Yashasvi Jaiswal versus Travis Head

The thread doesn't make sense at all.
Head is a 31 year old buddha who recently got to fame, Jaiswal is a kid who has just started. At the end of their respective careers, I have zero doubt that jaiswal will be far ahead of Head, but as of now one is in a purple patch while the other just started.

This shows that the people who started these sort of conversations dont really possess any cricketing knowledge.

This is on behalf of mominsaigol.
Please direct your questions to him.

I am just the messenger.
He wanted this thread open. So here we are.


But think of it this way. Jaiswal is so good that he is being compared to a peak head who is already at his best when jaiswal is no where near his prime
 
Nice explanation, but totally expected.
I like Travis Head more then Jaiswal? What's your issue? Jaiswal will probs have a better career then Travis Anyway?

So what's it to you if I consider Travis superior? It's just my opinion and everyone knows that I'm fair and critical to both Indian and pakistan teams but all that goes out of the window when it comes to Australia and Australia plays alot of cricket playing both pak and India later this year?

I enjoy the aussie team whole heartedly, what's the issue if I wish for them to bash India into oblivion.

I don't hate the indian team my dude. Their my 3rd favourite team after aus and NZ but I will crap on any team including India and it's players when Australia comparisons are brought up.

BGT trophy is near by, the wwe crowd must be riled up before then. After it's conclusion if India win, which it most likely will, you have my permission to troll me until aus removes India from ct 2025 🫠.

Seems like some Indians want people to cheer for India 24/7. High entitlement. LOL.

I have no issues with Indian posters but I do rile them up when they try to rile me up.

Any time someone puts anyone > their God fathers, they get super duper angry. But after a while I hear the words If you were an aussie fan you'd realise we have lots of respect for Australia and would never consider Bumrah > Mcgrath.

Oh chal mama, you're the same lot who put Dhoni > Bevan based of popularity and got irritated by bumrah and mcgrath but don't get irritated on other comparisons.

If anything this thread by me is a god send. I am giving jaiswal respect by comparing him to an actual left handed quality batter?

But they want saim ayub comparisons just like they wish to embarrass kohli with Umar Akmal comparisons 🤣🤣.

I'm helping these guys lol
 
After 1st round

Jaiswal 1 - Head 0
Four more rounds to go. :kp
The 1st test turned out to be proper humiliation for many here. So much so that they had to resort to Bumrah chucking and Aussies intentionally under perform due to IPL angle to save face. With 4 more matches coming up, lets see what future holds.

:qdkcheeky

I hope we can win Adelaide test than it will be proper humiliation for certain fans. :kp
 
Head wins easily. Played 2 brilliant knocks in 2 different ICC tournament finals (2023 ODI WC and 2023 WTC).

Jaiswal is still a new kid in town.
 
Not a fair comparison.

Head should be compared with KL Rahul and Babar Azam.
Yes and Laxman shpuld be compares with the likes of Asad Shafique and Azhar Ali.

Ashwin and jadeja should be compared with the likes of sajid Khan
 
I did not realize that head has already played 50 tests. I just saw his test record.

How many man of the series / man of the matches does he have?
 
Jaiswal is yet to play in any ICC event. He is raw and untested.

Head is tested. He has delivered in 2 different ICC event finals.

This comparison is silly (as of now).
 
Head > Lara coz he delivered in two finals.


Jaiswal, Rachin, Brook all of them are generational talents and will end up on a different league to Head who is below Ganguly, Gambhir , Sidhu as of now.

I can play devils advocate and still beat you on this topic lol
 
I actually understands the difference....
Jaiswal is like classical music... Tasteful and perfect, but not for masses.

Head is like pop music, shallow but effective... Works for masses...

But you haven’t, as I have already posted all of Sidhu, Gambhir and Ganguly average higher than Head in test cricket with better away averages.

Gambhir also delivered in two tournament finals just like Head so you can’t even use your poor excuse here.

Ganguly was rated as one of the best Odi players of his time and has delivered in CT knockouts as well as Wc knockouts.

Head should aim to emulate Sidhu in test cricket, even though Sidhu was an opener he averaged higher than Head and had a better away record with centuries against Ambrose, Walsh, Bishop in West Indies.

As of now Head has played same number of test matches as Sidhu, averages lesser than him, has less centuries and less runs too.

:ssmith

It is funny how salty some Indian posters are regarding Travis Head.

If Head was an Indian, they probably would've called Head an ATG already.

We don’t call Gambir an ATG, not even an Indian great actually despite him averaging higher than Head and winning us two tournaments and multiple test series.

So you can keep your whataboutery with yourself, not interested.

Sidhu > Head

Gambhir and Ganguly are on a different level.

Bring me a wc 100. I don't see one from Ghambir or from any of the names you mentioned 🫠
 
After 15 tests

Travis head


25 years old
939 runs
40.82 avge
51.48 SR

Jaiswal

22 years old

Jaiswal is better than Head in every aspect after 15 tests.

