The Test Cricket Hall of Fame - 75 to 71: A slow one, a fast one, a nice one, a fancy one and England's greatest ever batter?

There's some outrageous claims on this episode of the Men's Test Cricket Hall of Fame as we explore the careers of five fantastic batters ranked from 75 to 71.

Is it better to occupy the crease or score your runs quickly?

Does a great player have to be a great leader?

Is it a good idea to meet your heroes?

And did Binksy really say that Baldy has ranked the best English batter of all time at #73?

Are any of this group ranked too low? Or are they lucky to be here? We'd love to continue the conversation, so don't hesitate to call us out via email or on social media to share your views - or give us some praise if we've got things spot on!
