Top 2 batsmen of each decade since 1970s

[Johan]

Kept wickets in 40s though

makes him overall a greater batsman but his performance against England in the 1948 series is pretty dissapointing, considering it was a England B side effectively lacking Alec Bedser.

 

[Burgey]

Think it is close between maindad and border for 80s. Only thing border is bettee is away record

Bish pls

give Border those Pakistani umpires where they'd never give LBW and those flat ass tracks both teams produce for India vs Pakistan games and Border (or any good bat) is averaging north of 60 tbh, maybe 70
