@bollyBob1980 Жыл бұрын
The reason why VVS is a legend is because he thrived in adverse conditions: The more difficult the conditions, the better he played; this innings he played in conditions made for Lee, Warne, and McGrath and looked like the local. So when enthusiasts start that tedious conversation about averages in different eras comparing Kohli, Smith, Warner et al., to Bradman, Sobers et al., I remind them VVS averaged painfully shy of 46 and those young gents do not come close to him.
