CW's 100 greatest players result | 2024

[capt_Luffy]

True, he probably should have made the top 100. I will note however, that he averaged 30+ against both Australia and WI, the two best batting line-ups he faced. Given the majority of his career was played in a low scoring era this is a serious red flag.

Yeah, but on evaluating them by country he did great everywhere bar one bad series in India. Averages close to Trueman in Australia and better than him in WI.

Was this test only?

No, it was all formats

Was this test only?

All formats were considered (including FC), giving tests more importance than others.

 

[Qlder]

Was this test only?

Apparently it was all formats but a lot of people only considered Tests like I did

 

[Ali TT]

Yeah it feels like a test only list if honest.

Yeah it feels like a test only list if honest.

Dhoni wouldn't be there if it were only tests.

 

[sayon basak]

Especially Chanders, but I still have a fair few players ahead of him whom I would had included. Simpson, Mitchell, Inzamam, Underwood, Chandrasekhar, Bedi, Lyon, Statham, Willis, Hall, Snow, Philander, van Bijl, Lohmann, Tate, Broad, Greig, Barlow, Noble, Goddard, Rice, etc.

Yeah very "few".

 

[capt_Luffy]

Yeah very "few".

Think of the millions, if not billions, to ever have played cricket and it indeed is very "few''
