Both good batsman. Taylor opened the batting for the entire if his career.

Boon opened the batting 63 times, batted at number 3 position 111 times and had short stints at 4, 5 6 & 7.

Boon. Not a Liberal Party stooge.

I didn't think politics came into it when assessing/ranking players?

Who is better, Boon or M Waugh?

Of course it does. Politics comes into everything. People are their political beliefs. So if you're conservative or right wing, you're a fair bit backwards and invariably an arsehole. Of course that's a factor in rating people in any endeavour.

And don't even start me on Libertarians and their imbecilic opinions on everything.

Are you a Labor voter?

 

[Burgey]

I couldn't possibly say. My political beliefs are very private.

I usually vote Left.

 

[The_CricketUmpire]

I usually vote Left.

Having said that, when assessing and ranking players, I don't let their political views/opinions affect my decision making. I take their ability and stats into it and that's it.

 

[Burgey]

You should though.

 

[Coronis]

I usually vote Left.

Thats right.
