Choose the best batsman between these three

[BazBall21]

Three borderline all-timers.

 

[subshakerz]

Its a toss up between Inzi and Crowe but I go with Inzi for being more destructive.

 

[ankitj]

Jeez the whole forum is under pressure from Kiwi contingent. Fair to say they are punching above their weight.

Kanhai > Crowe.

 

[h_hurricane]

I am voting for Kanhai here. Played until late 30s unlike Crowe yet ended with a better average, and solid all round record everywhere unlike Inzy.

 

[BazBall21]

Crowe’s early finish is accommodated somewhat by debuting at 19

 

[Slifer]

Close but I'll go with Kanhai for his all round solidness.

 

[Migara]

Like Crowe the most, but Inzy always had that X factor and the ability to take on the leader of the attack.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Rohan Babulall Kanhai

 

[BazBall21]

Rohan in the ascendancy now!

 

[TheJediBrah]

Close but I'll go with Kanhai for his all round solidness.

That sounds more like Inzy

 

[Flem274*]

Inzi

 

[Zinzan]

Crowe easily, close thread.

 

[trundler]

Dunno tbh. Too close to call.

 

[BazBall21]

Kanhai Crowe Inzy probably the right order imo

 

[Line and Length]

Clearly Kanhai

 

[ataraxia]

Kanhai just for me, but I'm really surprised he's winning this. No longer underrated, it seems.

 

[Calm_profit]

Kanhai just for this innings where others struggled to bat on Perth and against Lillee

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I see (surprisingly) that Kanhai never played a test vs NZ. He must've missed the WI's 1969 tour to NZ and NZ's 1972 tour of the Caribbean.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Crowe is the worst of the bunch. Tough choice between inzy and kanhai

 

[BazBall21]

Aside from not cashing in as much as the very best, Kanhai's record is close to flawless. He has the volume of work, insane consistency across his career and healthy returns against his four opponents both home and away. Good for ROW and in FC too. Has some gun overseas series performances. Even has a balanced range of scoring tempos. Biggest (and maybe only) caveat against him is simply not averaging 50 playing mostly in a batting era.
