Four of England's greatest batsmen of the modern era.
Graham Gooch
Geoff Boycott
David Gower
Ian Botham
Footage from BBC
If you're wondering why the sound and pictures are out of sync, it's because the original audio was "Soul Limbo" but I had to do an audioswap due to a copyright claim. I just chose The Fall because I like them.

Shame they didn't all score a few more runs between them in that era. Might have saved us some severe embarrassment in the 80s, for instance. Especially in '80, '82, '84, '86, '87, '88 and (worst of all) '89. And that's just at home.
They were great (and Botham was and always shall be my hero) but they weren't that great.
-
That footage of Boycott is most uncharacteristic - he's playing scoring shots in it and he didn't run anyone out.
And I agree with the last two, the music sucks.
-
This music is NOT cricket! It ruins it.
-
why do people add foolish music
-
Great song choice.
For the uninitiated it's The Fall "Theme from Sparta FC".
-
Geoff Boycott, Sir Ian Botham, David Gower & Graham Gooch are the Gods of cricket.
-
What's that music? Certainly not Booker T!
-
W G GRACE????....NO?

@BartBassist I agree with you but I disagree with Cook, maybe Strauss, Cook is good but I think he's still learning the game.
-
@Imrankniazi I voted for Thorpe over KP in Team of the Noughties, purely because he can save the team's ass, purely because he could bat with the tail, could get centuries.. the only thing KP would do there would possibly be a fill-in bowler but he'd never protect the tail, he'd go on his own.. But KP is a good player, on his day.

You have a point Caspar but we could do with someone now who could manage to stay in long enough to avoid us getting all out in less then 150 runs - makes me almost nostalgic for the old git.
