Yup. Although "India's GOAT batsman" is going a bit too far.and Merchant is a terrific choice
True that! Cant imagine there would be many guys who have batted in as many positions as Gregory did. Batted in every position apart from 10 and 11. Averaged over 100 at #4 and nearly 70 at #5.We learnt in the batting position draft that Gregory's most commonly batted position in tests was actually number 9 lol![]()
He was a generous and likeable Australian. He gave himself to cricket with enthusiasm and relish. He enjoyed himself and was the cause of enjoyment in others. At Johannesburg in 1921 Gregory scored a century in seventy minutes v South Africa - the fastest hundred in the history of Test cricket. He was a slip fielder of quite unfair reach and alacrity, a Wally Hammond in enlargement, so to say, though not as graceful, effortless, and terpsichorean. Gregory was young manhood in excelsis. All who ever saw him and met him will remember and cherish him. - cricinfo
