DoG's Top 100 Test Batsmen - The Top 25

1. It makes a hell of a difference in the bowler's list. A lot of bowlers have career ratings above 150 and this puts them too far ahead of other greats who played less matches
Then just weight down the parameter. Don't want to see 10 test wonders making the top 10 list of ATG bowlers.

Who cares?

Look, I've had another think* abouth this and seriouslt, if you don't want to roger Allan Border you're kidding yourself. how great was he? On reflection, second to Bradman. Nevef mind the ***eh shots all arounf the wicket. let's talk about toughness. Not facing the WI attacks on fgeatherbeds like that ***** Gavaskar, but on real cricket wickets which offered a bit for the quicks. Get him up here, I want to **** him. You can have your FaiLaras or Flopdulkars, when the chips wree down, the great man always stood up. What could Tendulkar or lara do which AB couldn't? Play a back foot drive? Who gives a ****? When the chips were down, like they always were through the mid 80s, AB stood up. This was the era when the WI used to tour here and we'd play them in Brisbane and Perth first up - we'd be 2-0 down inside four days cricket. And this bastard use dto stand up and make runs when no one else would.

Lara's 153? Pfft. What about Border's 98 not out and 100 not out vs WI in 1984? Die in a fire, all you ****s. AB uber alles.




*several Makers Mark 46's.

Headley receives a maximum of 705 career points having only played 22 matches and thus drops down to no.13.
Can’t believe its been 6 years since this. Still amazes me.
