Rank them as odi batsmen : Viv. Sachin. Kohli

The same arguments as presented here could be presented there I'm sure.

Go ahead then lol. If you want that desperately to try to prove yourself correct when you said something qrong, rather than just admit it.

No lol, I still have enough self respect to not argue "people just didn't know how to play back then" to downplay Bradman or Hobbs.

I wonder why all the great ODI players happen to also be stellar test players... it's almost like having a strong base and core is not a negative.

Rohit? Ganguly? Dhoni? Bevan? Aravinda? M. Waugh? deKock? Guptill?

all of them have been good in test at one point or another, that leaves Dhoni (who was good in test outside Aus/SA), Bevan who didn't have much of a test career and Guptill who is actually just a LO specialist. tho my point was all time greats, so people like — Viv, Sachin, Kohli, De Villiers, ABD and so forth, all happen to be gun test batters. and bowlers like — McGrath, Murali, Wasim, Garner, Pollock, Bumrah etc and all happen to be gun test players. clearly, having a strong core game isn't a negative.

I don’t consider any of them to be great in Tests but I agree with your basic point
