Finally an easy choice. Bradman comfortably but it will be interesting to see who gets the other batting spots.

Voted for Sobers just to buck the trend lol.

WTF is Sobers doing as a number three option anyway? I always thought he was a number 6.

 

[Matt79]

Brian Lara.



Just kidding...

 

[age_master]

Hmmm... Bradman

I include all the players who could bat in the middle order for all three spots (3, 4, 5) to give them an equal chance of making the side. Sobers will also be included in the allrounder poll (6).

Trend failed to be bucked.

Voted for Bradman myself, no real competition.

OMG this is a tough one! I'd like to play devil's advocate but it has to be Bradman (Sobers battled lower down for a lot of his career, as did Sachin and Lara)

 

[Burgey]

Stop the fight....

 

[silentstriker]

IMO, it's a disgrace it's not 100%.

Just to add a little spice

Would anyone change their vote if they knew the match was to be played on a wet pitch

Bradman by a country mile.

So whats the difference between a mile and a country mile? I think you're being discrimminating against the mile TBH.

The country mile has less teeth and more sisters/lovers.
