Carl Hooper and Ramnaresh Sarwan beautiful batting vs India 2001 

I remember reading that, when Lara was captain, he dropped sarwan due to fitness issues. Sarwan had a lot of talent, but he wasn't as hardworking as chanderpaul or Lara.

When someone plants their front foot like that, they’re a prime lbw candidate. What % of Sarwan’s dismissals were lbw?

also remembered the trashing west indies gave to us in that series

I don't entirely agree. Neither of them fully did justice to their talent. Hooper was too careless. And sarwan didn't prioritise fitness enough.

@ramsey robert Carl Hooper was a very good all rounder. He averaged 35 in both batting and bowling in test. He was a very good economical bowler. One of the greatest fielders ever while sarwan averaged above 40 in odis which I think is enough to consider them more than good cricketers😉😉

............ although Sarwan was not as bad as Hooper was, the latter was all class, but no runs to support the class

Hooper underperformed at test level...for someone of his talents, he should've matched Lara! Sarwan was an interesting one. Had a good test average but, when I watched him bat, I never felt assured that he was in control (like watching Shiv, Lara, Viv, Dessie, CGG and even the likes of Jimmy Adams' when he was in form).

Imagine calling Hooper mediocre. Goodness me.

@@smileyparto He had concentration issues but certainly nowhere near mediocre

... Who averaged 36 over a 102 Test Match career. Genius is a bit strong, when stacked up against Richards, Lara, Greenidge and Chanderpaul! 🤣🤣

His talent was never utilised well.

@@arunsadasivan1738 Ah! Now I see what you mean. Ian Bishop was another, albeit as a bowler. In his case it his case it was injuries.

Don’t score runs in test cricket though..

Yes lara and gayle are overrated..chanders and sarwan are underrated

Stupid much? Sarwan never won a match for the West Indies singlehandedly like Lara.

Do they have superior or even similar stats to Lara?

I know you racist Indian don't think a black man is a better batsman than any Indian or Indian decent but Gayle and Lara are far better than Chanderpaul and Sarwan.

Are you really serious man?

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Geoff boycott

What you expect from boycott?

Yes beautiful batting geoff boycott never like the West Indies so he will never say anything good about us West Indians

Vishnu Teja , Politics I guess, he was a good cricketer.

@@AudmanetTV 24

Vishnu Teju. Bangar was mediocre at best. Dont know why you're over exaggerating him...

@@docgun5019 - agreed. Outside of India, on the flat wickets, he struggled. When he came to England in 2002, he played one good innings at Headingley but that was it.

If u understand test cricket u would understand

Govana Blaxx I made that comment two years ago, so in response to your comment I watched again today. This is not beautiful test batting. Edging through the slips, edging past the stumps is beautiful batting?? There are a couple of nice shots as well but I could scan RU-vid right now and find many better examples of beautiful batting from Hooper. He was a class batsman, elegance personified. I’ve watched so much test cricket over 45 years on TV and live in England, Barbados and Sri Lanka) I just don’t agree with the title of this video,

This is beautiful batting.

S 👍😂
