Rate these players out of 10 in tests solely?

[Lillian Thomson]

I think they all hover between 7 and 8 except KP who hovers between a prick and a dick.

what he gets up to in his love life isn't relevant imo

You could do it like the Mohs scale. The difference in hardness between Diamond (10) and Corundum (9) is much greater than that between all the other minerals.

So the best players after Bradman get nine, and you simply need to remember how big the gap is.

This is possibly the most Cricketweb post ever.

 

[JBMAC]

Bradman played in a different era to these guys. Unless you've seen him play today, there's no need to drag him into this.

Well I have Burner, Bradman is definitely a 10

 

[Kirkut]

Are we rating players here or glorifying Bradman? I'm confused.

 

[Starfighter]

We're rating players. The glorification is just a side effect.

 

[Chrish]

de Villiers is such a gifted player! Pity we didn't get to see the best of him. Would have loved to see him in Australia and England.

 

[TheJediBrah]

nobody who makes it to tests should really get 3 or under

Mitch Marsh?

This really goes without saying. Otherwise if Bradman is 10 then no one else would get above 5.

 

[Victor Ian]

I rate players

'@#%' '&^$' '!@#!@' '%^&##&'

 

[Athlai]

10 is Bradman
1 is me

Most Test players are 8-9, most FC players are probably 5+

 

[ankitj]

Bradman does kinda ruin it

Bradman is a conspiracy. Just like moon landing. Never happened.

 

[Gnske]

Reminder Bradman is only a 9 and this premise is a sham.

 

[weeman27bob]

Bradman is an 8.

As in the 8th best player of all time.

0 - Maisey
1 - Athlai
2 - *****
3 - social jr
4 - Burgeinho
5 - Goughy
6 - JBMAC
7 - JimmyGS
8 - Martin Crowe
9 -
10 -

 

[TheJediBrah]

Bradman is a 7.

Maybe if he worked out a bit and did his hair in a stylish manner he'd be an 8 or a 9

 

[weldone]

Alastair Cook - 7
Hashim Amla - 8
AB de Villiers - 7.5
Michael Clarke - 7
Kevin Pietersen - 7.5

 

[RK_123]

Alastair Cook - 7
Hashim Amla - 8
AB de Villiers - 7.5
Michael Clarke - 7
Kevin Pietersen - 7.5

Finally, we got someone sticking to the point.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Cook is a strange one. He is so unwatchable he fills out the bars and is not naturally talented yet by stripping away his strokeplay to two-three shorts, and for attritional perseverance alone, he has sort of budged his way among the greats. He has found something which works for him and sticks to it. But jesus, a Cook innings is dull. Cook, Strauss and Trott!! England bored oppositions to death during that era.

 

[Adders]

Cook, Strauss and Trott!! England bored oppositions to death during that era.

What we wouldn't give to have that as a top 3 now.

 

[MW1304]

Fills out the bars is now a defunct saying considering you can watch cricket in bars.
