Top Five Cricketers from each country

[bagapath]

India:

The top 3 select themselves quite easily

1. Sunil Gavaskar
2. Kapil Dev
3. Sachin Tendulkar

The last two slots are difficult to lock. Any two of Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Vijay Merchant, Vijay Hazare, Bishan Bedi, Chandrasekar and Virender Sehwag could be slotted in easily. Even Erappalli Prasanna, Sourav Ganguly, Gundappa Viswanath and Mansur Ali Khan would be on the list of some romantics.

I am going for...

4. Mahender Singh Dhoni
5. Vinoo Mankad

 

[Test_Fan_Only]

Australia, perhaps, in no particular order after Bradman

Don Bradman, Keith Miller, Victor Trumper, Shane Warne, Denis Lillee

Bill O'Reilly, Adam Gilchrist and Glen McGrath very close as well.

I've already proven Clem Hill was identical to Trumper

Chokers of that magnitude are not allowed to be in the top five cricketers list. Put him in the 'top five chokers from each country' list.

Not sure if excluding Sobers was pun intended or just an unintentional miss.

 

[Dan]

Completely unintentional. Was entirely a vehicle for the Leach inclusion.

[Slifer]

Braddles, Hadlee, Imran and Tendulkar the most obvious ones

I think Sobers for the WI is pretty obvious as well.

 

[mr_mister]

Every member of the English top 5 should be from pre 1960, with the possible exception of Botham

 

[_Ed_]

Braddles, Hadlee, Imran and Tendulkar the most obvious ones

Read this as Brandes at first.

WAG.
