Len Hutton vs Ricky Ponting

[PlayerComparisons]

Two top 15 test batsmen

Hutton, probably not close.

 

[Johan]

Hutton, don't think it's particularly close in term of skillfulness.

Len Hutton is easily top 7/8.

I am guessing Hutton would be around 6-8 whereas Ponting would be around 10-12. Isn’t that close?

Ponting is 15th for me (I'm sure you're ignoring Headley and Pollock)

Post war I would have Len Hutton around 6-7 whereas Ricky Ponting would be like 10-12

Ok understandable (Pollock is a post war batter).

Wouldn't put Hutton above Lara or Viv. And would rate Pollock a bit higher.

 

[Johan]

Hutton over Lara but not Viv. Headley at 10 for me.

Where's Pollock? (And Ponting)

 

[Johan]

Where's Pollock? (And Ponting)

both top 20, Pollock I consider inferior to Headley but, perhaps not by much so 13-14

@capt_Luffy What in, and I cannot stress this enough, the ****?

Just think the gap between the top tier of players isn't that big.....

If it makes you feel good, would have voted close Tendulkar and Root as well, probably.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Most people think Lara and Ponting are close so not ridiculous to think Hutton and Ponting are close as well

 

[Coronis]

Was on the fence as to close vs not close. Probably due to not having a solid definition of it. I currently have Hutton 9th and (practically equal with 8th) Ponting 16th.

Happy to see Hutton and Hammond are respected here instead of other places
