Lol, you can't post a bottom 3 and then post this.

Lol, you can't post a bottom 3 and then post this.

After I posted my 3 favorites I did my oppositional list. Hardly as off track as posting who you think the 3 best cricketers are skill-wise.

I suppose you can always dissociate the 'cricketer' from the 'individual'.

For instance, I am a mad admirer of Asif's cricketing ability to make the ball move off the seam and cut it both ways. His personality and character are despicable though. There's a difference!

Actually the Dravid pick was just because of the recent series, was never truly a favourite.

Updated:

Steyn
Sachin
Afridi

True, but I take both into account. The fact that most non-Englishmen hate Broad and everyone hates Watto suggests that most people do the same.

Mine are probably influenced quite a bit by what's happened in the last few series, but still:

England:
Anderson
Swann
Cook

Rest of World:
Dravid
M. Hussey
Amla

Yeah it will vary from person to person if they are able to dissociate the cricketer from the individual. I too was a big big fan of Asif's bowling (still am I think) but I really don't like the individual and I really don't want that trio back.
