Here is the list from their website.

As the article states, it has a huge bias for all-rounders, maybe that would be a better definition for the list.

 

[Spikey]

44th iirc

 

[robelinda]

Cannot believe than Jeremy Coney is up that high, and no Punter to be seen.

 

[Burgey]

As Jack said, this seems an ODI allrounders list more than anything. Bet Dorries had a hand in picking this list.

 

[_Ed_]

Cronje and Hooper in the top 10?!

 

[andyc]

Hahaha. Quite possibly the worst list I've ever seen.

Watto himself sums it up well, you feel

"What?" he asked when told. "Goodness me, that sounds wrong, sounds very wrong."

 

[robelinda]

Cronje and Hooper in the top 10?!

Agree. Both extremely average, Hooper in particular, he rivals Afridi in innings thrown away with a brainless shot.

 

[Migara]

Cronje and Hooper in the top 10?!

Hooper over Jaysuriya in ODIs.

LMAO!

Hahaha. Quite possibly the worst list I've ever seen.

Haha indeed.

 

[The Sean]

An Indian company coming up with a system that ranks Tendulkar 18th, which they intend to publicise. In India.

You have to admire their guts, if nothing else.

I was quite shocked to see Imran at number 2 in the ODI list and as I went down I started laughing at Cronje and Hooper in the top 10. LMAO

lol....true

 

[Debris]

Just noticed Bevan is missing from the list as well. Has this guy ever actually watched a cricket match?

[NUFAN]

It certainly makes CW's 50 best ODI's players of all time list look way more accurate.

CW top 50 ODI list was reasonably accurate

 

[agravity]

Every player who is playing well.... at present was 16th player some or the oder time

 

[Burgey]

Hooper over Jaysuriya in ODIs.

LMAO!

Jayasuriya so under rated in a lot of places for some reason. Man is a legend.

 

[Jono]

This list seems a very Teja/PrinceEWS type list tbh
