Guess that settles the Sehwag, Smith, Cook, Hayden debate.

Or not...

 

[venkyrenga]

Ross Taylor got 104.8 points. That should put him somewhere between no. 45 and 50.

 

[trundler]

Was Taylor really better than Misbah? Discuss

 

[venkyrenga]

Note: While calculating points for a given period a batsman with double the innings count(compared to the mean) will get additional 5% points. This is done to reward batsmen who maintained the same quality with higher quantity. Likewise, a batsman with lesser innings count will have points deducted.

Aside from Gayle who could you really rank him above who’s already featured?

 

[TheJediBrah]

Longevity penalty is huge. No way Sachin doesn't come in no. 1

I'm also a bit surprised Laxman made the list at all

Laxman is not in top 30 batsman since 90s according to you ?
Post your top 30 list.

I was definitely surprised to see Laxman above Clarke.
