Round 2: Battle 1

Shane Warne

VS

Neil Harvey

VS

Jack Gregory

 

[sanga1337]

Warnie

 

[NUFAN]

Shane Warne. Not too hard a choice, although anyone making the second round is damn good.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Shane Warne just over Harvey

 

[Ikki]

Shane Warne.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Feels like it should be a harder decision in the second round, but it has to be Warne for me. More a reflection on what a champ he is/was than any disrespect to two very fine players tho.

 

[Perm]

Shane Warne

 

[pasag]

Two of the greatest Vic Test cricketers but it has to be Warne.

Completely agree - two legends of the stature of Harvey and Gregory shouldn't be so easily dismissed, but there's only one way to vote here.

Warnie.

 

[nightprowler10]

Should've probably ended this slaughter yesterday. I promise the battles are going to be a bit tougher from here on in.

Round 2: Battle 2

Ray Lindwall vs Greg Chappell vs Matthew Hayden

Ray Lindwall

VS

Greg Chappell

VS

Matthew Hayden

 

[sanga1337]

Lindwall, just.

 

[Ikki]

Completely agree - two legends of the stature of Harvey and Gregory shouldn't be so easily dismissed, but there's only one way to vote here.

Warnie.

Especially Harvey who ranks alongside guys like Ponting and Chappell.

 

[pasag]

Nice round, Chappell, just.

 

[Ikki]

Wow, very tough. But Chappell it has to be. Very underrated amongst the 2nd tier of batsmen after Bradman.

 

[The Sean]

Ouch, what a contest.

Chappell by a fraction over Lindwall. Haydos not disgraced in this company, but still clearly third.

 

[Perm]

Greg Chappell, possibly Australia's second greatest batsman.
