Graham Thorpe vs Adam Gilchrist

[PlayerComparisons]

Two very good batsmen

 

[Jumno]

Difficult, haven't decided.

Thorpe was a useful, gritty middle order batsman who could anchor.

Gilchrist, a pure batsman too and who could easily take the game away.

Tough choice

I have already posted this poll earlier. Gilchrist won handsomely

As he should have. fmd

Unreal disrespect to thorpe. Gilchrist was a walking wicket against half decent lateral movement. Wouldn't have averaged anything above 40 in the 90s. Massively overrated test bat if anything

Gilchrist vs Warner might be a good comparison

 

[shortpitched713]

Gilchrist is way better.

Look at that strike rate.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Thorpe never had Gilchrist's cushion. Damn fine batsman in his own right, have all the time in the world for him.

 

[Jumno]

Thorpe was a nitty, gritty, anchor role batsman.

What is the problem with this forum ?
Same poll contrasting results

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Revisionist history

 

[Aidan11]

Still Thorpe.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Gilchrist easily

Anti strike rate movement at work

Neither did Thorpe tbf. Sub 40 average at the turn of the millennium. Really brought it back in the noughties. Then again, the noughties was when Gilchrist played so think it's close.