Travis head had hit feraking one six in the first 15 tests. Jaiswal has already hit 38 sixes !!

Accept that you lost the argument bro. Winning with 97 is as good as winning with 100

We need a Gambhir vs Head thread now!
 
Head wsa a guy who happened to be at the right spot. Under the lights chasing a low total. AHmedabad pitch will be a juicy batting track under lights. India posted a way below par total. The other one INdia tactically let things off. Both times common culprit Rohit. Even in world T20 he could not contain Head. But when India toured first time India trapped him in third man with bouncer tactic. Rohit the captain is one of the best thing that happened to Travis head. But for Rohit's captaincy nobody would be singing praise of Head now. Basically he trolled one side that led by a poor captain. His career average away from home is mere 29.

I often see people not rating Sachin because he averages 42 against pakistan just Check Head's average against pakistan. It is paltry 22 in 10 tests.
 
@jeeteshssaxena

I'm putting this put their.

Travis head has already surpassed Kohli as an all format batter. He's >>>>>>> Him in test and t20. Odi is debatable but I think Travis edges ahead
 
Thread is about Head vs Jaiswal.

Stay on topic
Thread is about Head owning Jaiswal.

Headache for India

10K crowd Silence Machine


Pick any name you wish. Travis Head joined the class of Pointing and Gilly the moment he hit that 100 in the final.

the only issue with Travis, is that he'll go down as one of those players who stats and century sheet is relatively empty compared to pointing + Gilly but each century, each performance will be ingrained in our minds forever.

The hitman of Australia.

A bit of a chalk and cheese comparison since they both have different roles in the team.

Jaiswal is there to play mostly classical cricket to see out the new ball and then start playing more shots once the ball gets older and the field is more spread.

Head is there to attack from ball one, since the expected situation is that 1-4 have already laid a platform. Even if they haven't he is still expected to shift momentum by putting pressure back the other way.

Would be fairer to compare Head and Rohit due to similarity in roles. Jais wouldn't really have a comparison in the Aus team atm since Khawaja is more defensive than he is.
 
bhai Head is WC winner and has established himself as one of the great of the game whereas Jaiwal is newbee and yet to be prove himself at International level.. so no comparison for now!

Tell that to Indian posters who think everyone from India be it gill, jaiswal, Ashwin, jadeja is automatically > Every player to ever exist including pointing, mcgrath etc etc 🤣
 
Head >>>>>>>> Jaiswal and Sidhu.

Head performed in 2 different WC finals. Head also scored many other great knocks.
Sidhu average 35 away from home with 4 centuries in the premier format as an opener against ATG attacks.

Head averages 29 away from home with 0 centuries in the premier format despite batting at 5 and in an easier era :inti

Sidhu used to treat Shane Warne like a noob.

Sidhu is a level above Head. :sachin
 
Head is batting all his life in Austrlia up against captain philips who relies on one bowler and bad field sets. Jaiswal on his very first tour. Give some time.
 
Besides Head is not a n opener. He is a middle order batsman who gets the luxury of facing 40 over old ball thanks to captain inept who let mcsweeney, khawaja, labu eating balls. As Australian commies s ay Head must come in early to the crease to get him.
 
Jaiswal at 22 years of age has 1600 runs in test at an avg of 54 with 4 centuries, 2 double centuries.

He is an opener so definitely gets the worst conditions and situations to bat in, at this age a certain Aussie player was. playing in his backyard.

Jaiswal should speak to Sidhu about how he batted against Curtly, Walsh and Bishop in West Indies and scored centuries. No point in thinking about what a 29 averaging batsman (Away) is doing. Jaiswal's ceiling is way higher. Sidhu should call him and tell him how to effectively leave balls outside off, if Jaiswal can emulate Sidhu he will already be a better batsman than the 29er. :yk

Travis head owns india, cope harder.
 
So its almost 2-2 for jaiswal vs head.good show by jaiswal . he should have to blame himself for not scoring a granted double. Even Langer was moaning that he missed a certain double

How is it 2-2? Wait until this test ends. In the 2nd test, Travis went carnage mode in the 2nd innings.

Furthermore Travis is still the highest run scorer of this series. That also counts.

That's a tough one. I really hate kohli but if I am being honest, I think kohli is ahead in odi for sure. Overall. But if Travis helps aus win a championship trophy or another wc then yes easily.
In t20 probably kohli at this stage in terms of accolades but impact performance in crunch games wise I would say head has a chance in the future to eclipse him.

In tests well kohli reached higher peak statically. But performance wise? For me it's a no. I rate head higher in tests provided he has 2 more big years. Needs to improve away average to atleast 35 plus. I would take head over kohli anyday in tests cause head can win me matches.

In odi for now kohli is ahead. In t20 head has time. One more good season is all he needs.
 
