Aight so we’ve got

ATG+

ATVG

Where do we go next?
Hence just the true ATGs, greats and rest is above rest level and test level. The only subsect would be (Grace*), Bradman and Sobers in the upper pantheon.

No need to make this complicated, but there haven't been 77 players who can seen as the true elites of the game.

Unironically Jadeja was close. A player with 300+ wickets @24 and 3000+ runs @35.6 with several important contributions down the order is bloody great statistically. His away record is the only thing binding him down.
