Tbf a very fine stance really

 

[Johan]

if it's Barry Richards then ok, if it's Viv Richards than No

 

[Prince EWS]

It's Gavaskar but that's because Chappell is #1.

 

[Coronis]

Ah see, I voted the other way around. The poll could easily have also been who is the greatest batsman of the 70’s

 

[Johan]

Top 3 for 70s goes like

Boycott: 3806 @ 55.97
Gavaskar: 5647 @ 55.91
Chappell: 4398 @ 52.98

Boycott: 3806 @ 55.97
Gavaskar: 5647 @ 55.91
Chappell: 4398 @ 52.98

70’s
16th highest runscorer, 2nd highest average (min 1000 runs) - Viv Richards - only played 6/10 years

10’s

13th highest runscorer, 3rd highest average (min 1000 runs) - Kumar Sangakkara - only played 6/10 years

eerie. (Voges ruins that being an almost 1 to 1 comparison)

how does what I posted have anything to do with Viv? He's a **** batter imo, not even better than Compton

Averages made me think of it, not a personal attack

 

[Johan]

ok, nothing personal, 70s a kinda funny era where every great bat is sub Fab 4 (bar maybe Kohli)

 

[Johan]

voted Chappell after a lot of thought.

I take it as an all out war then

ok ok, switched to Gavaskar, both mid batters and trash people so idrc

Trash people fine. As batters Sunny is defo closer to Viv than Greg

 

[Johan]

Trash people fine. As batters Sunny is defo closer to Viv than Greg

that's insulting, Viv is an overrated hack who couldn't counter fast spin or uneven bounce, being close to him is insulting. Viv is worse than Compton.

 

[Johan]

don't think Viv makes the top 10 batters from 70s/80s

 

[sayon basak]

Trash people fine.

Based.

Again, based on what?

Chappell's WSC performances were more transcendent in the 70's than anything Sunny did.

 

[kyear2]

Based.

Sunny was well below trash.
