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.

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.

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?
