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.
