People unironically give the likes of Sehwag and Hayden **** for their mediocre away records but then vote for Peter May. GTFO you hypocrites.

I vote Sehwag. Smashed huge doubles and triples against ATG level bowlers.

I tend to agree with the basic point here in most of the lists. I’m about as nostalgic an old git as it’s possible to be, but some of these bygone era players are getting a huge amount of kudos they don’t merit.
