Assuming we were to ignore records for a second, and ignore Bradman, would be the top ten cricketers based on achieving the highest peer/pundit rating of their times?

What would be a peer rating ranking?

Viv, Sachin, Warne, Akram, Hobbs, Marshall would be in the top ten definitely

How much would this list differ from Wisden list at the end of the millennium?

I think Sachin would make the top 5, instead of Warne or Viv probably

Sachin played in a high scoring era.
His average drops to about 51 when you apply a factor which takes account the overall average of players during his career.
Obviously a great batsman regardless, and of course his run scoring is phenomenal.

Reckon you've fundamentals misunderstood the point of this thread with those picks. Guys like Kanhai and May have stronger peer reputations than those two.

It doesn't mention reputations though.
Although I was daft to include Pollock.
Also, although I just used my stats analysis, thinking about it Barnes and Loughmann would probably be up there.

He averaged 58 in the 90s, which was surely not a high scoring era. Also unprecedented longevity, and domination across conditions

More the 2000s.
This is the average runs per wicket in each decade:
1880s 19.38
1890s 25.25
1900s 25.09
1910s 27.55
1920s 33.42
1930s 32.69
1940s 35.78
1950s 28.60
1960s 32.28
1970s 32.81
1980s 32.65
1990s 31.65
2000s 34.18
2010s 32.66
OA 32.09 (to end of 2019)
I don't think my selections are right in fairness. I was just doing it based on some stats I did previously, but I wasn't really applying them with much thought.

He averaged more in the 90s than the 2000s though.

Not the order, but 100% agree with the names

Excluding Bradman? Chronologcally then.. won’t be a top 10
Trumper
Barnes
Hobbs
O’Reilly
Hutton
Miller
Sobers
Pollock
Lillee
Imran
Richards
Botham
Wasim
Tendulkar
Lara
Warne
de Villiers
Anderson
note: Some of these aren’t necessarily the exact top players, some of these are just notable players whose peer rating far exceeds their records... (particularly the last two). I think at stages of their careers both Smith and Kohli may have also fallen into this category but not currently - peer rating is also a bit harder to define recently, we see far more media and statistical analysis compared to players opinions these days.

Peer ranking is literally mostly reputation mate.
