CW's Ranking of Batsmen (Tests)

[The Sean]

Ha ha yep, it was Harvey at 34 and everyone from Worrell onwards has to move down a spot. So Sehwag was actually number 40, and we're now voting for 41.

 

[Nikhil99.99]

Stan McCabe hasn’t been voted till now.Has got to be him.

Ok that makes sense.

Change my vote for 41 from Harvey to Greenidge

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Didn’t Neil Harvey made the list?

Lol

 

[Nikhil99.99]

Is Stan McCabe not being noticed?Or is he being ignored?Chanderpaul should have made the list Imo.

 

[ankitj]

Only 1 player between Kohli and Sehwag. That's bit unfair but also shows how much Kohli's stock has dipped.

Didn’t Neil Harvey made the list?

My bad, not sure how that happened lmao. Fixed

 

[HookShot]

Overall average 47. Rubbish against NZ but averages 50 against Australia, and 47 against Lillee n' Thomo circa 1975-76.

Also good against India (average 59); so that's pace and spin both covered. Attacking batsman, nice bloke, great captain, what's not to like?


Clive Lloyd

Greenidge

I'm torn now - if Smith and Sehwag have been voted in then there's no reason Hayden shouldn't be immediately. On the hand, Peter May probably deserves to have gotten in by now too, and at a personal level I really want Stan McCabe!

Then again, any of the other names mentioned - Chanderpaul, Inzi, Lloyd, Crowe, Greenidge - would all be worthy picks as well.

We're pretty much at the spot now where we could throw a bunch of names into a hat, draw them out in any order, and the list wouldn't look too bad.

 

[OverratedSanity]

I was voting for inzi ages ago but no one seemed to join in. Underrated imo.

 

[CricAddict]

I was voting for inzi ages ago but no one seemed to join in. Underrated imo.

Inzi is a terrific player. I will vote for him once Hayden gets in.

 

[kyear2]

Clive Lloyd

 

[trundler]

Peter May getting ahead of Chanderpaul and Inzi would nullify the list more than it has been already.

 

[mr_mister]

Peter May was class
Inzy was a fat ass

 

[h_hurricane]

May is undeniably hot.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Peter May was class
Inzy was a fat ass

Inzi was cute

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Chanderpaul was greedy,
Hayden a bully,
Morris - who knows?
Martin best of the Crowes,
Clive Lloyd a big cat,
Inzi was fat,
Greenidge had presence,
and May could sure play.
