One of one in the history of the game?Tricky given Gilchrist's relatively poor longevity. Going to defer my vote until someone provides a good enough argument one way or the other.
It's very closeYeah i think there's enough about Gilchrist to win this despite the lack of longevity. Still think it's close, though.
Sit this side as well. Gilchrist was better when playing, but the longevity difference is so big that I don't know which way to go.Tricky given Gilchrist's relatively poor longevity. Going to defer my vote until someone provides a good enough argument one way or the other.
Despite Wasim playing for much more years, Gilly only played 8 less matches....Sit this side as well. Gilchrist was better when playing, but the longevity difference is so big that I don't know which way to go.
Years are a better measure. Not all sides play the same amount of cricket, but everyone ages.Despite Wasim playing for much more years, Gilly only played 8 less matches....
Yeah, I know; I just commented that on a match to match basis, they played around the same amount. Gilly had to sit outside the team for many years due to the presence of Healy.Years are a better measure. Not all sides play the same amount of cricket, but everyone ages.
And may well have ended up with a batting average quite a bit lower if he played in those years.Yeah, I know; I just commented that on a match to match basis, they played around the same amount. Gilly had to sit outside the team for many years due to the presence of Healy.
90s bowlers and pitches, playing before his prime, and behind a weaker top order.And may well have ended up with a batting average quite a bit lower if he played in those years.
2nd, really?Gilchrist is probably the 2nd name one would have in ATG Xi after Bradman. So, voted him. Though, Akram isn’t that far away of being the best quick ever.
Who would you have as 2nd?2nd, really?
