A view (how you score doesn't matter) which is disconnected with ground realities of the game.

How you score does matter. But to the extent it matters, it matters in a way that then makes you score more runs. If you're not scoring more runs then how the **** is it helping?

Wow. No Viv or even Smith in the top tier. What a farce of a list already sorry to say.

It does matters, you need your openers to remove the shine while scoring a decent but if runs.

What about helping your entire lineup score runs?

Precisely why this 'runs are just runs' view is nonsense.

I mean, that's the reason anchors are a must in any team....

Not getting into the Lara vs Tendulkar discussion but that series was famous among Indian fans for the incorrect/unfortunate dismissals for Sachin.

And also precisely that both have ups and downs....

Is that the one with the shoulder lbw?? Not sure which series it was from but my father has talked about that a fair few times...

Whatever it takes!!!
Really only one IIRC..
You may be right. There are a lot of different opinions out there.
This one (link below) puts Kohli four places ahead of Bradman who ranks number 7.
Top-10 Greatest Batsmen of All-time in Cricket | Best Batsman in the World 2024 - Cricnerds
Here's a look at the top-10 greatest batsmen of all time. There are multiple contenders for the best batsman of the world, but it's tough to pick a solitary name among some of the greats of the game.

Top tier doesn't end at 6th.

Yes it was in that series.. Wrong end of a couple of Bucknor decisions I think apart from the shoulder before wicket.

Agree with you that Viv really should've been top 5 and have also been voting that way. But 7 is not too low or non top tier too.

3 . This is the first one
This is the third one
Won’t bother posting shoulder before wicket one .

The shoulder one was probably out. Marginal though.
He copped a shocker from Bucknor in 04 at Brisbane and one in Perth in 08 series when he was playing a brilliant innings.

Yeah.. as I said only one I recall in 2004.

On Smith, I was in awe of him too till last year. But till he picks himself back to his peak form again, 2022 ranking of 10 for him looks fine to me. He might most probably end up few places higher this time.
