Sunil Gavaskar vs Wally Hammond

[capt_Luffy]

Obviously not, Sunny is a loudmouth but Border is an actually terrible person.

didn't you just say in another thread that Border might be above Hammond

I said he has some arguments.

And I mostly was just taking a ****

Surprised that Geoffrey has a good record against ATGs

Why are you so surprised? Boycott is an all time great and the second best opener in the last 70 years.

Just one.

So I have a genuine question to this.

Why does 4 of the 6 great fast bowlers of the '70's (Snow * Willis * Lillee * Procter) all rate Barry over Sunny?
The 5th, Holding called him a fair weather something, can't recall.

Not in any way saying Sunny isn't ATG, but he certainly can't be the only one.

And how do you account for Sunny's rating with these guys?

Weren't you just lecturing me that you don't need to defend one player by tearing down another player?

You are literally doing that with Sunny.
