George Headley — was he really tested by the best attacks?

Extrapolate what  ???

all England matches and a couple wid Australia ...

How he manage India spin ?? South Africa raw pace ? Pakistan ?

Terrible SAMPLING to attempt anything scientific.

Headley is a black man romantic notion of post Colonialism.

Thats it : give he a Gold medal  8)

Talking about Headley based purely on his numbers is nonsensical.

He can only be judged based on the period he played in.

If anyone wants to know more, why not read about him FROM ONE WHO SAW HIM PLAY .

Chapter 11 of "Beyond A Boundary" - GEORGE HEADLEY: NASCITUR NON FIT

I agree with Boqui.


In fact comparing eras is virtually impossible but his numbers are good.


In fact Brahman mainly played against England home and away.

I totally agree. Trying to prove this or that about Headley by selectively quoting numbers as some have sought to do is strange.

But then some have very obvious agendas.

Agenda ??? jeeezzz I love that stuff

what is your perceived agenda , bokes ?  :-\

Boqui,


Yes that is true but to have an average in the 60s in any era is an achievement.


The thing that could be questions, as there is a statistical logic, is how would his average have feared had he played more games.

seems like you DO have an agenda  !

we have talked many times about the prerequisite for Great .

minimum number of Games a main essential ingredient !!

But yet you continue the foolishness...


Lets agree that Headley is really a black caribbean Folkhero post Colonialism.
