One of the most interesting things about cricket, is the gladiatorial aspect of it. At one point, everyone here must've pitted cricketers across generations in their imagination. This is a thread for the battles that you'd sell your soul to watch.
I'll start:
Bradman vs Marshall. Fairly obvious. The only time Bradman was made to look a mortal was Bodyline. But that was arguably because of the physical danger. Give Bradman a helmet and the 2 are on equal footing. Marshall had the nastiest skiddy bouncer in business too.
Gavaskar vs McGrath: Despite both their styles best described as dour, this would be very interesting as Gavaskar was an excellent leaver with an impenetrable defence and McGrath was the greatest corridor bowler. Both of them relentless.
