Who is the best left handed batsman in the world?

Can't tell if this is a serious post or not

but yes kiwi accents are ridiculous

?

Didn't you hear her in the video?

 

[Fuller Pilch]

That's not how Devon is pronounced, is it? She said Deevon

That's not a she. Sounds like a prepubescent boy.

 

[Gob]

Wade

Morris, Harvey, and Donnelly all worth a shout imo

As are Lloyd, Anwar, Graeme Smith etc. I'd probably include Harvey and Smith now that I think about it over Hayden and Gilchrist.

 

[Burgey]

Very close for a spot between Hayden & Fat Gray.

Bloke I used to love watching was Roy Fredericks. Doesn’t really belong in this discussion but played an ATG lefty knock in 75/76 at the WACA

Lack of reference to ganguly in here is a rare outbreak of common sense from the usual suspects too. Just waiting for Migara to say Ranatunga also just makes it because of his great fielding.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

(top 10 on that list of 11)

I honestly think that's too high.

 

[Senile Sentry]

Gary Kirsten is a good shout. Also Graeme Thorpe. Used to like both for their doggedness

 

[Senile Sentry]

Graham Thorpe. Did very well in a dark era for English cricket - esp in Ashes. Eons better than the overrated Atherton or Hussain

 

[Starfighter]

It's definitely Conway, he'll be ruining the experiences of Test bowlers for years.

I've just added this to my bookmarks.

i think this was the moment i went from parochial ambivalence towards a wellington cricketer to becoming a fan. i really want the dude to succeed just so we can meme this forever.

and tbf he's a bloody good batsman. would slot him in the moment ross goes.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

It's definitely Nicholas Pooran.

Change my mind.

Who?

Who?

 

[Gob]

Currently probably Warner but he's far from being a great batsman. Top ten of all time (in no particular order):

Sobers
Lara
Pollock
Border
Chanders
Sanga
Flower
Hussey
Gilchrist
Hayden (?)

Xi out of it

Smith
Hayden
Sangakkara
Pollock
Lara
Sobers
Gilchrist
Davidson
Akram
Johnson
Tyfield

Amazing batting but bowling falls a bit short

Lol Jadeja with batting avg of 37 and 220 test wickets @ 24 not making the cut.

Typhoon who ?

I considered him as an allrounder

It was close between him and Sobers but I went for Garry due to longevity

 

[Pup Clarke]

Would love to see QDK go on a golden run these next few years. Such a wonderful batsman to watch in full-flight, and 5 test hundreds is so absurdly low for a man of his talents

Jadeja has better avg and more wickets than Ty.
