I'll give it a crack:
Australia: Don Bradman/ Shane Warne
India: Kapil Dev/ Sachin Tendulkar
Sri Lanka: Sanath Jayasuriya/ Murali
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. I hate leaving certain players out, thats why i dont like doing this sort of thing although it is enjoyable!!!

I don't go in for this type of thing - all I will say is that there's some seriously average cricketers on this thread!

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.

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. |

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 |
