Ahh nice. I like the odd cross-era comparison. More of a challenge!
Not much in it but went with Everton for the destructiveness and rate of big hundreds.

 

[Everton Seymour]

Was actually named after Weekes a brilliant batsman probably the best of the 3 W's .

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Dravid on longevity plus better away record.

Just proves that u r the best in the game doesn't mean u know everything. Weekes was a minnow basher and flat track bully. His record in Eng and Aus is bad.

I tend to rate the Ws higher than most modern greats though.

Yeah I’m probably a bit biased to each of them. Love WI and the Ws cultural icons as well as entertaining players.

Even if you shave off 10% of Weekes’ average, he still averages more than Dravid.
