I reckon you will struggle to find a better bat than Inzamam.
Maybe we could make a team of tubbies.

Grace better than Inzy, surely.

Remember reading somewhere that Grace wasn't that plump in his pomp.
David Boon?
Yeah, true enough. He was still pretty gun even when he was a fat **** though, so he qualifies IMO.Originally Posted by Daemon

Yeah, people forget that most of his fame was earned before people typically took photos.
Here's a fairly early one
Are we setting a basic cut-off of fatness and then only considering cricketing skillz or are we giving both variables equal weightage to get a fat-good quotient?
If the former, Grace. If the latter - Bradman/Dwayne Leverock.

Ealham and Bresnan should be in there somewhere. And Ridley Jacobs to keep wicket?
David Shepherd and Graham Burgess to do the umpiring duties
..... and while I appreciate that Mark Taylor's nickname was "Tubs" surely his place has to go to Ollie Milburn?
Ian Austin was laaaaaaaarrrrrrrrge.
