Battle of the Cricketers

[nick-o]

Gower for me -- an absolute joy to watch

Don't know about this "First to 10" rule. It favours whoever is online at the time, and timezones come into effect. The winner shouldn't be decided on who's the favourite of the select few online in the right period, it should be who's the favourite of those who access it during a certain, laid out, standard period.

Listen to vic. He's the resident battle expert.

Can we have some voter opinion

 

[Pothas]

Gower

 

[Blaze]

Cairns.. quite possibly my favourite cricketer ever. Who could ever forget that slower ball to Chris Read in 99.

 

[Swervy]

Gower

I think 24 hours per match up should give most of us a chance to vote. Might be a slow old game though ( a bit like Test Cricket).

But it would still be the real thing, then.

 

[Jamee999]

24 hours it is then.

3 hours left.

Time up

David Gower wins 12 votes to 4.


ROUND ONE ----- ----- MATCH UP TWO

AR Border(Australia) (LHB,SLA)

JB Hobbs (England) (RHB, RM)

HUGE Match Up, The Australian Skipper against one of the greatest ever batsman.

VOTE.

 

[Benny2k1]

Vote

Hobbs

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Jack Hobbs

 

[archie mac]

It's like the 3rd and 4th seeds clashing in the first round. Hobbs for me.

 

[chalky]

Border for mine transformed Australian cricket.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Have to go with The Master. That's no slur on Border, who was as dogged a batter as ever wore the baggy green, but Hobbs was a genuine giant of the game. 197 FC centuries says an awful lot.

Hobbs.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Obviously Hobbs. One of the cricketers of the century...
