    Best Wicketkeeper/Wicketkeeper batsman of Pakistan

    If to choose a Pakistan XI, who would you give the gloves to? There are a variety of options, from some great glovesmen though not so great with the bat in Wasim Bari to a good batsman but liability behind the stumps in Sarfaraz Ahmed and Kamran Akmal; and everything in between in Imtiaz Ahmed...

    Fifth Best Test Opener

    Okay, let's try this one out. Most of the times, there's a general consensus on who are the 4 best Test openers (aka Jack Hobbs, Len Hutton, Sunil Gavaskar and Herbert Sutcliffe) but the fifth spot is generally up for grabs. So who is he? Is he the practical father of modern cricket and arguably...

    Best Indian Spinner

    Who is the best Indian Spinner of All Time? Is he some mid war pioneer in Rustomji Jamshedji who made Wilfred Rhodes jealous of the turn he got? Or is he someone from India's orginal spin trio in Vinoo Mankad, Ghulam Ahmed or especially Subhash Gupte? Or is he Australia killer Jasu Patel? Or is...

    2nd Best English Pacer All-rounder

    Given Botham to be no. 1, who's England's 2nd Best English Pacer/Medium pacer all-rounder (Not counting the Grand Old Man, he's a headache to rate).

    Greatest Sportspersons/athletes of All Time

    Comparing athletes across various sports isn't always the clearest task to do. Many parameters had been used in the past by various individuals, none with really great success. But anyways, who do you guys consider, like the Top 10-15 athletes/sportspersons of all time? Mine would probably be...

    The Pure All-Rounders

    In this thread I want to discuss all rounders who could have played atleast quarter the no. of matches they've played for their national teams based on either of their skills. Alternate title: the Shakib Al Hasan appraisal thread. As much as I think Shakib is overrated here, I can't help but be...

    Best South African Wicketkeeper batsman

    Who is the best South African Wicketkeeper batsman? Here, I virtually included everyone with a claim; with pre WWI stalwarts Percy Sherwell, Ernest Halliwell and Tommy Ward; between wars prodigies Jock Cameron and Billy Wade; 50s and 60s folk hero- John Waite, the destroyer of Australia- Denis...

    Vengsarkar vs Amarnath vs Viswanath

    Best Indian batsman of 70s/80s after Gavaskar. All 3 averages around 42. Amarnath, a gritty tough batsman, was the most successful outside of India; his record almost rivaling Gavaskar's in Australia and West Indies, with him averaging 50+ overseas, with amazing series in both Australia and...

    Best Indian Test Wicketkeepers after M S Dhoni

    Considering Dhoni to be the best Indian Test Wicketkeeper/ Wicketkeeper batsman; who is the second best? And in case you think Dhoni is not the best Indian keeper, select that option and the one you think is the best.

    3rd Best English Pacer/Medium pacer

    It's almost universally accepted that Sydney Barnes and Fred Trueman are the best and Second best, respectively; but who's the third?

    Shakib Al Hasan vs Vinoo Mankad

    With all the Shakib Al Hasan comparisons that do not makes sense; here's one that actually does. Two all-rounders of relatively equal skills, in the same disciplines, playing for relatively weak teams.

    Hanif Mohammad vs Vijay Hazare

    Best Asian 50s cricketer. I think they were pretty similar in quality and are both kinda underrated. Hanif has a legendary 337 in West Indies and has played almost twice as many matches as Hazare. He has a magnificent average against West Indies, but quite a glaring one against England. Hazare...

    Did Glenn Maxwell today played the best ODI innings of all time?

    What is the best ODI innings of all time?

    Am I the only one here who rates Sunil Gavaskar slightly above Viv Richards in Test?

    The title describes itself..... I rate Gavaskar over Richards; not just because Gavaskar played for a much much weaker side, opened the innings and played more tests while still averaging more than Richards; but also as Richards never played against the best bowling unit of his era, against whom...

    Greatest South Africa Test Team of all time (Including uncapped players)

    If any country has some quality players to have never played a single test; then yeah, it's South Africa.... I mean, if we can include Barry Richards and Mike Procter in SA all time teams despite playing less than 10 tests; then why not Clive Rice. So yeah, here is my South Africa Team: 1...
