To avoid you guys being too patriotic or favouring one country above the rest, how about you create a list of players who you think were the best players for their country? Here's mine: (Note, I'm only going back 20 years, but you can feel free to go back to Don Bradman if you wish) I'm combining bowlers and batsmen into one list. You can separate if you want. South Africa: Jacques Kallis India: Sachin Tendulkar West Indies: Viv Richards Australia: Shane Warne New Zealand: Martin Crowe Pakistan: Imran Khan Sri Lanka: Aravinda da Silva England: Ian Botham Zimbabwe: Heath Streak ------------- Disclaimer: The opinions expressed here may not necessarily reflect the opinions of any other forum members.

South Africa: Graeme Pollock India: Sunil Gavaskar West Indies: Garfield Sobers Australia: Shane Warne New Zealand: Richard Hadlee Pakistan: Imran Khan Sri Lanka: Muttiah Muralitharan Zimbabwe: Andy Flower I'm afraid I am stuck on England! Botham is probably the best player in my lifetime but I have my doubts that he'd be the greatest English player ever, but not having seen the likes of WG Grace, Jack Hobbs, Wally Hammond, Harold Larwood, Dennis Compton and Fred Trueman I would struggle to make a particularly strong case for one in particular. |

South Africa: Jacques Kallis India: Sachin Tendulkar West Indies: Garfield Sobers Australia: Shane Warne New Zealand: Richard Hadlee Pakistan: Imran Khan
Sri Lanka: Muttiah Muralitharan England: Kevin Pietersen
Zimbabwe: Andy Flower I only date back to the days for the Windies as I know alot about them as they are my country men but for the other countries, it's from what I have seen. Pietersen easily gets my nod for England. He just plays with his own style and that's what makes him a great batsman...... well, so far in his career. Andy Flower for Zimbabwe for sure. You don't find many persons from minnow countries that can bat very well. ------------- In troubled times, being philosophical helps a great deal, it helps you to remain sane and not do any further damage. |

Pakistan: Imran Khan/Wasim Akram
West Indies: Gary Sobers/ Viv Richards/ Malcom Marshall
New Zealand: Richard Hadlee/Chris Cairns/ Martin Crowe
South Africa: Shaun Pollock/Graeme Pollock
England: Ian Botham/ Kevin Pieterson
Zimbabwe: Andy Flower/ Heath Streak
This list could go on forever and i narrowed it down as much as possible. (in my opinion) I tell you what though, these 20 players would make one hell of a side.

yes i do think flintoff deserves a spot in there. He's easily been england's best player in the last 5 years or so. He was the main reason for england winning the 2005 ashes. For me, flintoff and botham are the 2 best English cricketers ever. |

Sri Lanka - Aravinda de Silva? West Indies - Malcolm Marshall? South Africa - Greame Pollock? Pakistan - Miandad, Zaheer Abbas? NZ - Fleming....??????? What about Chris Cairns, Martin Crowe, Daniel Vettori Austrailia - Shane Warne? England - Jack Hobbs? Len Hutton? Harlod Larwood? |
Posted By: sporty
Date Posted: 17 June 2007 at 6:09pm
|
So you need some justification,huh. Ok. Lets start with Sri Lanka: Think there's no doubt of Murali being there. As of de Silva I think Jayasurya is better than him as he can terrorize the opponent both with his bat as well as his bowling. He's one of the most feared players in the world. Dont think the same could be said for de Silva. Yes, he's a good player too but I think Jayasurya's better. Next comes West Indies: I think the West Indies have produced too many great players over the years. So, if you want to include Malcolm Marshall including other guys like Michael Holding or Courtney Walsh or Brian Lara or Gordon Grennidge also becomes a point. You cannot include all of them so I've included Sir Vivian Richards and Sir Garfield Sobers. Don't think there should be any problems with that. South Africa: I thought about including Graeme Pollock but then chose Donald And Shaun Pollock above him mainly because I don't think he has played enough International Cricket. Yes Graeme has an avg. of more than 60 but still it has only come in 23 tests. What Shaun and Donald have achieved has come in a vast span of time playing as many as 9 different countries home and away. May be if South Africa hadn't suffered the ban and Graeme would have played a few more tests he could have been in there. Pakistan: Imran Khan has to be there for his contributions to Pakistani cricket. He has probably been their greatest allrounder. For Wasim Akram I can only say that he has been one of my favourite bowlers. More than 900 international wickets is quite a record. Miandad could have been in there but only if I had chosen three players from each side. NZ: I've chosen Fleming ahead of guys like Cairns and Crowe because of his leadership. He has probably been one of the greatest captains ever, a true leader. Australia: Warne or Mcgrath think that is the question, right? Because you cannot doubt the Great Sir Donald Bradman being there. If thats the case my preference would be Mcgrath. I think most would chose otherwise but for me Mcgrath would be just that little ahead of Warne. After all his bowling averages are better than Warne in both forms of the game. England: I've never seen guys like Hobbs, Hutton or Larwood bat or bowl thats why I did not pick any of them. You may question than why's Bradman in there. The reason is you do not have to see him bat its all their in his batting avg. In the end I'd say that the players I chose were my preferences. Would love to see your team also. ------------- the pessimist sees the glass as half empty, the optimist says it is half full..i say "Who drank my beer?!" |

I take it that the 1st line is someone else's selection and you've misused the quote function - if not , then you should be committed for disagreeing with yourself. Secondly , stupid posts usually are deleted so as not to make this forum a laughing stock. You've obviously never seen Marshall play , otherwise you'd realise he couldn't be compared to Lara as he was a fast bowler! That Marshall has been hailed as one of the greatest bowlers ever to grace the game - and by some of the finest players of the game , makes your disregard even more stupid. We encourage youngsters here at cricketworld and we hope they'll learn about the game as their tenure goes on , but that doesn't mean posting for postings sake , and idiotic ones at that, will be tolerated . ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

I don't know that much about Marshall...He was a fast bowler for the windies a long time ago and he was very distructive....but could he be chosen above Richards? I know that Richards was a hitter. I know it's rubbish to compare a batsman and a bowler but Marshall seemed like a top class bowler but was Richards a top class batsman? I don't think very highly of hitters ------------- |

Daisy, you haven't seen him playing, that could be the only reason. He was not an all rounder, for God sake! He was a specialized batsman who is considered to be one of the all times greats.
As to the topic, I just can't find the heart to name two or three best palyers for each country, it's too big a deal for me. It may be a bit easier to pick those for BD, Kenya etc., but for countries having decades and some even having centuries old history of cricket, I don't find it possible to name two or three 'best' players.

The only reason I posted two players was because someone before me did just that. Just following their example. Don't use text speak if you're trying to rip into me - it's not as effective. ------------- Warriors!! |

excuse me.
The topic stated only one player. So tell me if your teacher tells you not to beat up kids and you see someone else doing it, will you do it knowing your teacher clearly stated not to do it.
99 % of the posters here name only one and you named two. Explain that.

Maybe I'm being a bit different and not conforming to your standards...did your miniscule mind ever come across that? Probably not. ------------- Warriors!! |

Nobody likes a good argument more than I do - and this isn't a good
argument! Calm down lads , the bone of contention hardly
merits all the huffing and puffing.

Murali is far better than Jayasuriya and Bradman is the greatest batsman ever. Despite, Warne's brilliance Bradman can't be matched. |
