How would you rate Kumar Sangakkara?

[Pluto]

Where would you place him in a list of ATG Test batsmen? Would he get into your list if you had to pick the top 25 Test cricketers (not just batsmen) of all time?

 

[cnerd123]

A legend. One of the greatest of all time. Will forever be in the discussion of the greatest batsmen, not of just his generation, but of all generations.



And you get to watch him play in the HKT20 Blitz starting this Wednesday, free to watch all over the world in HD on Youtube. How amazing an opportunity is that?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Greatest batsman of the past 20 years. Of the blokes who've debuted post 2000,he's easily the best. Top 15 or so all time.

 

[Burgey]

Very very very highly

 

[Pluto]

I can't see him in CW top 50 edition 2 done in 2012. Where would you place him now?

 

[Pluto]

I added a poll.

 

[ankitj]

not just batsmen

Damn. I just voted on the basis of batsmen alone.

 

[Watson33]

Carried a nation for over a decade. Converts starts into massive scores. One of the absolute ATG.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Of those I've seen the careers of, he's in the top few batsmen. Not a bad fielder and great catching, behind the stumps and in the field. Have enjoyed some of his sledges too

 

[fredfertang]

distinctly useful

How would you rate Kumar Sangakkara?

On his looks.

 

[mr_mister]

smith will surpass him

 

[Top_Cat]

"Did okay, could have scored more if he just applied himself a bit." - his Dad.

 

[vcs]

Didn't watch enough of him batting. An ATG by any definition.

 

[cnerd123]

On his looks.

smith will surpass him

No he won't

Didn't watch enough of him batting. An ATG by any definition.

I know of a great opportunity for you to rectify that...

 

[andruid]

Better than Bopara obviously

 

[Teja.]

Only Lara and SRT better in the last 25 years.

 

[viriya]

I think the question should have been ATG Test batsmen - people define cricketers in weird ways so the poll results will be all over the place.

I think he is a top 5 ATG Test batsman - I put him clearly behind only Bradman, in the Sachin + Lara tier.

 

[Furball]

I love him.

 

[akilana]

My fav batsman ever but gets overrated in CW. In the last 25 years only Lara, Sachin, Ponting, Kallis and Dravid were better.
