Barry Richards vs Frank Worrell

[Johan]

I think it'd be pretty unanimous that Barry was the greater batsman, but who was the greater Cricketer?

 

[DrWolverine]

Barry Richards : Arguably the better batsman
Frank Worrell : Greater test career
Frank Worrell : More impact outside cricket as well

I'm a big Bazza fan but Worrell was an ATG bat, decent 5th bowler (or better) with left-arm variety and a contender for the GOAT of captaincy.

Yep. Close between close and not close for me.

The GOAT captaincy thing really doesn't extend outside of the WI does it?

The only captain I've watched that's worthy of credit for same has been Taylor.

The rest all lacked something. Worrell was obviously before my time.
