    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    I'm now more vexed about how they're going to finish the countdown before the World Cup starts (which I thought was the point) - the first match is on Thursday, and there are still four entries left!

    Sir I. V. A. Richards vs Sir Walter Hammond

    Wally - probably to his immense irritation - was never knighted.

    Geoffrey Boycott vs Gordon Greenidge

    Interesting results - Boycott finished a couple of places ahead of Greenidge in CW's most recent openers ranking, but Cuthbert is demolishing Geoffrey here.

    438 v 434 also a lock, surely.

    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    So there is one "unknown" left in the countdown - what are our final bets as to what it will be? A reminder of some of the matches which haven't found a spot yet: '87 Final '92 Semi '92 Final '96 Final '15 Semi

    This pleases me. A well-deserved entry.

    Bradman and Marshall or Sobers and Imran

    Yep, this was my rationale too. If it were literally any other batsman I'd have voted the other way.

    Bradman and Marshall or Sobers and Imran

    That's a good one.

    Needs this one. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/benson-hedges-world-series-cup-1980-81-60812/australia-vs-new-zealand-3rd-final-65317/full-scorecard

    Voges vs Bradman

    Bradman was only 5'8, Voges well over six feet. Voges was literally a bigger matchwinner.

    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    Great one. There were a few around then I think where Australia racked up huge scores and NZ kept chasing them down. That was the best of them though - I'd actually forgotten how much trouble the Kiwis were in during the early stages of that chase. Definitely a better game than quite a few of...

    Asian Games (September 19th- October 7th)

    That's a paddlin'.

    I assumed it would get a place, and it may well still do. Basically, there are three we know are locked in which means there are two spots still up for grabs in the top five.

    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    So I am thinking that they'll keep the three day gap to number five on Saturday - and then count down the top five day by day to finish on the eve of the World Cup?

    20 Greatest ODIs (by ESPNCricinfo)

    With each entry, the inclusion of De Villiers' (albeit extraordinary) knock gets more baffling. I assumed - as many of us did - that including that innings set a precedent for the inevitable listing of other even more celebrated individual performances (regardless of the quality of the overall...

    Seriously though, yeah there's been overkill on India matches and a couple of their entries probably shouldn't be there. But Kapil's match isn't one of them.

    They haven't put it in yet...

    Andrew Flintoff vs Matthew Hoggard vs Steve Harmison

    I'm more concerned with your devaluation of the word legend than I am the location of the thread.

    Instances of highly rated bowlers having below par series

    Clarrie Grimmett in 1932/33 - 5 wickets at 65.20.

    Which is the Strongest World XI Ever Assembled?

    Interesting as the discussion is, what it mainly does is annoy me all over again for the thousandth time that the 1970 and 1971/72 series' don't count as Test matches but the one-off match in 2005 that no one cared about does. Either they all count, or none of them do.
