Wow. It's all coming my way finally.

1) RT Ponting
2) E de C Weekes

Pretty hard just to perm one of the three "Ws", but Weekes has the best record and (from what I've read) was perhaps the most inventive of the three maestros; quick on his feet and a wonderful hooker with a fine late cut too.

Miandad
Weekes

Again.

 

[BoyBrumby]

1) E de C Weekes
2) RG Pollock

Graeme had a very fine test career, but one that, like so many of his countrymen of that era, was truncated. His average is behind only DGB in batsman with over 2000 runs still, so must be due to go in soon.

 

[Athlai]

Here's your vote:

1. Trumper
2. Pollock

This.

 

[NUFAN]

Everton Weekes
Javed Miandad - wasn't too far off Chappell IMO who was ranked 9th!
