If only Len Hutton would have batted with a certain Courtney Walsh to win a test match should I consider him the greater test batsman

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Lara for me too

This one is hard to call

No idea as never saw Hutton. If he was better than Lara then he would have been a joy to watch.

Struck in the late 30’s, probably not the best batsman to watch but a wildly effective one of course.

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Almost impossible to separate Lara and Hutton.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Yeah this is a close one

Yeah it's Hutton for me, just. No strong feelings though really.

was just watching some of lara's greatest knocks on youtube, all of that natural left-hander's grace and style coupled with picture-perfect technique and a never-ending thirst for runs...just toying with the likes of warne and mcgrath, what a fantastic player!

We need to revive this debate.

 

[sayon basak]

Hutton imo. Just look at the records.

 

[Johan]

Hutton for me, just an utterly flawless record.

Lara, the best batsman I've ever seen. But he literally nips it over Hutton because he had that genius and that extra gear that Hutton lacked.

My 7 and 8 all time.
