Sunil Gavaskar vs Wally Hammond

[OverratedSanity]

Wally is a stupid name

 

[Prince EWS]

"Best opener since Gavaskar" might actually be a good poll. I'd probably vote for Smith but I can see the argument for Boycott. Terrible posters would vote for players like Hayden and Cook too.

 

[Burgey]

Boycott?

Yeah, he played for England from the 60s to the 80s then became a commentator. Retired as the highest run scorer in tests. I'd have thought you would have heard of him

Be a difficult argument for Boycott to win seeing as he daybooed seven years before Sunny.

I was suggesting him as being as good as Gavaskar haha. I entered my post at the same time so didn’t see yours

Haha yeah true, got myself internally confused with Teja's 1955 thing.

So is Sunny by the same logic.

His grandmother was even better. You should've seen her batting with a stick of rhubarb.

 

[ankitj]

Wally is a stupid name

It's like Kaam Wally

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

W.R Hammond,easy one.
Just wish he didn’t comeback at the age of 43 to ruin his reputation by a bit to face Lindwall and Miller.

 

[DriveClub]

I would've voted for hammond if his name was willy

 

[Burgey]

If Hammond played today his nickname would be “The Organ” and I reckon he would be pretty happy with that

 

[capt_Luffy]

Gavaskar only due to his record against West Indies; including that crazy ass pace line-up. It's pretty tricky as Hammond really had no competitor except Australia.

 

[kyear2]

I've always felt like both were slightly over rated and neither's record were without their caveats.

 

[sayon basak]

It's close. Gavaskar just.

 

[Johan]

Gavaskar more skillfull, Hammond more dominant
