DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

Hammond is awesome though. To have been rated this well inspite of having the misfortune to be Bradman's contemporary is amazing. And there is his bowling too.

One of the rankings in this list which I was surprised and a bit disappointed in was Aravinda. It shows how you have the natural tendency to rate blokes higher who you've seen play well, because there's a lot of fellas above him on that list who I've seen who are all fine players, but who I would put him above.

VVS was about 60 spots too low imo

Averages are not calculated percentages. They don't have an upper limit.

Thanks.

Shocked really at two of the recent 3. Hutton a chance for beating Sobers I think.

One reckons incorrectly, as is one’s wont.

One longs for the days when Burgey's posts were not reminding one of Ranjit Fernando's commentary.
