Best Cricketers of All Time

He never wore a helmet and played in an era of great fast bowling, when fast bowlers were not limited to 1 bouncer an over. Had a Test Batting ave. Of 50 and a strike rate of 70. An absolute fearless genius unlike the modern batmen covered in full armor.

West indian master piece batsmens, whom was always a nightmare for bowlers, his one hand contributions made a great part of Caribbean dominance at 1975-1983

Got every bowlers and fielders tired by his amazing batting

No one dominated a very high quality bowling attack as Vivian Richards.
I see only one person who was as good against the same quality bowlers. Sunil Gavaskar

One of the best spin bowler the world has ever seen. His performances have made Australia the best cricketing nation of the world he will be remembered as the best spin bowler ever and will be a inspiration for teen cricketers

Ha no doubt the best legspinner in the world cricket arena. The man who has bowled the Ball of the century. Undoubtedly he is the best ever spinner anyone can see!

Brilliant player no doubt and magic to watch. Pity he never scored that century but footage shows he was dismissed on a no ball. His bowling was all class.

Australian leg spinning legend whom is well known for googlies. His googly is always an unexpected customer for batsmens.

Brian lara the god of cricket he should be first best individual in making high scores and including everything else remember 401 not out

he has the highest individual score the world record in test and first clao and is also a match winner, one of the greatest batsman ever

Lara is undoubtedly the best, his records are proof.

He was just the best, and his record speaks for it self. He help make west indies better and got the hiestest indevidual score not once but two times, who can beat that mabe another west Indian

Best all-rounder I have ever seen play

Not the best batsman, bowler or fielder but put those stats together and he is the best cricket player of all time

Shouldn't be this low

The breaker of partnerships, scorer of centuries. king of the South

Glenn McGrath, the most intelligent bowler ever.

Class. Perfect technique and menacing pace at times. He could also hit that 5 cent piece on the same spot every ball. Wonderful player. - smithy

No bowler was ever more accurate than him

Sunil Manohar Gavaskar was an Indian opener, a great captain. He was the best opener of 70, S.

He is the best cricket player of all time. Against the west indies, he showed that no one can frustrate him. He was known as little master, because he was 5'6" and and an amazing batsman.

C'mon. Dont place him here. He has broken Bradman's record

Before my time really but agree he was great. - smithy

Murali is a better spin bowler than shane warne

class act. he is the all time great bowler in cricket history

Sri lankan off spinning legend whom holds the record of most number of wickets in cricket. He is well known for his doosra

The best bowler ever

The best skipper we have ever had. You would be wise to consider him the very best in many ways. He is a real champion. His cut shots were excellent and he was a great spinner as well. - smithy

Gilly not in top 5? You're sick!

Adam Gilchrist is known as the best wicket-keeper batsman of all time. He has the highest strike rate in all the three formats. He is also the most impressive cricketer ever. His each and every shot is unforgettable. He is the best ever.

Adam gilchrist all ways is my favourite he should be in a much better position then sachin. A much better player

VERY BAD PLACE. NO.14 IS UNBELIEVABLE.
HE SHOULD BE IN number 1 POSITION. You don't know anything about cricket. IF YOU KNOW HE SHOULD NOT BE IN NO.14.

He is the greatest player of all time after don and master. Why is he no.17?

Truly the best if you evaluate complete sport. Batting, bowling and fielding.

Don't forget, he's the first man to hit 6 6s in 1 over.

By a mile the best ever. Amazing batsman, bowled EVERYTHING from spin, swing, seam, you name it. - sloanies

Made India win their first World Cup. Is there any more doubt?

What An Allrounder... 434 Test Wickets At A Time When Bowlers Dreaming Of 200 Wickets. - tayal5001

Please be serious, must be at 4th position over Stupid Dale Steyn and Stupid Shahid Afridi and Stupid Shakib al hasan and shane watson etc.

Kapil dev is a great player he has to be in 2nd or 1st position
Kapil dev could just bowl every ball to stump and get wickets

19! Really are you even following cricket guys? He is definitely one of the best if not the best cricketers of all time in terms of all the aspects you can think of! It would be real injustice if he is not ranked up in the top 5

The greatest because he made heaps of runs and competed with sachin while being a captain. Sachin was never a good captain. He wilts under pressure. He scores when all is well. Ponting made century is world cup final. Sachin can never handle pressure.

this list sucks... ricky ponting should be on the top... he is easily better than sachin... and who the hell puts afridi in top 10 he should be the last one... improve it man...

He is the all time greatest all round cricketer of all time in terms of skills, intelligence and wits. No one can match the prowess Ponting posses.

West Indian opening legend. The greatest captain and legend cricket had ever seen.

This man opened up the doors for the likes of Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni and Raina, in the sense that Indians were no longer seen for their submissive and slow batting but rather coming out with a bang with full aggression. More than his stats, he will always be remembered as the best entertainer of his times.

The nawab of najafgarh is an awesome batsman & an underrated bowler with a calm & cool head

One of most aggressive player in history of cricket

An excellent batsmen at the top of the order. The greatest explosive batsmen that I have known, good and attentive in the field. Virender sehwag is an outstanding cricketer all-round.

He is a brilliant spinner

He know what is his job and he perform his job very well

Spin Master. He delivers the ball magically! Inventor of the TEESRA

Saed ajmal is the best bowler of the world. He is best as he bowl the doosra and now he has invented the teesra. So vote him

JHONTY ROCKS
HE IS THE BEST FIELDER.
He is the unsung hero I guess. There should be a list for all time fielders also because fielding is the one that win matches many times...

The no 1 fielder. No 30 Batsmen. No 1 cricketer HE ROCKS OO!

He is the best fielder ever...

World number 1 and outstanding fielder

Michael Clarke should at least be in the top 5 grea captain

I agree with Raghav, he should be in first position!
He is a fantastic example of how to behave both as a man and a first class cricketer, kind, respectful and completely brilliant!
A TRULY CLASS ACT!

Kumar Sangakkara is not just Sri Lankas best batsman and keeper he is a true gentle man I know because I am from Sri Lanka and from his home town

Not a single batsman in the 1880s managed an average over 50. Among batsmen with 10+ innings, WG in fact had the second highest average. This was due to the low quality of pitches, which meant that scoring was much harder. Since run-scoring went up drastically in the early 1910s, when obtaining a 50+ average was feasible, we cannot compare Grace to modern players in terms of pure batting average. Also, he played far more first class cricket, which was the main format at the time. At the end of 1895, he had scored 43265 first class runs, more than twice that of Walter Read, who was second on that list. His best years came before test cricket, from 1868 to 1880. To judge him by his test average is unfair.

50% of the players above him are overrated because of modern bias (Umar Akmal and Martin Guptill, really? ). Shahid Afridi and MS Dhoni making the top 10 is an absolute joke. These are a mix of the most popular cricketers and some good ones. WG Grace is among the top run scorers and wicket takers in cricket history, so I'm going for him.

The best cricketer of the the 19th century

Best Batsman In The World
