Zak Crawley vs Kraigg Brathwaite

Presumably Brathwaite reaches a hundred tests this series. He might just be the worst player to ever reach that landmark. I'm not, at present, going to bet against Crawley reaching the same landmark in a few years time though!

For comparison, though, Brathwaite has probably been the WI's best batter during his career (says a lot about the competition), while Crawley has consistently been the worst for England to have had a sustained career during his.

I can't stand the disrespect to Brathwaite here. I get he's mediocre but he's also been the one or one of two test-standard batsmen that WI have for the past decade. He's not the problem. The problem is everyone else.

 

[Silver Silva]

Crawley probably faced tougher opponents on a more regular basis and more entertaining to watch so I would vote for him based off that.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

The one who averages 40 against NZ, rather than 10.

This is a great descriptor of the problem.

 

[Johan]

anyway, Zak, neither are good but atleast he is somewhat entertaining to watch when he gets going, Kraigg is the modern embodiment of everything wrong with Windies batting

I’d say Crawley’s more the embodiment of everything wrong with current test batting.

Bairstow or Boucher

 

[Johan]

bad keeper + good bat vs average keeper + bad bat

 

[Thala_0710]

Bairstow or Boucher

Dimuth, Athers, Harbhajan perhaps with a shout?

Harbhajan, Dimuth or Bairstow

 

[Thala_0710]

Harbhajan, Dimuth or Bairstow

Is Harbi our worst guy there or Ishant?

 

[Johan]

Harbhajan, Dimuth or Bairstow

Boucher was even worse, Harby won way more games than him.

 

[Thala_0710]

Boucher was even worse.

Boucher was a good wk at least. I'd take him over Bairstow

 

[Johan]

average keeper at best, better keep than Bairstow but way inferior bat.

hmmm..... probs Harbi. Had the higher peak but Ishant more consistent for a longer period. Toss up for me.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dimuth, Athers, Harbhajan perhaps with a shout?

Atherton doesn't deserve to be mentioned here at all
