Trumper at 25 and Hill at 41 is insane. And yeah you hate the Pakistani batsmen.

And yeah you hate the Pakistani batsmen.
I actually used to have Miandad pretty high but reading lots of books recently made me just stop rating his home runs, atleast Imran had the excuse of bowling on the flattest wickets on planet earth against elite batting lineups and had to do something to survive, Miandad I can't understand why he cheated, also think he had a very generous home schedule and me not respecting him at all as a person leads to me not being very kind to him in my judgement, it might be pretty similar to your perception of Jimmy but mine is way more severe of Miandad.

If that in any way influences your opinion of him as a batsman to the slightest, do not think your opinion can be taken seriously.

Hazare is nowhere near 52. He isn't better than Sehwag.

But I respect you for overrating him, and Merchant to some extend.
Hazare>Sehwag. Sehwag was really only good at home and Hazare averages almost 70 there in Tests and similar in FC. Can't be compared in Australia and England.

Don't spoil the environment. I also rate Hazare above Sehwag. I'm just being a dick.

Seriously tho, Shouldn't Hazare be lower? I certainly don't rate him that close to top 50.
