Everton Weekes vs Barry Richards

[Johan]

Better Batsman? Both have really high peer reputation, we all know about Barry at this point, But With Weekes, Garfield Sobers judged him to be the best batsman he saw, Bradman judged Weekes above either Headley or Sobers, George Gunn thought Weekes has a more expansive and wider array and range of strokes than either Bradman or Trumper, Walcott called him the best as well, Benaud said stylistically he was the closest thing to a Pre-War Don.

Hope the rule of nothing mentioned shall relate to Test Cricket hasn’t changed. Can’t compare someone who played just 4 Tests with someone who scored more than 4000 runs at an average of 58.
