Walter Hammond and George Headley vs Sunil Gavaskar and Greg Chappell

Better duo of batsmen? Red Ball Cricket, Of Course

H&H. The gap between Headley and Chappell is bigger for me than the gap between Gavaskar and Hammond

I have H&H ahead in both those matchups

Nah, Gavaskar beats Hammond for me though they're close

 

[Johan]

close but Hammond

 

[Johan]

****, I gave Hammond too strong a partner, should've given him Compton because that's the English Chappell

Another vote I vast where the result shocked me.

Didn't expect near unanimous at this point.

I have them exceptionally close, as in elite ATG batsmen but just outside the BAB category. They are literally one behind the other for me, think Sunny currently ahead.

How much do you think is the gap between BAB category and Elite ATG category?

 

[Johan]

Hanmond – 9
Gavaskar – 10
Headley – 12
Chappell – Not in top 20

How much do you think is the gap between BAB category and Elite ATG category?

Not huge. But there's mini gaps in between as well, and shifting of order depending on the criteria, but that mainly includes Hobbs.

Bradman

The the BAB

Tendulkar | Richards | Sobers | Hobbs

Then the BAB with * that's just a sub tier below.

Smith | Lara | Hutton | Richards

Then the post BAB that's just behind

Gavaskar | Hammond | Chappell | Headley | Ponting | Pollock

Then the next set behind them that's the last of the true ATGs

Kallis | Dravid | Root | Waugh |
Border / Sangakkara

But to answer your question, not a huge gap. But I don't see them in that BAB convo.

I don't get the Chappell hate.

 

[DrWolverine]

Gavaskar & Chappell

 

[Coronis]

I don't get the Chappell hate.

He claims he’s the Aussie Compton

 

[Johan]

I don't get the Chappell hate.

basically an Australian Denis Compton.
