the initial statement to which I said Windies would win was specifically "if you take out the Don."

I missed that then. Hmmm..... It's close but probs WI then.

Aussies have a Bradman

Doesn't matter.

With or without him, Australia to struggle.

Didn't played long enough personally

Lindwall had circumstances (a.k.a, WWII). He debuted at 25 and still played for 14 years (same as Trueman)

 

[centurymaker]

We needed a poll.... bad omission.

 

[Johan]

hmmm, I wonder who the most underrated bowler on Cricketweb is? It's obvious who the most underrated Batsmen on Cricketweb is, bowler discussion would be funner.

Yes. I would go Trumper and ...... Sheesh, it's tough.

 

[kyear2]

Would Bradman ever have experienced such "pace like fire" though? Still reckon that would be the difference in a comfortable WI win

Yeah

 

[Johan]

Yes. I would go Trumper and ...... Sheesh, it's tough.

most underrated Batsmen on CW is Viv followed by Trumper, most underrated bowler on CW is probably Grum

 

[centurymaker]

Anderson is underrated.
Murali is underrated.

 

[Coronis]

Trumper
Simpson
Smith
Chappell
Border*
Waugh
Gilchrist+
Lindwall
Warne
Lillee
McGrath

I get the whole Lillee thing that I don’t agree with and I know your love for Trumper.

Your dislike of Ponting is well known, but even say if you rate Waugh above him (I’m assuming you don’t have him SUPER far ahead as that would be a whole other discussion, I find it hard to reconcile with Waugh over Ponting here.

Waugh, love him or hate him, is basically just a worse Border imo, feels redundant to have both. Think Ponting fits the middle order much better.

Then in the middle order you’ve got a dominant home player (and specialist number three, like really you’re batting Smith out of position?!), two players who are excellent home and away and the great away batsman who can hold down an end while Gilly churns out a quick ton. Just my thoughts tho.
