^ Yeah, if you take his bowling and batting together...I don't have the courage to say better, but equal? Yeah.
Wonder everyone forgot Steve Waugh. Hes much better than anyone after your number 5's.
Looks more like a Molla Nasiruddin....![]()
OMG, what a joke!Their has been many great batsmen that have played test cricket in both past and present era.
But some of them stands out and are legendary.
As One day cricket was not played very long back it would be unfair to make an assessment based on both One day and Test.So to maintain fairness this assessment is based purely on Tests.
Here is my choice of 10 Greatest batsmen of past and present.
1. Sir Donald Bradman
2. Sachin Tendulkar & Brian Lara
3. Sir Gary Sobers & Sir Vivian Richards
4. George Headley
5. Sunil Gavaskar & Rahul Dravid(N)
6. Sir Jack Hobbs
7. Greg Chappell
8. Steve Waugh & Ricky Ponting
9. Kevin Peterson & Inzamamul Haq(Add On)
10. Martin Crowe
What are Reader’s choice?
I look forward to a spontaneous response.
Good Luck and Cheers!
OMG, what a joke!
I had to double check myself that I was indeed reading a first post on test best X.
:dies:
My best test XI would be
Sir Don
Tendulkar
Hobbs
Headley
Hutton
Lara
Chappell
Richards
Weekes
Sobers

1. Instead of giving such statements like Dravid > sachin or Dravid is a an alltime top 10 batsman, you can atleast provide some basis for stating so. Ie, why you would prefer Dravid over any of the 10 I mentioned in my post.Dude, Dravid can make a claim for one of the top 10 test batsman. It's purely subjective when it comes to determining the top batsmen in the history of the game considering how many players there have been. How can you claim any past cricketers are better unless you've seen them? There's no way to quantify who is better. I for one, think Dravid is better than Sachin in Tests. Maybe Inzamam is a stretch, but certainly not Dravid.

2. It is of course subjective, but the when the subjectivity is supported by valid arguments, it becomes the truth.
