Viv Richards said that he would Javed Miandad to bat for his life

I'll take Brian Lara. It could either be crash and burn or a glorious heist

I presume you mean 'player to bat an innings that best represents your life'.

For this reason I choose Rangana Herath - it's not the best, there are clearly a lot of poor decisions being employed, but it's pretty enjoyable nonetheless

I took it to mean if your life was in jeopardy, and it could only be saved by a cricket innings, who would you select to represent you?

If this is the case, I wouldn't pick anyone from the subcontinent because they'd have been paid off by some shady character.

Nah, for your life they'd fail free of charge

Something inherently trustworthy about Dravid's batting that makes me feel like he'd take my life the most seriously.

I'm with Watto. It's funny I never see Bradman mentioned in batsmen to bat for your life when he is far and away better than everyone else. Unless the criteria is form of your last innings, I can't see how it's even a poll, let alone one without him.

Perhaps due to his performance on bad wickets?

For similar reason I didn’t include some famous batsmen on the poll because I don’t reckon they were better players in such condition than the ones on the list.

Myself. At least then it's in my own hands.

huh? I'd be very surprised if his "performance on bad wickets" wasn't still better than pretty much everyone else's performance even on good wickets.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts. And in this case, the fact is anyone who fails to vote for Allan Border in this poll is a rank idiot.
