Top 5 test cricketers since 1970

[Johan]

Not in Top 5 imo

Warne’s batting isn’t that special. So don’t see the need to mention him alongside a Imran or Kallis.

Warne is practically the tied #1 spinner of all time, but could bat well enough to support the batters on the other end and had a technique to survive while the batter adds runs, was great at the slip and was an elite tactician like Miandad, definitely the greater Cricketer.

I don’t have him in my Top 5 bowlers in last 50 years.

I gave a special mention to Imran Khan and Jacques Kallis because they are two of the best ARs

What about Tim Southee?

then again, Viv also has these advantages, better bowler, elite fielder and a good captain.

What about Tim Southee?

He has "South" in his name so he's at the bottom, outside the top 5.

You sure you don't know who Narayana is?

It was actually spelling Marshall with only one L in that post that confirmed it for me.

Is there any way to prevent an umpteenth Narayana multi?? The guy is pure Cancer (for any discussion, don't know him personally to comment)

Not really. He has a few obvious tells though.

I must get some CW Hof or something for figuring this out first

 

[Chrish]

No particular order:

Viv
Imran
Kallis
Sachin
Marshall

Some other day, could have gone for McGrath over Kallis.

He's trying hard not to be spotted. He even voted sachin pretty high in his lists lol.

But you can tell from his style of writing that he is the same guy. Just new IP address.

I suspected it from the first couple of posts but only ever had pretty circumstantial evidence. Eventually it added up enough to pull the trigger.
