A late rally from Kapil Dev here, but I think the headstart Michael Holding accumulated might be too much.

15-10 to Holding

[Barney Rubble]

Hammond, without question.

 

[Pratters]

mm I dont think Anwar was good enough to be included in the battle, with due respect to his fans.

Also vs Hammond there is obviously no competition. Start the next battle!

 

[Jamee999]

194*?

EDIT: Tarick, way to go in confusing me, saying Anwar over MSN then posting Hammond

 

[shankar]

Hammond

 

[Pratters]

194*?

Nothing to take away from that inning of Anwar or his performances over his career.

All I would say to that is great is a much rarer word and should be used less commonly than it is and it does not apply to Anwar as it does to some of the legends of the game.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Has to be Wally. Certainly one of the top (to be conservative) half dozen batters we've produced. Useful medium pacer too.

Where did I call Anwar a great?

Nah. You objected to my post saying he should not be included I thought when you referred to 194* and I believe the greats should be included in the battle generally.

Whatever.

64 best.

 

[Pratters]

64 best.

People can variate in views. Which is why there is this exciting battle going on. I think we agree there

 

[Jamee999]

Yeah, even if this one won't be close.

 

[The Baconator]

Hammond, I nominated him for a reason.

 

[Slifer]

Hammond as well. I always make room for this man whenever choosing Greatest XI sides.

 

[Dasa]

Hammond.
