Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[tadeusz]

Chris Cairns has acheived the feat.

Aussie tragic was close, it is to do with runs and wickets in Tests AND ODIs. In fact three of the five players listed are on the list.

As the question is so open, a hint: the feat itself is two separate feats, mirrored in both forms of the game.

 

[tadeusz]

In other words, more than five players has acheived this feat in tests, more than five have acheived it in odis, only five have done it in both

 

[aussie tragic]

Five Players have achieved 2000 Runs and 200 Wkts in both Tests & ODI.

Players are: C. Cairns, K. Dev, J. Kallis, S. Pollock & W. Akram

 

[tadeusz]

Yes

 

[aussie tragic]

Okay, name the top ten Test run scorers (i.e. most runs) between the period 1-Jan-2000 and now (12-Aug-2006)?

 

[Goughy]

Must each post include 10 names or can we say individuals?

 

[Burpey]

Naming individuals sounds good.

Ponting
Hayden
Dravid

Those sound good straight off the top of my head.

 

[Goughy]

Im pretty sure Trescothick must be in the top few.

 

[oz_fan]

Kallis
Lara

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll say Inzi, Sachin, Yousuf & Langer. Maybe Gibbs too.

 

[aussie tragic]

8 of the top 10 have been named in previous posts.

I'll give you 2 to start:

1.
2.
3.
4. Kallis: 6184 runs @ 62.46
5.
6.
7. Langer: 5691 runs @ 49.06
8.
9.
10.

EDIT: I'll keep updating the table when a post nominates all players mentioned in their correct order (minumum of 2 players)

eg. someone would have had to nominate Kallis (4) & Langer (7) for me to update the table as above. The winner will be the person to complete the table.

 

[oz_fan]

I'll go with:

1. Ponting
2. Dravid
