DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen Countdown Thread

[ataraxia]

Didn't realise Watson's average was so low.

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah I'd say Katich would fit the bill. Hussey and Hayden will be far up and Warner's strike rate would take him a bit up from Katich.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Anyone consider that it might be Adam Voges?

 

[ataraxia]

Actually maybe.

 

[mr_mister]

Martyn.

 

[h_hurricane]

I have feeling it will be Langer.

 

[ataraxia]

Both were turn of the century and maybe a bit too good. Langer an option still possibly.

 

[Gob]

Martyn.

Marto is top ten material tbh

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Marto is top ten material tbh

Good bat, not even top ten Australia though.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah but dat cover drive

 

[Burgey]

And I don’t mean the one he hit straight to the fielder off De Villiers either.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Marto is top ten material tbh

Should be number 1 tbh. Or at worst 2 behind vvs.

 

[Burgey]

**** I hope Laxman polls right up there in this. Loved that bloke

I can't wait to see where Sobers ends up. According to the ATG thread, people don't seem to accept him as an ATG top 6 because apparently his bowling has statistical deficiencies

#2 or #3 best batsman for me.

Brah way to misrepresent me

This makes no sense

 

[aussie tragic]

This makes no sense

I know, but go read the thread. Someone even suggested Hammond could pick up Sobers overs soshould be selected in top 6 ahead of him lol

 

[mr_mister]

This makes no sense

He's not good at comprehension

 

[OverratedSanity]

I'll try and predict what the top 25 will look like. Can't wait to see how wrong it is:

1) Bradman
2) Sobers
3) Smith
4) Lara
5) Viv
6) Hobbs
7) Hutton
8) Tendulkar
9) Sangakkara
10) Hammond
11) Ponting
12) Chappell
13) Sutcliffe
14) Barrington
15) Kallis
16) Headley
17) Gavaskar
18) de Villiers
19) Border
20) Waugh
21) Weekes
22) Younis
23) Chanderpaul
24) Dravid
25) Miandad

Kohli probably in the 26-30 range.

 

[mr_mister]

Surely Headley and Pollock must finish within a few places of each other based on their near identical career runs, average and tests played right?
