So we have had threads on best all rounder, best bowling all rounder but which fatty has been the best?
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?
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.
Warne batting above Streak is an abomination.

I am sure some of the old Indian players would be chubby as well...
