Australia - Don Bradman
Bangladesh - Tamim Iqbal
Barbados - Garry Sobers
Egypt - John Traicos
England - Jack Hobbs
Guyana - Shivnarine Chanderpaul
Hong Kong - Dermot Reeve

Throughout history the best batsmen have usually been Australian.

Portugal - Moises Henriques
Denmark - Ole Mortensen

Edit: misread title, Ole was a bowler. Maybe Freddie Klokker.

was trying to think of someone from lebanon, then remembered that's rugby league #international game

 

[Viscount Tom]

Who's that bloke playing County Cricket who came from Malaysia again?

Arul Suppiah.

 

[NUFAN]

Dick Westcott vs Moises Henriques is a battle of the ages for the best Portugal bat - I'm rooting for dick.

 

[Spikey]

Throughout history the best batsmen have usually been New South Welshmen

SOK - Daemon's homeland

 

[Zinzan]

Australia - Bradman
England - Grace, Hobbs if we're only talking Tests
South Africa - Nourse
India - Tendulkar
West Indies - Headley
Pakistan - Miandad
Sri Lanka - Sangakkara
New Zealand - Crowe
Zimbabwe - Flower
Bangladesh - Bashar, Tamim probably soon

Nourse over G Pollock, Richards & Kallis? huh?

Also, don't buy into the myth that Grace was actually that great a batsman. Everyone knows umpires never gave him out and he never walked

 

[Daemon]

Arul Suppiah.

Cheers.

SOK - Daemon's homeland

I don't live in Malaysia.

Suppiah's more Malaysian than him anyways, stayed there all the way until uni.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nourse over G Pollock, Richards & Kallis? huh?

Yep.

Also, don't buy into the myth that Grace was actually that great a batsman. Everyone knows umpires never gave him out and he never walked

Sounds like the perfect combination of strengths to me.

Dick Westcott vs Moises Henriques is a battle of the ages for the best Portugal bat - I'm rooting for dick.

You're in fine form these days.

 

[Cevno]

Daemon to claim Mahadevan Sathashivam for Singapore, imo.

Actually he captained there team along with Malaysia, so yeah.

Woah, never heard of him before this. Some seriously high praise from Sobers and Worrell.

 

[Howe_zat]

Who's the best Welsh batsman? All their Test players I can think of were bowlers, or Geriant Jones.

 

[Pothas]

Tony Lewis, maybe?

 

[Satyanash89]

Woah, never heard of him before this. Some seriously high praise from Sobers and Worrell.

Hes considered one of the greatest cricketers to never have played a test match, and looking at the amazing praise he recieved from Sobers, Worrell, he must have been truly remarkable
