Battle of the Cricketers

Richards for the same reason as what Marc said.

 

[Moderator]

I have to go with Sachin Tendulkar He's got a better record than Richards against all teams and in all countries. Not to mention, he is also the most succesful ODI batter.

 

[Jono]

Its impossible for me to vote for Sachin, well almost. If it were just about any other player (bar the obvious Bradman and Sobers) I reckon I would have voted Sachin.

But Viv Richards for me. Really horrid match-up still relatively early in this comp.

 

[nick-o]

Viv Richards

Hard choice, but I never enjoyed watching Tendulkar as much as I enjoyed watching Sir Viv.

 

[The Baconator]

Viv, can't really say why, there's just something about him.

 

[Jamee999]

17-10 to Viv.

Benaud

 

[BoyBrumby]

Funny really, all the really stiff match-ups we've had & one of these two (no disrespect, but neither really from the top rank of players) will make the last 16.

I find it pretty hard to assess Richie as solely a player in exclusion from his other great contributions to this game of ours, because the man is a living legend. However, I think when one weighs up all aspects of his game he probably shades Da Silva.

Benaud.

Beanud

A legend for his commentating, but you don't realise how good he was if you think of him as just "a commentator"
