Very close call, being a Surrey fan I might be biased, two great players for sure though. Funny how they both stood out in county cricket and yet they both failed in pretty much the same way at test level, and with such talent as well.

I only follow the County Championship... 20/20 may have brought in the crowds (and therefore the revenue) but at the cost of yobbery and boorishness.

I agree. There was plenty of this appallingly bad behaviour during last seasons 20/20 tournament - but the media, for some strange reason, decided to sweep the reporting of it under the carpet.
