe where a 45 avg no 6 batsmen who failed at the top order can be considered > a 52 avg batter under any circumstance.

Laxman has played 40+ more tests then Yousaf yet has less centuries and onpy 1K extra runs. To top ot off he played more minnows then Yousaf did.

He doesnt avg 50+ in any country except india, was a shan masood level batsmen in pakistan, a complete joke in England where its laughable how bad he was. Aus is the onoy country in sena he hasnt been a complete joke in.

Hes a bloody failure against england, SA, heck hes a failure vs Zimbabwe avg 40 💀💀.

He played far more minnows then Yousaf could ever hope to play yet still avg 8 points less, and barely made more runs despite having played 40+ more tests.

Indians aren't just biased and dishonest they are stupid as well.
 
Aww, what happened to this

Bro leave these guys behind like I said on multiple occasions they view the world with 'brown' stained tinted glasses :djb

A few days ago one of their so called goats 'Pujara' retired now they are on a world tour stating how great he was when he has near identical stats to the much maligned Azhar ali.

And Rahane alongside Pujara was supposedly the bedrock of the "Goat test team" has near on identical stats to Asad Shafiq:asad1
 
What makes matters worse is that Laxman was considered a so called test specialist who could only excel in one format compared to yousaf who divided his time between both formats.

A no 6 avg test specialist hahahahahaha. The fact that his record is so comical in england and against england is another testament that he cant play seam or swing for the life of him.

Almost all of his grand scores were on dead pitches including Australia in which while the pitch had bounce it didn't have much movement.

Laxman is the biggest clown. A bigger clown then jadeja and ashwin even. The same indians praising jadeja forgot that Joe root took a 5fer in india 🤣🤣

They are spreading misinformation on a Pakistani site and shamelessly lying about it. Infact they lie so much @Ab Fan is denying the fact that he lied.

Shamless people. They cant even get marketing down right :vk2 . Atleast optimise your keywords on google and meta properly 🤣🤣.

This is from their BJP playbook 😂
 
It is a perfect example of stat padding.
No other batsman in history can pile up meaningless runs in dead rubbers against weak opponents with such consistency. But when it comes to facing strong opponents, the weakness get exposed completely and all you are left with is a fraudulent statistics to play with - 240 average vs Bangladesh of 2000s lol.
I never take the assessment from pakistan fans about "batsmanship" seriously. Can't blame it apart from a few they never had any technique to survive pace and bounce ever. Till date. You can bounce out a pakistan team even on dead pitch like Mark wood did in the white wash test series. Just a low bounce pitch specialists. Do you recall any pakistan batsmen ever play pull shot with any sort of authority on fast and bouncy pitches.
 
Empty stats.

Pakistani batsmen are the master of stat padding cough cough Babar Azam.

Pujara has won two test series in Australia with 3 centuries in one. Azhar has only been whitewashed there.

Rahane has match winning centuries in both England and Australia and has won series there. No Pakistani batsman has that feat.

Shafiq hits runs in dead chases which he could not complete and Pakistan gets whitewashed (vs Aus 2016/SL 2017)

They just don’t know how to play on bouncy pitches or quality pace bowling when pitch has something in it.

Just look at their record vs Aus and SA compared to Indian batters. The gulf is massive.

Azhar Ali has a 200 in Australia with Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood bowling to him.

Pujara played for an infinitely better batting side? Get this nonsense out of this thread

Laxman has won series in England, Pakistan, WI which Yousuf never could.

Laxman has also contributed to drawn series in Australia where Yousuf lost EVERY match he played.

LIE

Cummins did not play in 2016. He only came back to the team in 2017.

Azhar Ali averaged 15.50 :misbah in 2019-20 when he faced the trio.

Pujara is the one who has three centuries in one series vs Cummins, Starc, Hazlewood. And then was solid in the next series as well including in the famous Gabba chase.

Are we just making up facts now?

Apples to Oranges. Tell Laxman to avg 50+ and then we will talk. Until then keep quiet

Also not experts against moving balls like say Dravid who is still shwon as an example by English commies about how to play besides the ball when the ball is jagging around. They were good against spin though. Guys like Younis Khan. But current crop is struggling even against spin.

Pakistan test cricket is dead.

This list will have no more Pakistanis (or West Indians).

Their greatest bat of this gen Babar has less 100s outside Asia than Ashwin or Jadeja

They have a fast bowling legacy. Even that is dead now with nobody is remotely close to takign 200 test wickets. Instead of chest thumping pointlessly with weird cricinfo filters they should worry about the batting technique and temperament.of current gen. These ranking of retired players is getting old. Every batsman had a role for their team. As long as they did that role they had done their job.

The Pakistani board and public don't care about test cricket but the posters here know that it is still seen as the most "prestigious" format so all this nostalgia.

Pakistan haven't won a SINGLE match in SENA in the 2020s.

Next time, can you reply when you have something that makes sense or grow up, whichever comes first

You can be very good but still not top 50.

The list is missing players like Clarke, Hussey, Martyn, Anwar, Langer, Gooch, Gower etc.
 
Any reasonable person who has played this sport and understands this game will always put Sachin as the second greatest batsman of all time. So good on Jarod Kimber for calling out the obvious. Good to read all the mental gymnastics though.

:kp

Perfectly put.
 
Anyone who has seen Viv Richards in his prime would not put Sachin above the former. Viv was more destructive than Sachin and was the greater entertainer. Ask some of the ex-greats. Viv had exceptional hand-eye coordination and reflexes. He had terrific eyesight, and some of his shots were pure eyesight shots where a lesser mortal would have just defended. Viv was a dominant and explosive player in a tougher era. No one played fast bowling as well as he did. His impact was colossal on international cricket.

Sachin was not as brave or dominant as Viv, but he had other defining qualities, such as longevity, consistent performances across different formats, and carrying the hopes of a billion people for two decades.

Also, you have to define what you mean by greatness

If it's dominance, then it's Viv

If it's consistency and adaptability, then it's Sachin

My 2 cents

There are indeed people who have seen Viv in his prime and yet put Sachin ahead of him. In fact there are such highly well reputed ex cricketers. 4 names that come into mind are Richie Benaud, Martin Crowe, Hanif Mohammad and David Gower.​

I forgot to name Wisden.
 
An example of Viv's supreme reflexes


No helmet, no elbow guard, no chest guard. Richards the champ
