The CW50 - No.30-21

[zaremba]

Yeah I feel bad about putting Chappell at 50, probably an error, but it's a difficult task

 

[Uppercut]

Had Chappell at 10, Ponting at 16 and Wasim at 20. Can't believe how underrated Chappell is; just look what he did to possibly the greatest bowling attack of all time! Chappell and Ponting, both victims to a lot of exaggeration for their contemporaries.

I'd include Ken Barrington in that list- comparatively not as good as either of those listed but his record deserves some respect whereas he's a completely forgotten man.

I gave him a token vote but I think I was the only one .

 

[Ikki]

Yeh, agree totally.

BTW also had Kallis at 17.

Glad everyone is enjoying it.

Just a quick note, I may not be able to get 20-11 done tonight but I'll give it my best shot. If it turns out that I'm not able to punch it out then you have my apologies in advance and a guarantee that I'll get it up (yes, yes ) over the weekend.

Haha, can't believe you have Ponting so much lower down than I do.

Getting the feeling I was the only one to vote for Frank Worrell

Fear not, he's on my list.

Kallis a bit low tbf but at least he made the list

This was an utter lie as it turns out. It is done, and will be up in a moment.

Well, that's probably because you have his batting contemporaries higher. For me, Ponting is the highest placed of all those when you factor in his all-time batting, all-time fielding and record breaking captaincy. I think by the time he retires I'll feel more than comfortable putting him higher up.

Nah, as far as I remember, I only have Tendulkar (and obviously, Bradman) higher. And SRT and RTP were within 2 spots of each other. I can't agree with the list in that it implies that if Bradman didn't exist, the best Australian batsman of the post war era wouldn't even make the top 20.

 

[Ikki]

Well, it's debatable if he is the best. And between him and Bradman, I have Gilchrist, Warne, Lillee, McGrath and Chappell ahead of him. Then again, there are players from other countries to consider also . As aforesaid, I'll probably rate him higher once he retires and I can look at his career in whole.

What's so sad about that?

Oh sorry, I left out Miller. I said before I have Miller at 7 and Ponting at 16.
