    What would be a peer rating ranking?

    Sydney Barnes Everyone who played with or against him were convinced, “He was the Greatest Bowler there had ever been and the Greatest there ever will be”

    Who is cricket's greatest alpha character?

    Grace probably. Though I would have Syd Barnes up there with W.G. After leaving Australia, the team were crossing the Tasman Sea in a storm which had them "fearing for their lives". At one point, MacLaren was heard to say: "Well, there's one consolation. If we go down, that bugger Barnes will...

    What would an ATG game really look like?

    They are up there as well. Barnes is a top 10 where I don’t exactly know. His record is very great but it’s not Bradmanesque that bowling average is like 21 ish in modern times. Very great, arguably no.1 and definite top 10 but definitely not incomparable.

    What would an ATG game really look like?

    Disagree here. Love Barnes but Marshall, McGrath are definitely in the same tier.

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    A very fine read on Pancho. Laver is hailed by most at #4 and I don’t see ever see Pancho in the top 10 which is basically a travesty. Whenever the name of Richard Pancho Gonzalez comes up in these discussions, he is summarily dismissed for the same incredibly obtuse argument reflected by...

    Which players would be locks in every OTHER country’s ATG XI?

    Pancho Gonzales deserving of a mention. Djokovic is clearly the best player to ever live with Rafa, Roger trailing behind. Pancho > Laver imho arguably Rafa, Fed too. Would have Pancho 4th though in my list.

    Barnes definitely the Apex predator. First Guy picked every time imho.

    Sachin Tendulkar vs Malcolm Marshall

    Sobers is basically a lock as well and in a world where Bradman doesn’t exist, easily the Greatest cricketer to ever walk this planet. Kinda of like Ali but better imho.

    The ATG Teams General arguing/discussing thread

    South Africa aren’t beating Australia. They are good deal inferior in every aspect. Indies are most probably winning from time to time but Australia the better team by a reasonable enough margin.

    Sunil Gavaskar vs Graham Gooch

    Against pace maybe Gooch. But including spin, Gavaskar unquestionably.

    David Gower vs Virender Sehwag

    Gower has like 2 votes which is basically the sympathy votes. Ofc Sehwag is ahead, no comparison.

    David Gower vs Virender Sehwag

    Come on, Ganguly averages like 42. No Aussie would really claim about how someone like Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh would be a top 10 batsman or like Hobbs, Hutton if they played during that timeframe.
