    5 greatest test cricketers of 19th century.

    Didn't do much with the ball in Tests. Very good batting record tho. Very close overall.

    5 greatest test cricketers of 19th century.

    5 greatest test cricketers of 19th century.

    I forgot him. He's arguably better than Trumble. Just below Turner for me.

    5 greatest test cricketers of 19th century.

    5 greatest test cricketers of 19th century.

    Ranji, Spofforth, Lohmann, Shrewsburry and Turner are easily the top 5 excluding Grace. Then one of Stanley Jackson, Allan Steel and Hugh Trumble does for me.

    Alec Stewart vs Justin Langer

    Very close. Langer just for me.

    Most talented England cricketer since Ian Botham?

    How much did slip cordons affect Marshall's and Wasim's records?
