ATG, or All Time Great. The acronym gets used a lot on cricket forums as cricket is a sport that lends itself to robust discussion about who is the greatest ever, who was greater than who, whether one era was 'tougher' on batsmen or bowlers stats than another, and so and so forth....

My questions are as follows:

--- How do you decide whether a player is an ATG, or just a very, very good player?

--- And who is in YOUR definitive list as an ATG of cricket?

Interested to hear your thoughts.
