Steyn by a small but clear margin.

You can’t just compare it with stats here. Vivs probably meant more to his team and had a big influence on why Windies were dominant in his era. His leadership was great as well.

What leadership? Viv's leadership is even a bigger myth than Imran's or Waugh's leadership.

Steyn, Richards and Lara are all similar in quality

Two top-tier ATGs but neither were the best test cricketers in their respective teams (Kallis & Marshall).

Steyn was an ATG.
Absolutely. Both of these 2 are legit T1 ATGs and there are a couple of dozen at max in the history of the game.

Viv is the best cricketer of the last 50 years. Immy 2nd.

Viv is better than Kallis, Tendulkar, Marshall and McGrath?

You missed Lara, Hadlee, Gilchrist, Warne and Murali.
You're wrong.
Viv's peer review and expert analysis rightfully place him #1. I think the Telegraph even had a listing to this effect. I don't generally read the rag, but they were right here.
