I'm voting for Jardine, btw.

 

[Tomm NCCC]

Ted Dexter, needs a vote

 

[BoyBrumby]

Tomm's vote is the clincher. Lord Ted ousts The Hammer of The Crims 9-8; a nation mourns.

Next up a clash that crictics of this thread's exciting, free-flowing, end-to-end, cup-tie format really aren't going to like at all. Fate saved the best for last, IMHO. The openers in England's celestial XI face up:

Battle of the Englishmen: Round1, Battle 16

Jack Hobbs
61 tests, 5410 runs @ 56.94 (15 centuries, 28 half-centuries), 1 wicket @ 165.00

vs

Herbert Sutcliffe
54 matches, 4555 runs @ 60.73 (16 centuries, 23 half-centuries)

[Magrat Garlick]

Hobbs, England best opener & arguably the best ever opener.

Hobbs.

 

[JBH001]

Jeez Brumby, you did save the toughest and the best for last.

<========================= (self explanatory)

Hobbs for me - the original Master, and perhaps the second best ever.

Sutcliffe, has higher average.

Hobbs

 

[Jono]

Sutcliffe is a bit stiff here, closer than most people think I reckon, so I'll give him a vote to make it interesting
