AK , please go read some cricket history! Peter May was the most capped English captain before Mike Atherton broke his record and was the finest on-driver of a cricket ball from ANY country!

    May played in the 50's/60's and you've never heard of him . Hobbs plays 40-50 BEFORE him and you know who he is , I find that staggering.

There's no excuse for ignorance any longer , use the search engines and read about cricket's rich history!!

I've never heard of Peter May before but have of the others and Hayden & Ponting dont deserve a mention in the top 10 of all time take nothing from them,there great batsman but top 10 is just ridicilous. I still don't get how this system works but either way it's a piece of crap.

I found this list of the Greatest Ever Ratings given by the ICC for batting and was hoping to get others thoughts on it. I found some of the names in the top 10 quite suprising.

I was especially suprised to see both Ponting & Hayden in the top 10, yet Lara, B Richards, Tendulkar & Gavaskar, all who of which are rated better than Ponting or Hayden, are below them. Is this a reflection of poor quality of the ratings system, or is it saying that in top form, these 11 batsmen are the best ever ??
