Ok, their wicket-keeping takes are even worse.

Kimber had to keep reminding them that keeping is important and cricket started before 1990.

Qazi had Dhoni and Boucher 5th and 6th all time. Like wtf. Kimber was having a stroke.

Kimber did have a good point on Ames, he had a bigger gap for his batting than his peers than Gilly and he was truly the leader of the batsman keeper revolution, though he could also actually keep.

If I have to take a look at anyone besides Gilly and Knott, it would be Ames.

Yeah Kimber is really knowledgeable about early era cricketers. I learn quite a bit from this smart alec.

Yeah I am bothered that if you aren't at least somewhat familiar with cricket history you will weigh down these lists.

Like for greatest openers, Kimber picked Hobbs, then Hutton, like we would. The others picked guys like Hayden and G. Smith.

The guy in the middle is useless.

Please watch their Greatest All-Rounder List. Kimber makes some excellent points on folks we debate on.

I've watched the captaincy and greatest fielder lists. You especially wouldn't enjoy the Captain's one. But I enjoyed the general discussion.

I only watched the top 4 or so of the all rounder lists, will get to the remainder later, but especially liked the "not out bandit" label which he applied to a certain cricketer. 🤣

I saw the captains one. Frankly was another poor one aside from Jarrod. Like Steve Waugh? Seriously.

Hey, nobody denies that about Immie but he still got No.2. But then Kallis got called less of an athlete since he was only a begrudging AR.

I was half asleep while listening. Will give it another go tonight.

Have I ever rated Imran lower than that? The most I've said is that While I rated Imran the better all rounder, I rate Hadlee the better cricketer, and I could be wrong, but vaguely recall him saying something similar.

Begrudgingly or not, wasn't he still no. 3?

In any event, the other two hosts are like, but I'm enjoying listening to his views.

Also, he never called Flowers's keeping good. And in the wicketkeeper ratings he had him clearly behind Gilly's. Though I don't think he rates Gilly's very highly either. Well not compared to Taylor, Knott, Jayawardene and Healy.
