Bradman
Warne

Richards

Just jotted down the first 5 in my head. For me, Bradman and Warne are dead certs, the rest are changeable.

Bradman.O,Reilly,Sobers, Warne,Headley
AND just in case someone questions The Black Bradman(Headley) of the first 22 Test centuries scored by The West Indies, he scored 10 of them. He was known also in the WI as Atlas

Because of Bradman, this is really a "Who rates 2-5 in test history", isn't it?

Surprised that some people aren't picking Sobers, though.

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.
I'll take the same, with the exact same reasoning. Thanks mate! :)
