Battle of the Cricketers

[Buddhmaster]

Has anyone here seen Hobbs play?

 

[Barney Rubble]

If in doubt, don't vote for the Australian - Hobbs, although they're both legends.

 

[Shounak]

Hobbs..

 

[twctopcat]

Despite Hobbs record, Steve Waugh is the epitome of a good test batsmen for me and one of my all time greats.

Steve Waugh.

Has anyone here seen Hobbs play?

Has anyone here seen Bradman play?

I think the answer to that is yes!! But i see your point for sure. No one has exactly seen SF Barnes much either, but that doesn't matter!

Bradman's last test was in '48, IIRC.

Now, if you were still alive today, the minimum age you could be is 57.

But, you would not remember the playing, if you were 0.

If we add 10 onto that, the very minimum age you could realisticly be is 67.

You would also have had to have been in the right place at the right time.

Unlikely, to be on CW IMO.

I didn't mean live.

 

[chaminda_00]

Waugh, i think when you add together his fielding, captaincy and early days bowling he comes out just infront of Hobbs IMO

 

[Tom Halsey]

Hobbs.

 

[shankar]

Waugh

15-12 to Hobbs!

ROUND OF SIXTEEN ----- ----- BATTLE TWO


GS Sobers (West Indies) (LHB,LFM/SLA/SLC)

MD Marshall (West Indies) (RHB, RFM)

 

[Tom Halsey]

Sobers, Marshall unlucky with the draw.

 

[Anil]

sobers

 

[Slifer]

Marshall (Pity vote)

 

[Pothas]

sobers

 

[sledger]

despite the fact that i think malcolm marshall was a wonderful truly wonderful player and a hampshire legend the vote still has to go to sobers...

Sobers

 

[marc71178]

Sobers.

Another horrible draw gets rid of one of the top pacemen ever.

 

[a massive zebra]

Ouch.

Marshall was probably the greatest of all fast bowlers and deserves more than a couple of votes.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Has to be Sir Garfield, I'm afraid. Marshall was one of the best ever tho. Tragic loss at such an early age.

Sobers
