Top 25 cricketers of Shane Warne's Career - as decided by CW

[Matteh]

You can't put more than 2 Warwickshire Players in a list apparently.

 

[shortpitched713]

11. Kumble
12. S. Waugh
13. Dev
14. Akram
15. Border

More than 0 TBH.

 

[Matteh]

Can't not have Brian Lara in there tbh.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

1. McGrath
2. Lara
3. Warne
4. Steve Waugh
5. Murali
6. Ambrose
7. Ponting
8. Dravid
9. Tendulkar
10. Gilchrist

Tough on Donald and a couple of others. Just couldn't squeeze them in.

Alright, the rest of my 15:

11. Donald
12. Wasim
13. Kallis
14. Pollock
15. Hayden

I was actually sorely tempted to include Bevan, simply because this list also encompasses ODIs, but virtually every other player on the list was good in both forms (aside from perhaps Waugh), so he missed out. Andy Flower also just misses out.

 

[speirz]

1. Sachin Tendulkar
2. Wasim Akram
3. Brian Lara
4. Shane Warne
5. Muttiah Muralitharan
6. Jacques Kallis
7. Allan Donald
8. Curtley Ambrose
9. Courtney Walsh
10. Ricky Ponting
11. Andy Flower
12. Sanath Jayasuria
13. Steve Waugh
14. Micheal Atherton
15. Anil Kumble

I've undoubtedly forgotten someone.

 

[Xuhaib]

This is going to be fascinating and when do we stop taking anymore lists, though heavyweights such as adharcric, Matt 79, Sanz, Fraz and few others still have to post.

 

[Dasa]

1. Murali
2. Tendulkar
3. Lara
4. Warne
5. Wasim
6. Ambrose
7. McGrath
8. Dravid

1. Murali

[The Sean]

1. Shane Warne
2. Sachin Tendulkar
3. Brian Lara
4. Glenn McGrath
5. Mutthiah Muralitharan
6. Wasim Akram
7. Curtley Ambrose
8. Ricky Ponting
9. Adam Gilchrist
10.Allan Donald

Not too different from everyone else's really - S Waugh and Dravid both desperately unlucky. I've only judged the players on their careers between 1991-2007 rather than anything that went before, hence no Border or Kapil.

11. Steve Waugh
12. Rahul Dravid
13. Waqar Younis
14. Andy Flower
15. Shaun Pollock

Still would have loved to have found a spot for Walsh, Heals, Cairns and a few others, but this will have to do.

 

[Ikki]

1) Warne
2) McGrath
3) Lara
- Sachin
- Murali
- Ponting
- Gilchrist
- Hayden
9) Ambrose
10) Daryll Cullinan

 

[honestbharani]

u r really messing this up giving equal 3rd to all those guys, Kazo.

 

[Chubb]

1. Andy Flower
2. Murali
3. Lara
4. Warne
5. Flintoff
6. Pietersen
7. Dravid
8. Chanderpaul
9. Chris Cairns
10. Ambrose
11. Ponting
12. Heath Streak
13. Tatenda Taibu
14. Ray Price
15. Stuart Carlisle (reduced Warne to bawling expletives at him during an ODI once)

You see when I'm in the old people's home when I think back to this era I won't be thinking about many of the top ten, I'll be thinking about Zimbabwe.

[silentstriker]

It's getting ridiculous now. How do you NOT include McGrath. :/

 

[Richard]

Because there were better bowler than him, 2 IMO.

All the same, not having him in a top-15 is going a bit far.

Anyway, I'm out, TBH - discount my previous thing, this is really too difficult.

Is that your:

a) Joke list
b) "Personal favourites" list
c) Actual serious list of who you consider are the 15 best cricketers of the past decade and a half?

Because it's hard to tell.
