    It's not so difficult if you have read a fair bit of cricket history. Imran was a better bowler. I think Botham was a more naturally gifted batsman. But Imran was very effective with the bat late in his career.

    All-time Test XI

    Not many have been as successful as Tendulkar against all opponents in all conditions. Guy was incredibly consistent. Averaged 55 against Australia in a career that coincided with peak McGrath/Warne/Gillespie/MacGill.
