CW Ranks Top 25 Batsmen of All Time (Version 2010)

[G.I.Joe]

Yeah but for the period WSC existed, the teams the players were in actually were their teams - they weren't bands of mercenaries. The idea wasn't to play a couple of games and then go back to other teams - they'd jumped ship entirely and it was their cricketing livelihood.

DWTA. They weren't playing for their countries any more than the players in the ICL India or ICL Pakistan teams were playing for theirs. They were playing for cold hard cash. And they knew it all right.

BTW guys, how about doing a top 25 all-rounders exercise?

Yeah. I agree. WSC should not be counted as tests.

Extremely sorry mate, miscalculation on my part. I overlooked Slifer's votes, it was unintensional. I hope somebody like you keeps a check on my calculations, any silly counting errors by me should not go unnoticed.

In any case, since it is a tie for the top spot, I shall edit my votes as usual:
Wally Hammond (3 Points)
Leonard Hutton (2 Points)
George Headley (1 Point)

I love Lara, btw
