Sobers thinks Gavaskar is better than Sachin, Lara, Viv and Himself. ( best batsmen he has seen )

Not better than Sathasivam though. And like, he also thought Gupte was better than Warne.

Sunil Gavaskar was a perfect old school opener who could take shine off new ball with a rock solid technique so he was probably impressed by him.

Tbh, some of Sobers' takes are worse than yours, I'll give you that.

Very much agree, and coincidentally my top 4 All Time as well.
We can quibble about the order.

There were 100 votes, Don got a 100, Sobers 90, Ater that as you know, there was massive drop off.
The votes there after we're largely political and skewed heavily by the amount of voters for each country.
The rest of the top 5, were obviously Hobbs (30), Warne (27) and Richards (25)
England had 28 voters, Australia 20, South Africa 11, West Indies 11, India 10, New Zealand and Pakistan 8.

Sobers didn't play Gavaskar so we shouldn't really care.

Yes he did

He is, hence the quibble about the order. But they're still the guys that makes up my top 4.

He played against him in the 1971 tour when Gavaskar made a billion runs

Warne is one of the two post-war great spinners
Sunny is one of the two post-war great openers

He did. He also captained him in the ROW series in Aus in 71/72 when Gavaskar did nothing, as he always did against full strength Australian attacks.

I was actually thinking of Len Hutton.

You meant for in a 3 match series except in which he scored 70 in the 2nd innings, was Given a laughably poor lbw which he would had survived in Pakistan and India still successfully completed the chase to draw the series??? RoW was also his very 3rd series and he did scored 50s in both the last two matches.
