Kills me voting against Hutton who I'm a massive fan of. Greatest opener ever IMO

It's quite weird how 9 our of ten people would vote for Hobbs ahead of Hutton but when you get into it, one could vote Hutton ahead of Hobbs.

Thought so but posted any ways. I mean the votes should not be as skewed in favour of Hobbs as it is when people compare Hobbs and Hutton.

It should be though. In a straight vote between the two there's no reason for Hutton to get any votes. But that doesn't mean anyone disputes that Hutton was a great batsman.

I rate Hutton higher than Hobbs for no definable reasons.
