    Gooch vs Gower: Who was the better Test bat?

    Two English contemporaries that were polar opposites. In terms of both batting style and off-field approach. A personality clash was seemingly inevitable. But which one in terms of overall career was the better Test batsman?

    Graham Thorpe

    Happy birthday for yesterday to Graham Thorpe. Hope we hear some good news on his health soon ? Not many England players are underrated, but he is certainly underrated. Imo, the second best England test bat out of players that debuted since 1980.

    Underrated Test Player - Saeed Anwar

    I get that sample size is the main problem with Anwar (55 Tests played) and that might be why he isn’t talked about too much but this guy was a gun. Two of his best knocks came in overseas wins over in India and South Africa and he also succeeded in England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, even did...
