As much as i rate Hutton there is something about Gavaskar and his record against the windies that wins it for me. Gavaskar for me.

Think I'll have to go with Sir Leonard too. Gavaskar may've scored more runs, but Hutton had six years taken out of his peak due to WW2 & a injury sustained in service left him with a left arm 2" shorter than his right. I think it's reasonable to assume this must've hindered him somewhat.

Gavaskar.

To play that many Tests back in that era (when lets face it, you don't get 12 or more games every year) and still maintain an average of that level is an extremely good achievement.
