#4 Kapil Dev vs Richard Hadlee
Dev and Hadlee played in nine tests against one another. Hadlee, as was the case with Botham, is clearly a better bowler than Kapil, perhaps because six out of the nine matches were played in New Zealand where Hadlee could exploit the home advantage.
The batting records of the two all-rounders have nothing much between them. Although on the lower end of the spectrum, Hadlee nevertheless had a slightly better average than Kapil (18.6 vs 14.5) and passed fifty once (87 at Auckland in 1989-90) where Kapil failed to pass that landmark even once.
