No ifs and buts, what I am saying is despite all that Imran is still the better player and had a more successful career. He still has a better record - see above.

Sobers was obviously best.
It reminds me of that great quote.
Tony Greig (marvelling at Steve Waugh's performance in a test match): "Surely he's the best all-rounder in the world!"
Ian Chappell: "He's not even the best all-rounder in his family.".
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

All I can "see above" is Botham taking more wickets, scoring more runs, scoring more hundreds and scoring more double hundreds. Imran Khan double hundreds: ZERO.Originally posted by looprevil View Post
Botham got injured too you know.

We are talking about analysing a career once it is over lad, not while they are still playing - is that hard for you to understand? Or is it just hard to swallow that a Pakistani cricketer could be better than Englands greatest?"Its not about the long ball or the short ball, its about the right ball." Bob PaisleyComment

It's a futile debate so there's no need to get p***ed off about it.
They were both very good players.
