Was Everton Weekes an ATG test batsman?

[Johan]

Question

 

[kyear2]

No.

Think he's really close and a victim of circumstance and his own body, but not quite.

One of the borderline guys

 

[Johan]

I have Weekes as ATG and Walcott as borderline.

 

[kyear2]

I have Weekes as ATG and Walcott as borderline.

I think Weekes and Miandad are my first two out.

But my list is really short, and it varies for both and Walcott

 

[Sliferxxxx]

No.

This exactly.

 

[Johan]

I don't rate Miandad

 

[Sliferxxxx]

I think Weekes and Miandad are my first two out.

My WI atgs are:

Headley, Viv, Lara, Sobers, Ambrose and Marshall

Greats: Worrell, Walcott, Weekes, Holding, Garner, Walsh

Very very good: Greenidge, Lloyd, Kanhai, Hunte, Roberts, Gibbs, Bishop

Chanderpaul

Good:

Richardson, Nurse, Kallicharan, Gayle, Stollmyer, Butcher, Croft etc

No Headley?

 

[Sliferxxxx]

No Headley?

He's there...

 

[Johan]

Headley is a bonafide ATG and I think a comparison between Weekes and Headley is valid.

 

[kyear2]

Headley is a bonafide ATG and I think a comparison between Weekes and Headley is valid.

That's also true.

 

[the big bambino]

I'd upgrade Weekes, Roberts and Richardson on sliferxxxx's list

 

[Ju7]

No Headley?

My WI atgs are:

Headley, Viv, Lara, Sobers, Ambrose and Marshall

Greats: Worrell, Walcott, Weekes, Holding, Garner, Walsh

Very very good: Greenidge, Lloyd, Kanhai, Hunte, Roberts, Gibbs, Bishop

Chanderpaul

Good:

Richardson, Nurse, Kallicharan, Gayle, Stollmyer, Butcher, Croft etc

I wouldn't say Walsh was a great more of a very very good.

Just outside, similar to Younis.

Who is the worst bat that you rate as an ATG?

 

[Coronis]

Who is the worse bat that you rate as an ATG?

Technically Pollock, followed by Headley, but I downgrade them a bit for shortened careers. In terms of my ratings, after that it would be Dravid.

 

[Prince EWS]

I don't rate Miandad

He doesn't rate you either.

 

[Coronis]

He doesn't rate you either.

The proof is in the pudding.

 

[ataraxia]

Who is the worst bat that you rate as an ATG?

McGrath personally.

 

[kyear2]

McGrath personally.

Ok, that's funny.

Well done.
