Line and Length
Cricketer Of The Year
That which I have highlighted certainly applies to me. I leave it to others to nominate current players. I overlook them as I like to consider a player's career in its entirety before evaluating them.

Definitely agree on how overrated he is. Far and away the most overrated cricketer in general public. If Dhoni belonged to any other country, Guy wouldn’t be talked about even 5 percent of what he is now.
Fine player but a long shot away from ATG status.

He needed to be a fossil and a non Indian for you to rate him higher.

State Vice-Captain
If he was an Australian or from any other country he still wouldn’t be any high. I don’t have Ian Healy, Rod Marsh or Dujon, even Ames as an ATG just like Dhoni. Knott is like 50/50 and tbh I don’t think anyone beside Gilchrist is an ATG either.

My TOP 10 as of now
More weightage provided to fair play, multi format brilliance, batting( the most difficult discipline), longevity & pressure factor.
1 Jaques Kallis ... GOAT all rounder
2. Don Bradman ...99.94 average GOAT batsman
3. Adam Gilchrist .... GOAT keeper (no player in the history of cricket can claim to be at least border line ATG in 2 disciplines, that too in 2 formats
4. Shaun Pollock - 2nd best all rounder.
5. Viv Richards - 2nd GOAT batsman
6. Glenn Mcgrath - GOAT bowler
7. Sachin Tendulkar - 3rd GOAT batsman
8 .Kapil Dev ....3rd best all rounder
9. Dale Steyn ---2nd GOAT bowler
10. Virat Kohli ... 3rd GOAT batsman ----nearly 50 average in all 3 formats. Needs to maintain his test credentials till the end of his career to remain at 10th position.

You probably shouldn't be allowed to have cricketing opinions if you're this wilfully stupid imo.

Please take it to a separate Bradman thread ffs. This thread is a vote for 100 best cricketers don't clutter it with irrelevant debates it must make counting the votes a pain.

And Dhoni is easily a top tier ODI ATG. Purely as a bat the very worst he is in the top 10(top 6-7 for me). Was the best bat in the world and amazing at his peak. His record at number 3 is amazing besides the other stuff that regularly gets mentioned. It’s nice that India has 4 bats in the top 10 ODI bats ever. And he’s in the running for the GOAT ODI captain and a pretty good WK.
I would say only three. Tendulkar (2nd), Kohli (3rd) and Dhoni (somewhere in the 5-8 range) would be for me but Sharma who I have as the fourth greatest Indian ODI bat would be outside for me. Easily top 20 and likely top 15 but not top 10.

5 players have average in the range of 56-60 and the next best is 45..... Interesting.

Viv averages 60 or so if not for the run limit(understandable given the number of matches in WCs at his time).

how the **** does Warner average 56?
