Battle of the Cricketers

[The Baconator]

Trueman , England's first Freddie.

all aussies are voting for chappell and all brits are voting for truman....so much for objectivity...

 

[a massive zebra]

Trueman.

Obvious who's got the numbers too. I honestly can't believe that Chappell and Lillee, Australia's second greatest batsman and greatest genuine quick have both gone out in the first round.

 

[Jono]

Chappell's not done yet is he?

Anyway I'm voting Greg Chappell. Simply a brilliant batsman, and as Faaip said, has a genuine argument to being the best other than Bradman.

Hey! I voted for DKL over Sir Leonard Hutton!

No Aussies have voted for Frederick, I note.....

 

[Pratters]

Argggh just when we thought Australia vs England will finally end in 3 days!

13-7 to Trueman

ROUND ONE ----- ----- MATCHUP TWENTY-FIVE

New quarter by the way.

MA Holding (West Indies) (RHB, RF)

N Kapil Dev (India) (RHB, RFM)

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Michael Holding

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Kapil was a very good player, but Holding at his best was the most dangerous of all the great West Indies quicks of the 70s and 80s I think. Roberts might have carried the team at times and Marshall was more consistent, but Holding was just lethal on his day.

Michael Holding for me.

 

[The Baconator]

Toughie this one, but Holding edges ahead.

 

[godofcricket]

Holding

 

[Anil]

holding well ahead as a bowler, kapil miles ahead as a batsman....hmmm....i will have to give this to the rolls royce of fast bowlers, holding....

 

[marc71178]

Got to be Holding - IMO Kapil's position in the "big 4" of the 80s was the weakest.

 

[twctopcat]

Whispering Death Holding , i mean forget about cricket, that accent is so damn cool!

 

[age_master]

Holding

 

[Burpey]

Holding ... his commentary has won me over

 

[Anil]

not really, as an all-rounder, hadlee's position was the weakest....as a bowler, kapil was...

 

[nick-o]

Holding -- possibly my favorite cricketer of all I've seen.