Damn. People really like Head.
3K TEST RUNS
2K TEST RUNS

That's like nothing man.
Has not even surpassed Shane Watson. Has done it in tests but limited overs,Hell no.

He is the fifth or sixth best test player in his team.

If i were to make a list of the great Aussie cricketers he will not make the top 40.

One wtc title.
One wc title.
One t20 title

Sounds like a true champion to me. He actually played a huge role.

He has improved a lot in tests.

Stats isn't everything. Impact wise He is up there amongst the best but what he needs to show is improvement in away average overall in other countries. He does step up in crucial games though
did really well in England.

T20. He has not win.
I do not put that much emphasis on titles. Lance Klusener won nothing. Glenn Maxwell did. Does not make him better.


I don't disagree with the impact part but he needs like 4-5 years of work to be on par with Warner. And Davey himself was no ATG.
 
Any fan girl can claim head as superior showing some random stats ot matches but after today's innings,Jaiswal showcased himself to be leaps and bounds better than Head .Head never have the defensive gear and can't save his own life by playing defence all the innings.
 
What’s the point of these random comparison threads?

This one makes 0 sense, one guy is just starting his career the other is in his prime.

One is a test opener, the other is a middle order bat.

Let them finish their careers and then start these threads.

Just to troll jaiswal as he was labelled as better batsmen in some other thread .
 
@mominsaigol Whatever happens in scg , he has much higher ceiling than head .u can pour vitriol as much as u like.
Yeah I'm sure cause every tom dick and Harry Indian players is > Head.

News flash but runs, avg and sr aren't the be all and end all, otherwise babar is already > Lara as an odi batsmen.

First have jaiswal surpass head in impact. Win 2 cups for your country and then we'll talk. Heck knowing head he'll make it 3-0 for the upcoming wtc 🤣🤣.
 
Has he outdone him? Who's scored more runs?
What's the score line now .its 2-2. Jaiswal in his first tour at heads place has outscored him with great innings and played as good as Lara in his first aus tour .so yeah it doesn't matter with the head who is 10 years elder and have lower avg Laxman trying to match.

Lol, what a weird metric.

Head has a higher avg, more runs in bgt so far, is the higest scorer followed by the fact that he pretty much won the 2nd test from a batting perspective single hanidely?

On what basis is this 2-2 metric nonsense coming from? Or are you claiming jaiswal 82 runs in a losing effort puts him > Head's contributions in bgt so far 🤣🤣🤣.

As soon as jaiswal scores runs , u tried to shift goal posts .every can see what u posted in earlier posts.

Yeah i can see u have already shifted goal posts. Thats y u r a pathetic liar
 
Let Jaiswal be Jaiswal. head be Head. We have to stop these stupid comparisons. Yes there are some comparisons that happen organically. Sachin vs Lara, Warne vs Murali, Root/Kane/Smith/Kohli. These random comparison of a young top order with a reasonably eseasoned middle order is not good.

Who is the top scorer so far? Who is leading the charts? And who's winning bgt as a whole?

Why not just admit that Indians overglorify every tom dick and Harry player?

Travis head would have been viewed as some sort of god if he were Indian. Howsver because he's Australian you can't handle the fact that he's been the Papa of india for a while along with Steve smith.
 
I'm so glad this bgt took place as it has exposed Indians and india as a whole as the biggest cry baby nation in the world.

A) Only country that refuses to travel to a certain country due to racism and abuses it's money and power

B) Only country that cries nonstop about a drs decison

C) Only country that burns houses and tv stations down due to one single loss.

D) only country that celebrates a 2.5 day rained off test match draw as the greatest achievement in sports entertainment

E) Only country that cries and weeps nonstop when they realise that I was correct about india being humbled by travis head and Steve smith and travis being > Jaiswal.

I still remember all the comments that mocked me and confidently claimed that travis wouldn't perform better then jaiswal and that steve smith would fail in BGT.

MY OH MY OH MY 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Never seen a bigger brand of crybaby hooligans in my life. No wonder then went haywire when I claimed that 2024 india is in decline.

NZ and Aus was the perfect reckoning.

Even had crybabies defend siraj and kohli's behaviour
 
This alone shows how much of a sore loser u r by shifting from original version
No offence, but you and Indian posters as a whole are the last breed on this planet who have any right to lecture me about being a sore loser.

Apna bhoota dekha hai? Am I the one crying about a drs decision for jaiswal? Or crying about not coming to one country for God knows what reason but still wants to play ct? Or burning people's houses down?

Or aren't man enough to admit that I was right 3 times in a row, about 2024 india being in decline followed by travis and Steve smith being india's reckoning in BGT.

Where my praise ghalib? Or are you going completly forget that this prediction or conversation ever happened?

Don't lecture me about being a sore loser, first lecture your comrades to not create nonsense threads crying about a result or celebrate test draws as if you've won the lottery.
