[anil1405]

Who was a better test batsman?

Reminder for CW ATG opinion gaugers: subtract Border's vote count in this poll by 2. This is to account for not only the Burgey effect but also the vicious slaughter of Himannv's entire family by he-who-shall-not-be-named.

 

[subshakerz]

Border but it is close.

 

[Burgey]

If TOTAB got to play his home test matches at the SSC he would have averaged 375.40.

If TOTAB got to play his home test matches at the SSC he would have averaged 375.40.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts.

 

[Burgey]

Flattest deck in the world during the 2000s, and that's saying something,

 

[Himannv]

This was done before. Not much has changed - Border is still light years ahead of this hack.

Weren't they tailor made dust bowls for Muralitharan?

Also need to account for the Migara-effect

 

[Adorable Asshole]

No 5 vs No 3? Easy choice for me

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Sanga marginally better I think

more decks to Sri Lanka than one

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

ARG would love to have talk

Murali wasn’t even a threat against Australia, the best team of his era. Wish he could have bowled at both ends

 

[kyear2]

Re-evaluating a lot of my rankings and as great as AB was, and as easy as Sanga had it at home, and away to be frank, this one is close.

 

[Coronis]

(Sangakkara but its close)

You must have missed the matches payed in Sri Lanka.

Them I am not surprised.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

19 tons in wins for Sangakkara, 5 for Border.

Gotta go with the match winner.

 

[Johan]

Border is too mytholized, Sanga is not mytholized enough
