Two greatest ABs
The two greatest ABs are probably Richie McCaw and Colin Meads. Other contenders include George Nepia, Michael Jones, Sean Fitzpatrick, Jonah Lomu, and Dan Carter. The greatest cricket-playing AB is probably Jeff Wilson.

AB De Villiers spent the whole first half of his career downhill skiing and wasting his (enormous) talent by getting out in the softest ways imaginable when things were moderately difficult.

TOTAB, by contrast, never made a w@nker run in his entire life. Every one of them was hard earned and meant something. He played in an overall tougher era than TOPAB (The Other, Pretend AB) who had the benefit of the 2000s pancake era.

Border wins this, and it ain't even close. Despite the other bloke being more than decent.
