Hopefully he’ll extend his Test career to the end of this year, and finish it with a handy World Cup winner’s medal plus a Test average up there in the 70s.

I’d pick Sanga. If for nothing else, because it’d annoy the Cricinfo commentators.

Personally, I think it is an astonishing insult by KC to not give Tendulkar the LMCoG this year.

As a Lara leaning man when talking about the best player of the last 20 years over Sachin, great though he is, i was astonished to see Sanga’s average being virtually 59 today and it made me think…So naturally i turned to the place with the finest cricket brains in the world to ask the question.

Starting the lobbying for the 2015 award already, Sam? Get the early salvos in first, quite right.

Crisp humour on both this sub-thread and one above – for very different reasons.

Perhaps we should have a Lord’s Megachief of Gold each year, to celebrate the person who performed best at the home of cricket.

We had Lords Mega Joint-Chiefs of Gold in an earlier draft.
