Best english batsman ever

[jaideep]

Who is the best ?

 

[zaremba]

Tough between Hobbs and Hammond. Voted for Hammond.

Might be worth adding WG to the poll

 

[Faisal1985]

KP

 

[jaideep]

How can i add a few more options?

Stick a list in here of what you want adding and I'll put them in.

 

[jaideep]

Add WG grace,barrington,pietersen.

 

[Migara]

Ken Barrington criminally omitted

 

[fredfertang]

Peter May deserves to be in the poll - although I'd still have voted for Hammond

 

[Woodster]

Got to have Goochie in there aswell!

 

[GIMH]

Ian Bell

 

[Maximus0723]

Hutton.

 

[Burgey]

Hutton, Hammond or May I'd think. Then Grace and Barrington a smidgeon behind, maybe with Boycott there as well. They're all greats though.

No one who debuted post-1970 really any chance here, much as I loved watching Gower play, and admired Gooch too.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Gooch for me. Shame about the rebel tour baggage that comes with him though.

 

[BoyBrumby]

As a man of Cambs one's obliged to go for The Master.

 

[KingViv]

Voted for Hutton, but he is always closely followed by Hobbs in my book.

No Denis Compton?!?! Clear #4 for me after Hammond, although if you put Grace there I wouldn't argue.

 

[Athlai]

lol why the heck is Pietersen there. Had to vote for him.

 

[Flem274*]

Hobbs.

 

[robelinda]

Hutton or Hobbs for me.

 

[morgieb]

Has to be Hobbs really, arguably the 2nd best batsman ever for my money.

 

[_Ed_]

Hobbs just ahead of Hammond for me.
