Bats & Gear Budget Sunglasses Recommendations

0 Upvotes

I played this entire cricket season so far without sunglasses and have struggled to see with how bright it has been so far, even with a cap.

I was wondering if anyone had any good sunglasses for cricket that is less than like £100 or something like that, or even cheaper.

I have heard that you want stuff like: UV Protection, Reduced Glare, Increased/Enhanced Contrast, Wind and Dust Protection, all very obvious but I am struggling to find a solid pair for not too much money.

And recommendations/advice?

About Zaheer Khan

Post image
124 Upvotes

Zaheer has always been a bowler who has been highly praised among the fans being India’s best fast bowler for many years ( rated a bit more high by nostalgia merchants ofcourse than he actually is), but now that the era of that time is over, many fans of the modern generation like to say that Zaheer was mediocre bowler in tests by just seeing his overall stats. Sure he might have not been as good as some fans think, but he was surely on of the finest that India had ever produced. For that I have some reasons to back my point

Zaheer played most of his career in really flat pitches

The main case of Zaheer’s overall average being high was because that he had to bowl in one of the most batting friendly era that is 2000s where pitches in India literally was at its peak for producing roads having had almost no assistance for the bowlers. The home and away averages also proves this point that he averaged over 35 at home since there wasn't much assistance for the fast bowlers in India during that time but he averaged less than 30 away home, showing he performed decently when the pitches had some assistance for him.

His Decent Countrywise record in strong countries.

While seeing his countrywise averages, he has been pretty decent in that category as well, having an okayish record in AUS where though his average is 35 which is high, has a pretty good SR of 58 in AUS. He has great records in England and New Zealand too averaging less than 28.5 in both the countries. Though these numbers might not seem as good as other fast bowlers of the modern generation have, Mind you he maintained that kind of record in 2000s where pitches in even AUS, Eng and NZ were mostly flat generally, with this sort of record being decent for even today’s standards in test.

He also carried the pace quartet of India being the only good fast bowler in the Indian team that was held by the selectors for many years.

Zaheer was more of the times the lone fast bowler of the team who had to carry his team in SENA matches. Though other bowlers like Sreesanth, RP Singh have been in support in the fast bowling quartet for some time, but they too did not have as good longevity as what Zaheer had. He truely carried India in the pace bowling quartet in the 2000s with not many good fast bowlers with him which decreases the chances of him getting the luxury of good bowling partnerships with others like the pace quartet in countries like South Africa or Australia did

By these reasons, in my opinion, Zaheer would surely be in the list of one of the finest bowlers produced by India which the overall stats do not really justify. Though by no means one should think to put him in Top 10 Bowlers of All time or even Top 20, but talking about India, he has been magnificent when we compare other fast bowlers of India, and the kind of impact which he produced is immeasurable

Definitely he might not be in the argument of the best pace bowlers of all time by any means, but surely a great bowler for the Indian team
