Pretty tough to pick between them, I'll go with the offie Trumble mainly because that's what I bowl, a sense of loyalty to the spinners fraternity.

He does also have 2 hattricks, and got some useful runs, so perhaps those play a part as well

And most importantly, his moustache is excellent.

Trumble. I heard a bit about him, that he was quite a character. And myself being a moustache-wielding, useful batting spinner too...yea

Hugh Trumble - 21 bowling average is right up there with the greats.

 

[Michaelf7777777]

Hugh Trumble - A bowling average of 21 puts him up there with the all time greats (Is also part of an exclusive group to take two test match hattricks and is also one of a very small group to take 25 wickets in 5 test ashes series in both Australia and England) and his batting average was decent for his era (probably equivalent to something in the early to mid 20's today).

 

[RoboRocks]

Trumble, he took a few hattricks in his time and scored a few runs.

 

[ali_ed2001]

Hugh Trumble a wonderful bowling average..and then adds about 20 runs with the bat, excelent.

 

[Griffo]

Trumble by far his bowling is far superior to browns batting

 

[Gilly Fan]

Another bump, and it will be my last.

Trumble for me, far superior to Bill Brown. What an average! And a brillaint economy rate of 2.27 and a nice SR of around 57.5. He's also a Melbournian.

:o @ this thread.

Be on the lookout for a new battle soon. I don't have the laptop that the randomized battles were on so it could be a while.

 

[Gilly Fan]

Nightprowler, are you still going to be making another one? Just wondering.
