I’d say Miller over Roberts would be a pretty minority opinion here and Roberts is at the bottom so that makes sense

He is.

He really isn't

Walcott might be better, but he's not clearly better

I think I have even Worrell over Kanhai, and I got Weekes and Walcott ahead of Worrell by a clear margin.

Worrell is not ahead of Kanhai as a batsman

I do have Kanhai over Worrell
Johan

I think he was.

All the more reason he isn't
Johan

lots of the who saw both thought the Ws were better than Kanhai as well.

Same for Trumper and Bradman

Ok? I don't really see you making a point, Having Worrell over Kanhai is nothing controversial.

Lot of people who are asked to compare two great cricketers like this, generally get affected by either recency bias (like putting Bumrah no 1) or general stature of the player or nostalgia bias. So it's really hard to say just how much do you value it.
Peer rep in cases where 2 people actually played together for majority of their career is generally more reliable.

My point is I don't really give that a high weightage while comparing the two guys

Even on CW, Worrell ranked 3-4 spots higher than Kanhai in the 2024 poll, his career average is higher and Worrell was averaging 53~ a few games before retirement, Worrell's career average is higher, his average in West Indies is substantially higher, his average in England is higher, his average in India when he toured with commonwealth XI was 70+ though Kanhai did face better bowling in 1966-67 but had better support too. There is nothing outlandish about my opinion.

I don't think it's outlandish. But me having Kanhai over Weekes and Walcott isn't outlandish either.

That is, indeed, extremely outlandish.
