I'll go with Laker.

 

[Perm]

Jim Laker. Benaud is overrated as a spin bowler but underrated as a cricketer.

 

[Dasa]

Laker.

[BoyBrumby]

In bowling terms alone I have to go with Laker.

Would be ineteresting tho if they were two players playing nowadays. I'd bet Laker's average would be a few runs higher with the covered pitches & Benaud as a wristie might still have something similar.
