There's very little to suggest that Sutcliffe was better than Sunny or Hutton. I would say than he's easily behind both.

Gavaskar is closer to Hutton than he's to Sutcliffe

And we all have different rankings.
Hutton - 8
Gavaskar - 11
Sutcliffe - peripheral top 20.

Flattest of the flat pitch eras, last years of the old lbw rule, opened with the GOAT, and even with all of those advantages he scored at the slowest conceivable rate imaginable.
No, not the greatest fan.

maybe the greatest defensive bat in history though, even Bradman was in awe of his ability to just casually track and block even the best deliveries with no real effort or leaving balls that could've easily turned in and bowled him. He is one of the absolute GOATs when the going got tough, on absolutely rain fried wickets he won games with his batting, 161 at the Oval in 1926, or his 135 at Melbourne in 1929, these are some of the greatest displays of batsmanship in the history of the sport.

Is pretty good list. I can go back and forth on a few people so apart from that, gold star. You get an A+, you creepy stalker!

I think he did not rate Viv in top 10.
I can understand not rating Viv in top 5 but not having him in the top 10 was surprising.
