Thanks, I took them both myself

BTW, is that a vote for Keith?

 

[Johnners]

Arguably our two greatest allrounders, albeit, in a different fashion. Again, going for Gilly purely & simply because i've seen him play live.

Really tough. Gilchrist, I guess.

 

[aussie tragic]

Probably 2 of the top 3 in the final eight and they're first up.

Oh, well Miller.

btw, funny how 7 of the 8 are pretty recent players and 4 of them are in the current team.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Miller.

Disagree. I'd say the rest are just as good if not better than these two.

Your second point is correct though. These things have a tendency to be very moderncentric.

Remember the Englishmen? Grace, Ranji, Hobbs, Barnes in the semis.

Tbf, England hasn't had many great cricketers in the 'modern' era. Australia has. [/open up can of worms]

Remember the Englishmen? Grace, Ranji, Hobbs, Barnes in the semis.

His stats ( batting average of 32 with the bat & a ratio of less than 1 wicket per match) ae really as good to put him above Bradman as a batsman & above Imran,Botham & Miller as an allrounder.
