No way SRT is the second best cricketer of all time. Maybe batsman but as overall cricketer, he really should be behind the likes of Imran, Sobers hell even Hadlee. As a matter of fact, why isn't Sir Richard in the top 10??

U19 Captain
That list has some of the most relevant names but I can't agree with that order.

I'd probably go something like:

Sobers
Bradman
Khan
Richards
Warne
McGrath
Tendulkar
Murali
Kallis

the 10th spot is difficult - Hadlee? Marshall? Lara? Ponting?

Tough call.

Pointless discussion as people will always pull towards a more modern era.

Then most people alive haven't seen anything other than that. Of which very few might be cricket fans to pass opinion.

You badly need a now joke/meme for 2017. The AB thing was kind of amusing in a Burgey-sort-of-way the first 73 times, but sadly wearing as thin as his former mate Greg Matthew's real hair.

Always subjective, but difficult to argue too much with this list. Probably just replace Sanga with Sachin.

Lol, nah, a new Australian player/meme/joke would be suffice to hammer to death in 2017, & then we can once again review at the end of 2017 :)

No offence intended, & please don't think of it as an overly serious issue, it's really not. Just a subtle point about the same joke being done to death. Don't get me wrong, it was hilarious the first 50 or so times.
