I like your list. I'd probably swap Smith & Lara as well as Kallis & Ponting. Plus move Gavaskar into the top 10. And Sanga below Chappell and Waugh.

Interesting to see my own list from over 2 Years ago. For new changes

1. D.G Bradman (=)

2.Jack Hobbs (=)
3.Sachin Tendulkar (+2)
4. Garfield Sobers (=)
5. Steve Smith (-2)
6. Brian Lara (+2)
7. Len Hutton (=)
8. Walter Hammond (+1)
9. Viv Richards (-3)
10.Herbert Sutcliffe (+4)
11.Sunil Gavasker (+7)
12.Ricky Ponting (-1)
13.George Headley (-3)
14. Greg Chappell (+5)
15.Graeme Pollock
16.Jacques Kallis (-1)
17.Kumar Sangakarra (-5)
18.Allan Border (+2)
19.Ken Barrington
20. Steve Waugh

Sutcliffe, Gavasker, Sachin, Pollock have risen in my eyes tbh. Viv probably despite a great player I think is slightly overrated.

@capt_Luffy wont like the removal of Trumper.

Despite Gavaskar rising a whooping 7 spots and Weekes confusing me, the previous list was much better imo.

If just Tests and not looking at cultural contribution to the game, then take out Trumper/Ranji/Barry for Kohli/May/Root
