Len Hutton is, and the only thing that stopped him from being the greatest batsman in history after Sir Don Bradman was Adolf Hitler, The Third Reich, Humanity's evil and The Axis.

It is surprising that the two statistical giants Herbert Sutcliffe and Ken Barrington did not receive a single vote in Wisden Cricketers of the Century

There was a list the @peterhrt shared a few months back, of the great players of that era voted on by some of the absolute greatest.
If I recall correctly, O'Reilly didn't vote for himself, but outside of him. Bradman, Hobbs, Headley and Hammond made every top 5 (or was it 10), Sutcliffe was considerably behind.

Yes. Sutcliffe got 1 or 2 votes. Barrington got zero.

Compton got 14! well deserved
