Cricketweb's twenty greatest ODI players of all time

[SuperMurali]

Best ODI cricketer != Best ODI batsman != Best ODI bowler

This thread was doomed to fail from the start.

Dude, stop it. Do you really think that people are too stupid to take different factors into consideration? McGrath is a fine bowler, probably better than Pollock. But Pollock does alright with the bat. People take this into consideration and decide that McGrath is still a better ODI cricketer than Pollock

All-Rounder = Batting * Bowling
Cricketer = Batting + Bowling

All rounder rating = geometric mean of batting and bowling rating
That's what ICC rating does iirc.

it seems Kapil is vastly under rated as an one day player here. he was the best one day all rounder thru out 80s. he was the star of world cup 83 in every discipline.a destructive end over batsman with 95+ str rate , very good seam bowler with 3.71 econ and a brilliant over all fielder and runner between the wkts.
he was the best all rounder in 92 world cup too.so he would be in my top 10 list for sure

Your Brad Williams pick rivalled my Richard Reid selection.

 

[NUFAN]

Ok so when does this end. Any update on the overall order?

 

[Flem274*]

Can we just get this list of the greatest out of the way for the more sensitive NZ fans around these parts? It would have to be:

McCullum
Guptill
Williamson
Taylor
Anderson
Elliott
Ronchi
Vettori
Southee
Milne
Boult

Daylight

Viv Richards
Tendulkar
Seven other blokes on the periphery of the current NZ WC squad.

Remember, if you don't agree with this list you must not be giving NZ the credit they deserve.

good to see burgey spouting common sense for a change

I'll tally it up in the next few days and present a leaderboard.

Would be cool if a few more members posted.

Nate, I'm unsure of what to make of your list....

Which he is actually not.

Try to make some sense, sometimes.

I make sense but you can't understand things which make sense
Remember the post that "slandered" you.
