Don't see how Imran can be second (name listed) when the only team of the above he makes is ours and there he barely edged out Hadlee for the spot.

Bradman, Sobers, Gilchrist, Marshall (locks)

Hobbs, Tendulkar (very close to being automatic)

Hobbs being close to the top tier, but the 3 options are very close. Tendulkar is all but a lock today, but Smith may be encroaching on the 4/5 spot.
The rest of the positions are totally up for grabs.

Overall as a cricketer. Is he a level ahead of someone like Sangakarra or Andy Flower? I think he is unique but on reflection I wouldnt put him in the top 10 ever.
I think Sangakkara is underrated tbh. Don't think I realised it until I saw Butcher trying to keep to Murali. I knew it would be a challenge, being unaccustomed and all, but he made it look like rocket science.
