Taylor, the effects of a good captain is underrated.

Hammond, I think you'd rather have the ATG bat when the ATG bowler is taking 3 WPM.

Anderson, too big of a bowling gap for Benaud to overcome.

Gavaskar, Pollock's batting isn't much of a factor and Sunny would've more impact via primaries.

Sobers, simply the second greatest Cricketer of all time with no one being in the frame of discussion.

Anderson, too big of a bowling gap for Benaud to overcome.

You cannot say that after saying, "the effects of a good captain is underrated".

 

[subshakerz]

Sobers, simply the second greatest Cricketer of all time with no one being in the frame of discussion.

Sobers is a better cricketer but Hadlee is more valuable for an average side.

Huge gap in primary = secondaries get overwritten.

 

[Johan]

Sobers is a better cricketer but Hadlee is more valuable for an average side.

I don't think he is, taking the average side as say 2000s England, I think with a Sobers we'd have more success.

The gap between Hayden and Taylor on primary is much bigger lol. And Benaud is arguably the 2nd greatest Captain ever.

Taylor

Benaud

Sobers

I think an average team would actually make a lot more effective use out of Pollock's batting than the one he was in.

 

[subshakerz]

2000s Eng is easily above average. Very good side.

Hadlee took a poor side and made it a top tier team.

No.

 

[subshakerz]

Interesting how there is no consensus here.

 

[subshakerz]

No.

Benaud could bat also. On second thought I think a great pacer like Anderson might be more useful.

 

[sayon basak]

No.

XD XD hilarious.

 

[shortpitched713]

Hayden
Miller
Anderson
Pollock

Hadlee/Sobers depends on exactly who is in my average team.

 

[DrWolverine]

ATG bowler would have more of an impact in a test match than an ATG batsman.
