The poll results show an overwhelming majority in Gilchrist voters.

How fortunate that you were around to point that out.

 

[Uppercut]

How fortunate that you were around to bring hordes of laughter to the world with your own unique brand of fantastically humourous smarm.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Admittedly in your case it probably did need pointing out.

Spot the Australian.

Spot the Australian.

I think it would be an oversimplification to note that he is speaking purely from bias, but rather a favouritism to the infallibility of the popular notion (something which I believe that a great majority of people do) which notes that Knight was not in the top tier of ODI batsmen. You can argue your case to death, but people will always be keen to go back to this notion and hence disagree with you, rather than your points.

 

[Faisal1985]

Gilly by far..................

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Get both in.

 

[honestbharani]

I would open with Lara and Tendulkar, tbh, if I have to choose someone apart from Gilly to do the wicket keeping.

11 years since and still feel the same. I guess I am consistent, at the very least.

Tbf so is Ashwin outside Asia

 

[harsh.ag]

Gilly
Tendulkar
Viv
Kohli
ABdV
Dhoni
Klusener

Gilly keeps to Wasim, McGrath and Klusener. Dhoni keeps to Warne, Murali, and Tendulkar/Viv.

[Burgey]

No team with Al Haksan in it can achieve true greatness. It's like having two or more Victorians in the Australian test side. It doesn't work at all. ever. He's the 6'0" 12 year old freak playing with 4'10" regulars for the Bangers, and that's why he stands out. Otherwise wouldn't bat an eye at him. decent 2019 WC tbf, but overall, prefer about 147 others.

Jayasuriya is a weird choice when you have plenty of other bowling options

Gilchrist as a specialist bat would be easily superior (as would several others)
