Sir Viv voted the Greatest ODI Player

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Bevan

Underrated in the common discourse regarding ODIs agreed. One of the Australia’s two best ever

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

De Villiers remains imho the best ODI player / batsman of them all. Guy did things that defy description. I know you can talk about championship and those stuff but as a player I don’t believe there has ever been anyone better.
Guy was a freak.

In terms of potential and talent, best ever agreed

Sachin ahead of Virat as an ODI cricketer as: handy bowler + longevity + impact, solely as a batsman VK is around equal. And ABD ahead for keeping.

A bit late but Bumrah’s very low. Already two great WCs, great av and SR, but probably the best economy in context since Akram. He already will make my top 20 atleast

He haven't even played a 100 ODIs..... Tough to rate him ahead of say Ambrose. On the matches he played, I agree and had it been a favourites list, he would be Top 3. But still 47 is very low, will promote him a bit and also forgot about Starc.

Btw how many ODIs is enough for a modern bowler to be rated?

I was thinking around 150 non JAMODIs. Also, do you think Shami belongs in top 50-60 somewhere? The second best World Cup bowler of All Time imo. Can't make up my mind on him.

Surely does for me.

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Exactly I’m not sure

Ahead of Lee?

 

[HouHsiaoHsien]

Ahead of Lee?

Tough. But he has very good to exceptional in each of the last 3 WCs. Definitely comparable. Pretty good vs all oppositions except Australia, so better than Starc on the ground(although I will not obv rate him ahead of Starc). Good enough economy too, and even ann better SR than Starc Also gave an ATG performance in the semis vs NZ. Probably the best ODI bowler of this era behind Starc, and slightly ahead of Boult. So should make top 35 ODI cricketers atleast.

No one has played that many non-JAMODIs

In modern cricket ODIs are going to become a lot rarer too. It's not like the 90s/00s where you can play 250 ODIs in a 10 year career. It will be more like 5-10 games a year if you're lucky. ODIs might more or less die off completely over the next decade

Where would you rate Bumrah and Starc?
