If @Johan is to be believed, the Australian Compton vs the English Chappell. Who was the better batsman?

sidenote: can’t believe this comparison has never been done before!

Compton's away record flaw is basically a tour to Australia with a battered knee and one in South Africa at 40. I think they are equal at home with slight advantage to Compton and he also has a better record away, especially with an 8 year longer career. Though Chappell's WSC work is Great, and on including it, I will place him ahead, just. Same tier though

Yeah my belief is they did similarly in relevant away nations (Aus, Windies and England) when Compton wasn't limping but Compton was better at home with a longer career. Chappell's Non-Test Work such as World XI games and WSC pushes him ahead slightly, same tier though.

All that is fine and dandy but I'm still confused on who this guy, if a rētard is going to start a beef I should atleast know who he is.
