He edited it ****. It was a huge picture of Dev before edit.

Personally I feel Headley, Gavaskar, Hutton, and Lillee are too low. Very interesting list nonetheless.

Kallis hasn't been on the list yet, has he? Assuming he does make it (I do think he should be top 50), being in the top 20 means he's rated way too highly by people here IMHO.

I switched him from #24 IIRC to #13 just before I hit 'send'. I don't know why I had the impulse. But he deserves to be in top 25. Pretty sure he will be in. Ikki won't approve of Kallis getting ranked ahead of Ponting though

Yes, I know he does. But I disagree with him, but apparently, going by the rankings, more people agree with him than me, which is interesting.

Sehwag may have a 'Viv Richards like' record, but he isn't Viv Richards.
Kallis may have a 'Sobers like' record, but he's no Sobers.
But hey, people disagree with me. Fair enough.

Kallis's bowling is probably better than Sobers's

Cribb rates Kallis fairly. It's more a case of everyone else underrating him by calling Kallisball cricket.

Yes, I definitely remember Kallis being rated amongst the best bowlers of his era.

I don't remember Sobers being rated amongst the best bowlers of his era either.

I had Lillee, Botham, Hutton, O'Reilly and Gavaskar in my list, and they occupied positions 19-23. The other five are all in my top 50, and in fact all bar Dravid are in my top 35.
Five of my 25 have gone, and I reckon it's decent odds that my remaining 20 will be the top 20, pretty much confirming me as the most boring **** on CW.*
* As if that needed confirmation.
