I'll go Lawry myself. I suspect, rather like Boycott & Barrington and to a lesser extent the later period SR Waugh, he was a rather better batter than his low-risk approach allowed himself to be.

As batsmen they are probably of a similar standard but my vote goes to Simpson for the reasons SJS stated.

Simpson

TT Boy · 19-09-2006, 05:00 PM

Simpson, if only for Lawry being one of the worst commentators around (GOT HIM!).

Simpson. Wow this is a bad matchup. I bet it will be Bradman vs. Warnie next.

IIRC wasn't Bradman removed as he was a guaranteed winner?

Lawry - gotta say I like his commentary, and the fact that he seems less blatantly pro-aussie than his cohorts in the commentary box, bar Greigy off course.
