Yeah, No.

Yeah, I don't expect others to know/rate him.

 

[kyear2]

How did Simpson make it over him... Also this reminds me of Hayden and Greenidge who are up there with these guys as well

Simpson is a top 5 slip and a useful leg spinner as a 5th option.

 

[Johan]

That's simply.. Not true

I mean, it literally is. No condition deficiencies, no major technical flaws like those three, didn't rely on road era, much more expansive FC career, far longer career than Smith and Hayden etc. It's just not close.

Swap the 3rd and 4th.

You will go with Trumper over Sutcliffe!!? Tell you what, you are a Good dude.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Van der Bijl probably was better than Rabada tbh

 

[sayon basak]

Except that Barry is better than Boycott.

Why isn't Van Der Bijl better than Rabada?

You already have Miller there with 4 other specialist bowlers

 

[kyear2]

For NFL All Pro teams when you have a tied vote, both players just make the team btw.

I really don't rate Sutcliffe.

At least not nearly as highly as the consensus.

Rabada is having the career Van Der Bijl maybe would've had, Boycott had a career Barry maybe would've matched, Is vs Maybe, basics people.

Don't think that works in Cricket, at all. Admittedly, NFL are Rugby are by far the two biggest sports I practically know nothing about.

Miller doesn't make my Aussie team.

+ Hayden, Miller, Chappell, Smith and Warne available as the slip options to choose from anyway

Barry did have a career, and not a single soul who saw them both rated Boycott as better.

Show me an AT or any XI that has in Boycott over Barry.

Heck even a 2nd one, or 3rd.

@Thala_0710 refute

Then it makes more sense... But that team has Miller.... So don't really get that

was funny when this logic went flying out the window when Compton was brought up because "romanticism"

Simpson 1st
Chappell 2nd
Smith 3rd

Haydos gully
Warne short leg

Miller 12th man

Lazy CW analysis.

@kyear2 please answer. It's a genuine question, not in any was trying to annoy you.
