Because many of us saw them all play and Ponting was betterAgain, I don't get the logic of having him ahead of Waugh, Border, Kallis and Sanga; i.e, aggression.
Like many of you considered Wasim better than McGrath? Or before that, Lillee over Hadlee? Or before that Kanhai over Sobers? Or even before that Trumper over Bradman??Because many of us saw them all play and Ponting was better
ermahgerd pretty bat I must worshipViv seriously getting robbed here
this will be the biggest divergence between this group and cricket cognoscenti who typically rate him in the top 4-5 of all time (justifiably in my view)
don’t think enough people saw him bat
I have thought any of those things.Like many of you considered Wasim better than McGrath? Or before that, Lillee over Hadlee? Or before that Kanhai over Sobers? Or even before that Trumper over Bradman??
But many people did.....I have thought any if those things.
The mere fact that people thought Trumper was as great or better than Bradman (yes some people did, even well into his career) calls many of these takes into question.But many people did.....
Lindsay Hassett for once believed that probably till his death....The mere fact that people thought Trumper was as great or better than Bradman (yes some people did, even well into his career) calls many of these takes into question.
Kohi shouldn’t be in top 25 .I’d have Ponting around 16 and Kohli around 21
and yours are better because?The mere fact that people thought Trumper was as great or better than Bradman (yes some people did, even well into his career) calls many of these takes into question.
They’re not based on who arouses me most whilst I watch them playand yours are better because?
It's insane. The clear far away no.1 bat of a ATG pace heavy era and yet CW somehow will downgrade him for not averaging a couple point higher.Viv seriously getting robbed here

So Hobbs, Tendulkar, Lara, Sobers and Smith over Viv is insane???It's insane. The clear far away no.1 bat of a ATG pace heavy era and yet CW somehow will downgrade him for not averaging a couple point higher.
Lara in the other hand is being propped up thanks to Viv's downgrading.
Lara yes. The rest justifiable.So Hobbs, Tendulkar, Lara, Sobers and Smith over Viv is insane???
Did even 1 bowling attack that Viv face had more than 1 ATG pacer ?It's insane. The clear far away no.1 bat of a ATG pace heavy era and yet CW somehow will downgrade him for not averaging a couple point higher.
