Chris Gayle vs Desmond Haynes (Test and ODI cricket)

[ma1978]

Who do you rate more?

I would have thought it’s a no brainier for Haynes. Now I am not so sure

 

[Line and Length]

You were right first time.

 

[Howe_zat]

Haynes doesn’t really have anything over Gayle except being part of a better team

 

[honestbharani]

Gayle being under rated in tests and ODIs coz he was the Universe Boss in T20s is such an odd thing that has crept up across the game.

 

[Slifer]

Gayle in tests easily. Haynes probably in ODIs

 

[ma1978]

Yeah - dude played 100+ tests, scored in all conditions and has two triples.

Just had a look at Chris Gayle's overseas record in tests, he has mighty impressive stats.

Aus - 50
Eng - 37
SA - 55
Nz - 68
Pakistan - 36
Sri Lanka - 42

I don't think even Haynes has such a fine record overseas

Haynes is a notorious HTB. Would get no where close to my WI ATG:

Greenidge
Hunte
Gayle
Stollmeyer
Frederick's
Haynes

That's my ranking among wi openers
