VVS Laxman vs Graham Gooch. Your pick?

[MechEng]

Both have plenty of similarities, average low in Tests but have played some memorable knocks. But who's better?

:hysterical: so 45.90 is low.

Gooch was one of England's all time greats and one of their very few who could face spin well... Scored runs in difficult conditions I heard and single handedly drowned India in 1987 WC! But Laxmans owns him in elegant strokemaking and sheer style

So, we are comparing an opener with no 5-6 batsman just because their average are not 50+?

Gooch was England's #1 batsman. Laxman is probably several rungs lower in our batting pantheon. Tells a story. :)

did England had a Tendulkar Dravid Sehwag when Gooch was playing? Sent from my GT-I9103 using Tapatalk 2

All I can say is that I would pick a 37-42 year old Gooch over a 37 year old Laxman anyday
