I think the batsmen as they would be able to fend off the balls and then beat their assailant with the bat. That's what you meant innit?
I think the bowlers cos they get to bat regularly and some batsmen never get to bowl so would get knocked all over the park.
All down to the wicket conditions
Who’s keeping wicket?
And as an idle exercise, I'll try and list my favourite 'best' batsmen and bowlers (since I started getting interested in cricket. And these are teams to play a five day Test, not Mickey Mouse quick cricket.
In no particular order:
Batsmen
Gordon Greenidge
Desmond Haynes
Viv Richards
Rahul Dravid
Sachin Tendulkar
Ricky Ponting
Jacques Kallis*
Ian Botham*
Adam Gilchrist
Andy Flintoff*
Steve Waugh
Bowlers
Wasim Akram*
Curtly Ambrose
Courtney Walsh
Joel Garner
Malcolm Marshall
Dennis Lillee
Jeff Thomson
Shane Warne
Derek Underwood
Ravichandran Ashwin
Richard Hadlee*
The asterix denotes ones who can do the other. On my list, there's only two bowlers who can bat, so maybe the batters would win this match (yeah, I know, the bowlers don't have a wicket-keeper either, so just humour me).
