International Captain
Rank these 10 cricketers:-
Steve Smith
Joe Root
Kane Williamson
Ravichandran Ashwin
Younis Khan
Ravindra Jadeja
Shakib Al Hasan
Ben Stokes
Hashim Amla
Kevin Pietersen
Mostly batsmen in this list, but also some all-rounders. Are we ranking them as Test batsmen only, or as overall Test cricketers?

Smith and Ashwin are clearly 1 and 2, while Stokes and KP are clearly 9 and 10.

The rest are debatable to some extent.

Also I assume this is tests only.


Shakib and Amla are clearly the 2 best ODI players, with Williamson 3rd. If T20s are considered Shakib is the best white ball player in the list.

Ashwin vs Younis was a tough one. Both are ATGs that are a bit condition reliant compared to other ATGs but I chose Ashwin for his batting.

My Ranking would be-
1. Smith
2. Ashwin
3. Root
4. Jadeja
5. Younis Khan
6. Williamson
7. Shakib
8. Pietersen
9. Stokes
10. Amla
Younis should be above Root imo. Better century rate, better record up the order, better record in Aus, better longevity, and better against spin.

Rest of it looks good though.
