Hazare's most productive domestic season was in 1943-44 when he scored 1,423 runs. He made scores of 248, 59, 309, 101, 223 and 87, reaching 1,000 runs in only four matches.

Hah, thats ridiculous.

I find that information hard to believe.

Anyway Vengsarkar for me.

 

[grecian]

Hazare, good F-C record with the ball too, and got Bradman out twice.

Hard to believe in what way, as in accuracy? Thats a matter of historical record, you can look it up. Or do you mean hard to believe as in 'wow!'?

Check the second link SS.

Miandad for me.

 

[silentstriker]

Check the second link SS.

Miandad for me.

Thanks. Fixed.

 

[FRAZ]

Considering the opponents plus almost single handedly leading the batting with example in the 1992 world cup plus having a superb record in those conditions and being the 2nd best (first one IMHO Hanif Mohammad) batsman that the country ever produced , it surely and most deservingly
Javed Miandad and no doubts in this selection at all

Miandad

 

[Fusion]

The feisty Miandad. It's a shame that it looks like he won't make the All-Time XI poll currently running.

 

[Sanz]

Thanks. Fixed.

I think Mahela's figures are wrong. His Avg. is < 50 and no. of 50s is 29 not 59.

Bleh had his strike rate as his average.
