Not disagreeing with much there, does not compare all that well to a similar list of those that made their debut in the 90s although obviously a fair few names there have many years left in them.Quite sure on the top 3, after that I'm easy.
1. Dale Steyn
2. Kumar Sangakkara
3. Virender Sehwag
4/5. Kevin Pietersen / Michael Clarke / AB De Villiers
Gilchrist misses the criteria by 2 months, otherwise I'd likely have him no.1.
Dhoni is the greatest odi wk everWould Dhoni's ODI performances put him in with a shout?
Yeah, I guess. The bloke took his side to the no.1 Test nation and then won the World Cup too, and it's not like it's really up to us what makes Dhoni good. That said, it is something of an unwritten rule that we mean Tests unless said otherwise.Would Dhoni's ODI performances put him in with a shout?
Clarke can end as an ATG.Not disagreeing with much there, does not compare all that well to a similar list of those that made their debut in the 90s although obviously a fair few names there have many years left in them.
Don't really go in for the term but I think de Villiers is actually more likely, either way none of those 3 Howe mentioned will be rated quite as high as Ponting, Lara, Dravid or Kallis.Clarke can end as an ATG.
Yeah, and that's why I think most of those players can end their careers with reputations such as Ponting, Tendulkar, Kallis, Donald etc...The fact that people have only debuted within the last 10 years means they haven't had a full career, and, therefore, don't pop up like the guys who made their debut's in the 90's.Not disagreeing with much there, does not compare all that well to a similar list of those that made their debut in the 90s although obviously a fair few names there have many years left in them.
