Me too considering you didn't list Woakes.

Silly me!! How could I had forgotten Woakes of all people!?? He surely goes to the spot ahead of Grace.... His batting average in England for once is definitely higher than him.

Cool list. I’d have Hammond over Hutton and bump Boycott above Ranji and maybe May above Compton but thats it at the top lol

Punter at 7th????
PlayerComparisons
International Vice-Captain
I don’t see how that’s an unreasonable opinion. The guys above him are all ATG batsmen except maybe Trumper.
Where would you rank Cowper?

Cricketer Of The Year
53rd, just after Keith Stackpole.
The top 60 will be:
52. Keith Stackpole
53. Bob Cowper
54. Reggie Duff
55. Chris Rogers
56. Charlie Bannerman
57. Syd Gregory
58. Brian Booth
59. Darren Lehman
60. Graham Yallop

What do you mean by "Maybe Trumper"?? By all accounts he averaged 48 while batting in middle order and his reputation dwarfed all contemporaries..... If we are talking of real stardom in cricket, he I believe is one of Australia's Two Mega stars alongside Bradman.

I know, seemed kinda harsh even to me. But I have reasons individually to place each of Chappell, Trumper, Border and Waugh ahead.
Coronis

Not entirely crazy but yeah I personally don’t have Trumper up anywhere near that high.
I can definitely see arguments for rating Chappell/Ponting/Border/Waugh in a multitude of different orders.

Where would you place Trumper among Aussie batters?? I can definitely see arguments for Trumper to be with Hill, but I don't think placing him so high is unjustifiable really.....

And that's completely fine, probably majority shares your sentiment. I just feel Chappell's more rounded record, Trumper's legacy, Border's tenacity and Waugh's dependable nature; just places them a little ahead of Ponting.
