Top 5 test cricketers since 1970

Yet he slipped in the best team and one of the best fielding teams of all time. He must deserve some points for that compared to McGrath. What percentage of teams' slip cordons does he not make?

He shouldn't have made theirs.

First off he was way better when he was at 3rd, than when he was hidden at 1st.

Hayden was just better than he was, like ATG vs good. He was the weak link.

 

[Coronis]

Not really.

Not world class, far less great.

Doesn't make the cordon for my AT XI

I wouldn’t want a bowler in there at all.

Charisma plays a big role in creating an aura around the player and makes him better than he actually is

That works only against weak players. If some one has no aura and still gets same results, he must be better against better players.

The Warne votes are a bit puzzling to me.

He wasn't the best or most impactful bowler on his own team.

And these kind of lists then also falls back to all rounder vs specialists debates.

Neither the 2 most impact players either. They were McGrath and Gilchrist

McGrath and Ponting
