Surely Sehwag can't be still in the mix at this late stage, with all the great names elminiated.....can he? Jeez

Why not? Because you don't rate him as highly? What's even the point of running the thing then?

Settle mate, I didn't say it shouldn't be amended if it was a mistake, just saying I'm genuinely surprised if he's still in the mix. And FTR I do rate him, just not at the level of the batsmen remaining at this point...

Hobbs
Hammond
Sobers

This for me as well

 

[Burgey]

Hobbs
Hammond
Sobers

Yeah this. And it's almost scandalous Hutton misses out. I know he's dead and doesn't care, but this is my opinion and not some other idiot's, so it counts.

 

[Zinzan]

Difficult ripping the 3 Hs apart, but yeah had to be Hutton out of that lot to.

Hobbs, Hutton and Sobers.

If Hutton goes out you're leaving the greatest opener of all time out for the sake of about 8 middle order players.
