Who is the better test Batsman?

Really think Gayle is a bit underrated in tests.

I think depends on how much you value home v away performance

Then why Haynes? Don't you give away performance the slight edge? (45-55 iirc)

I do but Haynes outbatted Greenidge and Viv at home in the 80s. He has a 16 run edge on Gayle at home. I can honestly go either way.

 

[kyear2]

Why?

Becuse I watched them both.

Is Haynes closer to Greenidge than Gayle in your opinion?

Not close, but yeah, closer.

Neither Haynes not Gayle makes my AT WI.team.

Generally I go Worrell, if not him then Fredericks then Hunte in the order.

Both are good

Would you say that Haynes is ODI is better than Gayle in T20?

well Gayle is considered the T20 GOAT so probably not

 

[Silver Silva]

Gayle, it's harder to perform in a struggling team.

I should use this for Root arguments

That wouldn't be a bad argument tbh. A player definitely deserves more praise if he performs in a weaker side.

especially if you're an English player coming in at 30-3 your whole career tbh

Look I am with you for Root>Ponting, but it's an overstatement if one ever existed.
