wrap it up guys, Les Jackson is a better bowler than James Anderson because Lindwall and Trueman said he was amazing, ignore their actual careers though

It's so funny seeing you put Barry over Greenidge and suddenly all these arguments go out the window

Boycott was a selfish **** who played for his own average.

It was never team focused or strategic. He played for his average.

Never respected those players, never will.

lol

Boycott won the Ashes back for us after 12 years of Australia denying us at every turn, rest is all hogwash and irrelevant crap.

It is, Boycott has a much better FC career and an 18 year Test career, You would've to say you don't actually care about runs or longevity or achievements, only peer reputation to push Barry higher.

Barry has the runs and achievements. Admittedly a bit short on longevity for a batsman. But '66 to '80 is good enough.

It's so funny seeing you do tricks on Barry's dick while critiquing O'Reilly for "having a short career", extremely hilarious.

I also agree that we should have awaited the tie breaker vote.

@capt_Luffy next time allow votes to not go into a second round and just wait to ensure the max posters are voting first round, ideally one to two selections at a time.

Neither Boycott or Barry had ATG careers but I don’t think it’s ridiculous to think Barry would have been an ATG over a full career. Regardless, neither of them should be ranked above ATGs.

why? isn't it more fun in an extremely close fight this way?

Wait you put Barry over Greenidge?

I literally don't critcise him. I have him as an ATG! Just not in the top 10

Yup

their FC career coincided and Barry did much better while opening with him iirc so I thought maybe

Boycott has a closer claim to being ATG I think but saying it sounds ridiculous.

So nothing to do with peer rep?

well yea a player with 100+ tests is going to be closer to being a test ATG than the one with 4 lol

No because it feels that contested selections are going to be decided in single digit voting, not full votes in

You rated Trueman higher before changing your opinion, as always you're being hypocritical simply because you want a guy to be better but you don't have a valid argument to make for it.

It was a tie though.

I think having Barry over Greenidge but complaining about Boycott not being ahead of him sounds hypocritical.

Dude.....

And yes I agree. If you don't call Barry an ATG, 19 tests vs England can't qualify O'Reilly over an Ashwin either.

It's a hilarious double standard.

Because Boycott outperformed him by a country mile in FC, Greenidge didn't.
