Top 5 Players

[kyear2]

The original 5 chosed by Wisden were Bradman, Sobers, Warne, Richards and Hobbs.
If you had a vote and they held a re-vote today, who would you vote for.
One vote per person and we can do a tally when we have enough votes.

 

[kyear2]

My vote would be Bradman, Sobers, Tendulkar, Warne and Marshall

Felt that the Wisden list was too batsmen heavy, and after all bowlers are generally the match winners.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bradman, Sobers, Richards, Marshall, Warne

 

[Teja.]

Bradman, Imran, Miller, Sobers and Hadlee.

 

[Cevno]

Imran Khan,Don Bradman,Sachin Tendulkar,Malcolm Marshall,Muttiah Muralitharan

 

[BlazeDragon]

Bradman, Sobers, Mcgrath, Warne, Richards.

What are we voting for? The Wisden 5 were selected as the best from the 20th Century. And on that basis I wouldn't argue too much with their list. Go back further and Grace has to be selected. Bring it into the 21st century and maybe Tendulkar comes into the frame.

 

[kyear2]

20th Century and beyond, 1900-present.

 

[G.I.Joe]

Bradman, Sobers, Gilchrist, Sehwag, McGrath.

My five:

Bradman, the best of the best.

Sobers, best all-rounder ever.

Imran, best Asian cricketer, one of the best captains, bowlers, all-rounders, all in one.

Viv Richards, best batsman of the modern era.

Marshall, the best pace bowler ever.

Assuming it is till 1900-2011

Bradman
Imran Khan
Garfield Sobers
Viv Richards
Shane Warne

the last two can change on a given day

3. Imran Khan
4. Muttiah Muralitharan
5. Richard Hadlee

 

[NUFAN]

1 Don Bradman
2 Imran Khan
3 Garry Sobers
4 Malcolm Marshall
5 Shane Warne

 

[smash84]

1 Don Bradman
2 Imran Khan
3 Garry Sobers
4 Malcolm Marshall
5 Shane Warne

Quite similar to mine. Marshall didn't cross my mind or else he can take the place of Viv or Warne in my XI.

 

[weldone]

Bradman, Sobers, Hadlee, Marshall, Tendulkar

 

[Debris]

Bradman, Sobers, Trumper, Barnes, O'Reilly

seeing as how I can't select players before 1900.
