[capt_Luffy]

Who is spreading such farce!???

Very far ahead in the speculation territory..... He did have Khan Mohammad, a quality pacer.

Poor man ran into Conrad Hunte and Sobers on that poor day, and surely Pakistani pitches in 50s weren't very bowler friendly

Much more than they are now atleast. Mahmood was a very good bowler, but I don't think he was greater than Wes Hall or John Snow or Peter Pollock.

It's a mixed record for Gavaskar frankly. But I may end up having him in my ATG XI anyways as I have doubts over Hobbs and don't want to be generous to include Barry.

Don't want to be, ahhh.

Lol.

 

[Johan]

someone should make Hammond vs Gavaskar

@sayon basak dew it

Honestly I expected more centuries vs Lindwall/Miller

Against Australia in 1953 he made runs vs Lindwall, Miller, Johnston, Benaud and a young Alan Davidson. That's good enough for me. In 50/51 it was Miller, Lindwall and Bill Johnston. That's also a class attack.

I meant that I was kinda shocked he scored only 2 centuries vs them, but the matches he played vs Australia had quite a good attack.

what's the gap between Gavaskar and Sutcliffe and in what direction?

Small but clear in Gavaskar's.

Yeah I view them as mostly equal but might go Gavaskar

I have no trouble with anyone ranking Sutcliffe, Hutton or Gavaskar in any order. I rank them consecutively. Quite close imo.

Yeah makes sense. Do you rank Hammond ahead of them?

Two 100s yes but as a opener I'm quite happy with his overall output of runs in general: 500+ runs at 89 in Australia in 50/51 and 400+ runs at 55 in 1953. That's outstanding!!!

Yeah Iirc you've Hammond above this tier too, most everyone agrees Hobbs is a level above these 4 but it's Hammond whose the most interesting to me because in his career he struggled quite a bit with the strong pacers of his era (Windies) but again, has centuries against Larwood in FC.

I personally go Hobbs > Hutton > Hammond > Gavaskar/Sutcliffe but am not really sure about the last three.

Hutton has the perfect record, there isn't even a dot of doubt on Hutton's record for me, like it's actually a ridiculously perfect record.

 

[Johan]

Hutton might be > Viv tbh
