Tendulkar/Lara vs Murali/Warne vs Kapil/Imran/Hadlee/Botham

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Warne vs Murali - closest

Hadlee > Imran ( very close as cricketers ) > Kapil > Botham ( very close )

Hadlee better bowler and fielder than Imran, Imran was only slightly better batsman than Hadlee ( bar last few years where Imran clearly a better bat )
Kapil and Botham - better Allrounders than other two.

Lara - Sachin is not rare, Gavaskar - Viv ( and Barry ), headley - Hammond ( And Bradman ), Ranji - Trumper..


Crazy facts
4 top tier ATG allrounders played in same era ( + Procter and Rice )
4 ATG bowlers of 80s WI
So many top tier ATG potential in 70s SA team.
