    Best Batsmen By Country

    Thought it'd be interesting to see everybody's thoughts on this. Was thinking about great batsmen of each country in the 30's (massive treasure trove there, Bradman, Hammond, Nourse, Dempster, Merchant, Headley). So I thought about the best batsmen for each test playing nation in history. Obviously there will be some easy choices (Australia, Zimbabwe). But still, there will be many different opinions on most players from most of the countries. Haven't fully studied batsmen of a few countries and have absolutely no idea about Bangladesh batsmen but, feel free to include them.

    spin-off. best batsman by state. off the top of my head

    nsw: bradman
    tas: ponting
    act: bevan...?
    vic: harvey
    sa: g chappell
    wa: mussey...?
    nt: no-one (most of the guys born there who have gone onto play test cricket moved from the nt at a young age. so)
    Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?

    With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left

    Australian- Bradman. If choosing another, Greg Chappell

    England- Jack Hobbs (Hammond very close)

    WI- George Headley or Viv Richards. Hard to split.

    India- Tendulkar (Gavaskar very close)

    Pakistan- Miandad

    SA- G. Pollock

    SL- Sangakkara

    NZ- Stewie Dempster or Martin Crowe
