? I voted for Smith

 

[Johan]

for Reference, I recently promoted Hammond over Viv, and Smith is over Hammond so

 

[PlayerComparisons]

I expect Smith to decline a bit more but even then he’ll probably be averaging 3-5 points more than Viv

Where is Viv Richards?

I never saw Viv live lol, I'm not a grandpa, my earliest memories are Ambrose and Lara.

 

[Johan]

Can I have your top 10 batsmen list?

Bradman, Hobbs, Hutton, Sachin, Sobers, Smith, Hammond, Lara, Sunny, Maybe Chappell or Viv but lots of contenders for this. Some of it is still under revision.

I have viv@4 and smith@6 in my top 10 batsmen list. Smith could be 2 if averages 56+ by time of retirement

 

[govinda indian fan]

Bradman, Hobbs, Hutton, Sachin, Sobers, Smith, Hammond, Lara, Sunny, Maybe Chappell or Viv

Being a viv fan how can you have him so low

I started watching cricket from Summer of 2007 ( india tour of england) and lara retired in march my biggest regret in cricket is i could never watch lara live

I just revised his career and deemed that it just isn't that impressive, people below him, like Denis Compton and Joe Root have works/series more impressive than anything Viv did, like Compton's heroics against the Invincibles after the second war or Root's 4 hundreds series against a great Indian attack including a Bumrah running rampage, while they're equipped with dukes with seamer friendly conditions and Root had the worst English batting since the second war with him. He's more complete than them, so above them, but like, not by any good margin.

Because it's his list, not yours.
