On a boring day, I thought of making my personal list of 50 best cricketers that played the game since 1970 onwards. Test cricket remains the prioritised format but have given a decent bit of space for great all format international players too in my collection.
Top 50 test cricketers since 1970:-
Australia(12) :-
Lillee, McGrath, Warne, Cummins
Chappell, Border, S Waugh, Ponting, Smith, Gilchrist, Hayden, Starc
England(5) :-
Botham, Root, Anderson, Cook, Stokes
Windies (9) :-
Marshall, Ambrose, Holding, Garner, Roberts
Viv Richards, Lara, Greenidge, Lloyd
South Africa (7) :-
Donald, Steyn, Pollock, Rabada
Kallis, AB de Villiers, G Smith
India (8) :-
Kapil Dev, Bumrah
Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Dravid, Kohli
Ashwin, Jadeja
Pakistan (5):-
Imran, Wasim, Waqar
Miandad, Younis
SL(2) :- Murali, Sangakkara
NZ(2) :- Hadlee, Williamson
Honourable mentions - Andy Flower, Virender Sehwag, Shiv Chanderpaul, Bob Willis, Kevin Pietersen, Hashim Amla, Michael Clarke and probably a lot more. I would be happy to know what Cricket web forum feels about this.
