Most times I make one, Chappell makes my all time XI.Chappell a better batsman than both. I suspect Waigh is included because a lot of people on here are young enough that they think he's the embodiment of hardness, whereas AB taught him to be hard, but isn't as well remembered by the heathen swine on here.
Really? I think Ponting is easily a better batsman than either Waugh or Border.Most times I make one, Chappell makes my all time XI.
Waugh, Ponting, Border in that order as batsmen though, I think. But while I am too young to remember Border, I definitely think he gets overlooked. If I have a side that's trying to build, or a younger side, or one which I am looking to instill a sense of professionalism, hard work, etc, he would be first on my list.
haha.....yeah....Waugh does get rated because of his toughness....surprised to see him beat borderChappell a better batsman than both.

Ask any international cricketer who they would prefer to play against, Holding or Pollock, S. And I don't mean in terms of physical fear, I mean in terms of influencing the game.Had Greame Pollock at 18 and Greg Chappell at 22 from this lot. Surprised that both ended up this low. What this means is that Ponting, Waugh and Border are all ahead of Chappell! Wouldn't agree with that assessment. G Pollock's falling stocks are sad, he is my favorite batsman of all time.
Also does Holding get slightly overrated? It's difficult to see how a fast bowling all rounder like Shaun who lasted much longer is not comfortably ahead of him.
All champion cricketers at the end though.
And yes, Kohli the new Border.
Holding did play for 12 years didn't he?Also does Holding get slightly overrated? It's difficult to see how a fast bowling all rounder like Shaun who lasted much longer is not comfortably ahead of him.

Kohli is the closer to the new Kambli than he is the new Border.
Don't need to ask anyone, just watch this action:Ask any international cricketer who they would prefer to play against, Holding or Pollock, S. And I don't mean in terms of physical fear, I mean in terms of influencing the game.

Was to me. As good as any in the case for greatest after Bradman. He was my 4th highest rated specialist batsman.I thought Greg Chappell's ranking was a surprise
