Jadeja would have a good shout. Batting average of 35, bowling average of 24, and in the top 5 fielders of all time.

Which current players are/will be ATGs?

Is that true though? A great fielder definitely. But top 5 of all time? Wouldn't buy that.

The thread asks who "will" be an ATG in the future.
Case-1:- Jadeja is an ATG already. So, he doesn't count.
Case-2:- He is not an ATG already. In that case, he has zero chance of becoming one in the remaining days of his career.
So, Don't think Jadeja is the answer either way.
Edit:- ok the thread asks are/will. Then Jadeja is fair imo.

We've had plenty of greats, but I can't think of anyone I'd put over him. Obviously it isn't something we can quantify with metrics, but he does things that other players can't do.

But all time? That's a stretch.

Who are the candidates that would be above him? The best I've seen are Rhodes, Ponting, De Villiers, Glenn Phillips, Chris Jordan, and I wouldn't put any definitively above him.
Happy to leave it as 'elite fielder' to remove the controversy, it doesn't really change that his fielding is a huge asset.

Not close.

Bumrah is easily the best Indian quick ever and is not even remotely close. The second pick pace bowler for an Indian AT XI would be Kapil Dev. I'm very ready to call him an ATG and one of the best quicks I've seen, only behind a few West Indians, South Africans and McGrath.

Quite a few Pakistanis too.

Only really Wasim and arguably Waqar (though I rate Bumrah better).

Technically I have but I don't really remember much of the 80s cricketers except Marshall and Garner. But not enough to really include them.

Respectable. This is not in order, right?

Why wouldn't it be in order?

Didn't know you rate Bishop that highly. But fair enough.

He was basically the difference between the West Indies 92/93 and the West Indies 95. Very underrated bowler who would be considered more highly if he wasn't so injury prone or played for a different country.

If we're including Bishop, what are your thoughts on Bond? All time great for me, just didn't have enough matches to be counted.
