Rank these Aussie stalwarts as batsmen

[Silver Line]

Bradman, Punter and Smith being a league ahead, who comes next as Australia’s best? You can vote for two,

Far from a consensus. Many here (including myself), would put one or more of these batsmen ahead of him. For example, when CW voted for all time batsmen last year, it ended up being Chappell at 13, Ponting 14, Border 17 and Waugh 19.


Marnus especially and Usman to a degree can’t be compared accurately to these others due to their career stages.

 

[a massive zebra]

Ponting a league ahead of Chappell is not common consensus.

You also ignored all pre 1970s batsmen at the expense of a couple of modern randomers who have certainly not yet done enough to be ranked ahead of some pre 1970s greats such as Trumper, Hill, Macartney, Ponsford, Morris, Harvey, Simpson and Lawry.

Ponting > Chapell for sure. Ponting's first 12 years stomp on Chapell's whole career. Border Vs
Ponting is debatable.

Lol Border was worse than both Ponting and Chapell.

Labuschagne is steadily converging to Jimmy Adams level.

Waugh & border are australia's best.

 

[shortpitched713]

Hayden at the top of the group, over Chappell. The most underrated Aussie bat of all time, by far.

 

[Qlder]

Doug Walters and Neil Harvey are ahead of Clarke, Khawaja and Labuschagne

Yeah it's a curious collection. Clarke doesn't look too out of place though he's a definite step below the top of that list, but Khawaja hasn't been consistent enough across his whole career - even with his late career bloom - and Marnus has one Test hundred outside Australia. Very premature to be thinking about him at all in such company.

Is this like, an attempted multithread troll or just the worst take ever?
