Greatest Asian Cricketer Ever

SA · 28-08-2006, 01:51 AM

Who do u think is the greatest Asian cricketer ever? I think it has be Imran Khan. I think Wasim Akram,Sunil Gavaskar, Muttiah Muralitharan, Sachin Tendulkar,Javed Miandad,Zaheer Abbas,Hanif Mohammad & Kapil Dev are the guys who would come close to him.

No AA?

AussieDominance · 28-08-2006, 02:43 AM

tbh i think Ajit is not really at that standard he is better than Greatest maybe Jesus or God

Jamee999 · 28-08-2006, 02:44 AM

It's Sachin, Murali or Imran. I'd be tempted to go for Murali, tbh.

archie mac · 28-08-2006, 02:44 AM

I wanted to vote Ranji, but as he played for England maybe Gavaskar

JASON · 28-08-2006, 02:50 AM

Sachin by a long way .

IMO - 1 Sachin

Day light

2 Imran

3 Kapil Dev = Javed Miandad, Wasim Akram

4 Gavaskar, Murali, Bedi, Kumble , Chandrasekhar, Dravid ...

Others

Murali overshadows every one so far I think. On Ranji - he never even played in India I think and it is a pity the Ranji Trophy is named after him.

Murali, Sachin and Wasim Akram are the best I've ever seen, with Dravid closing the gap every year. However going on what I've read, old footage I've watched and simply reputation, Gavaskar would be up there as well. However Imran's total package must surely have him very very very close. He was a great captain on top of his brilliant all-round skills, so I'd be willing to pick him just ahead of the aforementioned players.

I would be interested to know what makes you think Tendulkar is so much better than Dravid.

Jono · 28-08-2006, 04:10 AM

Don't lie, you're not really that interested.

BoyBrumby · 28-08-2006, 04:33 AM

In terms of cricketing ability it's Imran for me.

Beleg · 28-08-2006, 04:42 AM

Muralitharan.

Dasa · 28-08-2006, 04:46 AM

I'd say Murali, shading Imran by a whisker.

Mister Wright · 28-08-2006, 04:53 AM

I went with Rahul Dravid, due to his fitness levels, versatility in the batting order, leadership ability, slips fielding excellence, his consistency in performing away from the sub-continent and last of all his elegent batting.

Murali. Sachin a close second with Imran.
