To score; 2 triples in test cricket, a double in ODI cricket and a century in T20 international…

Where does that rank him in terms of the most rounded batsman to ever play the game? He’s right at the very top on My list.

Don't forget to mention that one of those two triples was on tour.

He’s well loved all over the universe as well. He and Usain Bolt are not just close friends, their showmanship is also similar. Great great man he is..

Why is he rated as a 2nd class WI Test player?

The most underrated cricketer in the West Indies, despite his stats!

Despite being part of the exclusive double-triple club, where he rubs shoulders with the likes of Donald Bradman, Brian Charles Lara, and Virender Sehwag.

Out of those Fab Four, whose triples resulted in victories?? Serious question!

Most likely none of them, but we're talking about individual performances here, not teams.

other batsmen if white ball cricket was in their time could've done it too

Do you think Gayle was a better bat than Lloyd?

 
methodic 2024-07-21 15:09:18 

In reply to XDFIX

Lloyd is the most underrated in my opinion

Where did he say he was a great????????

 
natty_forever 2024-07-21 16:29:18 

Definitely better than Hooper!

 
bravos 2024-07-21 16:43:37 

Honestly much like Lara Gayle has never reached his full potential, this is the greatness of our people, unfairly criticised and scrutinized at every opportunity, unwittingly held at the highest standard, a true testament of their natural ability and class .

Did they entertain though ? !

That question doesn't sound right coming from you (of all people).

Apart from maybe Donald Trump, nobody really claims to be great. It's always left to others to bestow such a 'title' upon them.
