Please provide proof of the 3 bad decisions against Lara. I dont believe you @honestbharani .
Think they are rightly behind Bradman, Sachin, Hobbs, Sobers, Hutton. I have them both behind Lara as well, though that one is arguable I suppose.Wow. No Viv or even Smith in the top tier. What a farce of a list already sorry to say.
It ain't actually for Viv tho I will grant Smiths position is dynamic at the moment.Think they are rightly behind Bradman, Sachin, Hobbs, Sobers, Hutton. I have them both behind Lara as well, though that one is arguable I suppose.
Both strong contenders for top 10 slots which, you know, is pretty high.
I have posted 3 controversial decisions from 1999 . Look your earlier postThe 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.
When Bucknor umpires, India were always playing against 12. The Indian batsmen always had to be at the peak of their focus, any ball hits their pads and they were gone, doesn't matter if the ball goes on to hit the stumps or not.I have posted 3 controversial decisions from 1999 .
It wasn’t Buckner . And all were marginal decisions. So I will say Sachin was unlucky.When Bucknor umpires, India were always playing against 12.

It actually does. Bradman is in a league of his own so it's effectively top five. Not having Viv up there (who used to be a closely fought with Tendulkar once upon a time) in an all-time list looks so odd if he is below Hutton, Lara. And the worst thing is that I know the undeclared judgment on CW is basically if Viv averages 52 instead of 50 he would have auto jumped up a couple places.Top tier doesn't end at 6th.
Yeah just looked at the videos. The one in Sydney looks quite high. He's on his toes and the ball is way over the knee roll. Bit rough.View attachment 39872View attachment 39873

Won’t bother posting shoulder before wicket one .
I won't personally have Len ahead of Viv, but saying Lara is unacceptable is moronic.It actually does. Bradman is in a league of his own so it's effectively top five.

Frankly just spoils the exercise, it's like doing a the bowlers list and putting Marshall at 4 or 5. List doesn't hold much legitimacy after an infraction like that. At least gets the basics right.
its only natural that this happens lolYou may be right. There are a lot of different opinions out there.
This one (link below) places 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.cricnerds.com
"If a player had done better than they actually did, they would have been ranked slightly higher than they are" isn't exactly a damning critique on the exercise.It actually does. Bradman is in a league of his own so it's effectively top five.

He often coped poor decisions away from home especially in Australia.The shoulder one was probably out. Marginal though.

I think this is the worst one actually. The umpire should've known there was no way Warne could actually get Sachin out. What an idiot.The adelaide one is below.
Definitely didn't hit it, you're right.
So you don’t consider Wasim and Donald top tier ? Because they came at 9th and 12th iirc .It actually does. Bradman is in a league of his own so it's effectively top five.

Yea there were upto 3 poor decisions in that 99 series out of his 6 innings. People wonder why Tendulkar doesn't have any 'super standout' series during his peak, when in fact poor decisions as well as marginal decisions were a regular theme during his career. He was the most popular player ever and people were bitter and couldn't digest how good and gifted and technically perfect he was. Like Messi/Federer.View attachment 39872View attachment 39873

You may be literally the only person in the cricket observing world who considers it illegitimate to rank Lara over Richards - I’m sure others would share your opinion but only you in your wild biases would consider it beyond the paleIt actually does.
