Husseys no where near the best batsman.

Dhoni isnt the best keeper.

Symonds isnt close to being the best all rounder.

lee an allrounder? fraid not. Personally i would say that razzaq or pollock are better one day players than most of those listed.

Pretty limited list, but for me it's Flintoff slightly ahead of Symonds, in ODIs. Symonds is probably a better batsman and certainly much better in the field, but the fact that Flintoff is quite close in the batting area and is also a frontline bowler puts him clear.

I don't know if Lee really qualifies as an all-rounder in ODIs yet, but he's really not that far behind Pollock as a batsman in the last couple of years, so he's not too far off. Not really one of the best all-rounders in the world, though.

Not only has he suddenly become an allrounder, but he's also suddenly become better than Razzaq, Afridi, Bravo, Pollock, etc. 8-)

Actually the only reason he's close is because half of his innings have been not outs.

And the main reason for that is that Pollock can be trusted at 6 or 7.

Pollock usually bats at 8... which is precisely where Lee bats most of the time. Mind you, I don't think Lee is as good as Pollock with the bat or anything, but in the last couple of years their performances are quite comparable, as with Vettori and Bravo adn so on. If Lee keeps batting like he has recently in the long term he'll justify being called an all-rounder in ODIs, I think.

Brett Lee has the ability to be an all rounder in both forms of the game, the results will start to come soon IMO. (They have already started)

What? Averaging 15 runs an innings (like he has done since the beginning of 2005) with just 6 scores above 20, including on 50, and a batting average vastly inflated by not outs? He's a bowler who can bat well, but not an allrounder.

IWould have Boucher keeping in my team any day, Gilchrest is good, but as a keeper, Boucher is more exciting.

Ricky Ponting is the World's best batsman- and probally comes close to the top 20 of all time.

Warne no doubt the best bowler, I hope he destroys Murali...


Fielder: Hmmm, Ponting, Symonds, Collingwood, Gibbs, de Villiers... Tough choice.

Best bowlers in The World generally have to have influenced more than 1 (meaningful) Test. Good as Bond is in ODIs and however much potential he has in Tests, calling him the best bowler in The World is hopelessly premature.

So how come Pollock's career has more games at 7 then anywhere else?

The only caveat on the above is that I haven't seen all that much of sub-continent teams in the last couple of years. However, I'd be surprised if any of those guys could gazzump the abovementioned.
