Battle of the Australians

[JBH001]

Alan Davidson for me - the finest left armer before Wasim (not that there are all that many to choose from!).

Btw, I do not know if this is too late but, can we put Don Tallon in for a filler?

On what grounds? His test career didn't last long and wasn't impressive, and yes I realize he got a late start.

My word, Test match bias. Bevan's not even in.

Davidson for me.

Davidson for me.

Oh my. How could I have forgotten Bev? I guess I was looking more at tests than ODIs. We could still put him in place of one the fillers if noone has any objections.

Ryder

 

[BoyBrumby]

Davidson for me. Shame he had such a rough trot of injuries, really.

 

[nightprowler10]

Good to see Ryder got atleast one vote.

 

[aussie]

Davidson arguably the best left-armer of all time along with Akram.

Yea Bevan should be there, swap Boofa for him.

 

[shortpitched713]

Davidson for me.

 

[Smudge]

No Wally Grout? Shocking IMO.

 

[Goughy]

Interesting that arguably one of the finest bowling talents Australia has ever produced didnt make the list, Bruce Reid.

Also very surprised that Terry Alderman could not make the list. Not to everyones taste but a good record and a special, special swing bowler.

I would also have liked to add a wild card or 2 when we were looking for fillers. Guys that may not have the greatest recoerds but were interesing and pioneering cricketers. Someone like Jack Iverson for example.

Anyway, its too late now and for this round, Davidson

 

[Slats4ever]

davidson. whack bevo in there and is slats in their?

 

[nightprowler10]

Well it seems like we may have missed a few good ones. I'll leave it up to aussie to decide which cricketers should stay in the list and which should be added. After all, its his battle, I'm just running it. Also, since this was just the first battle, we could re sort the list and start over.

 

[aussie]

No Wally Grout? Shocking IMO.

well with Gilchrist, Marsh, Healy & Oldfield already in i didn't see the need to pick him unfortunately.

 

[Smudge]

Despite being described by many great players as the finest keeper they saw?
