Utterly atrocious. Kanhai himself would slap you in the face for suggesting he is better than Weekes and Walcott.

Kanhai was absolute quality. He's not as big of a legend, or heralded as much for historic reasons. As a pure batter only, I believe he's quite underrated as opposed to the Ws, and I'd take Kanhai over them.
All of those guys high quality bats though.

as good as he was, I don't really see him being in the same class as those two, output gap is too big and Kanhai had substantially easier era, I really can't see how a healthy Weekes or Walcott can be matched by Rohan, like those two just ate bowling lineups in a way I can't see Rohan do.

looks like England has a lot more batting depth historically than WI, out 30th bat would be much better than Braithwaite, Zak is better than Kraigg

Don't think works for Ws. They had stupidly easy Home pitches and generally did poorly away, albeit for a plethora of reasons. Kanhai's away record is significantly superior.

The bowling standards of sides like Australia and Pakistan were significantly inferior in the 60s

India was better in the 60s imo, and Pak only for Mahmood. Australia was worse but not significantly so.

early 60s No and that's when his 70 avg series came iirc, and I think the attack Walcott put to the sword in 1954-55 series was definitely way superior to the one Kanhai made twin tons against or averaged 50+ against in early 1970

Sobers, and Marshall solo (both of these guys solo yes), by being Sobers and Marshall. The Doctor has some real competition here.

I will apply the theorem of sports advancement and West Indies is the only team that would lose to england with that, would declare all Cricket before 2000 as Semi professional and amateur
