Who is Asia's sixth greatest cricketer?

[number11]

I was responding directly to a point you made lol.

But that point wasn't made in a vacuum.

You are jumping half-way though the convo, but let's get back to the issue.

Who is Asia's 6th greatest cricketer means [for me] who is the next most likely Asian cricketer to make an AT XI after the big 5. That is surely the crux of the question.

Not sure that how it works.... Imran is a Top 5 cricketer, but he isn't more likely to make ATG World XI than Gilchrist.

If you care to present a different 1 line summary of the Q at hand, please do.

lol I read the whole lead up to the convo before I posted. Why do you have such a problem with me saying we’re talking about careers and not peaks?

All I did was explain that any of the rest of us are talking about careers when comparing peaks, whilst you specifically mentioned peaks as to why you rate Shoaib and Gillespie over Kapil.

The player to play Test cricket for an Asian nation with the 6th best Test career after Imran, Sachin, Murali, Wasim and Gavaskar..... It's pretty simple really. Don't really need to make an arbitrary team and see whether they fit or not.

It's a matter of how we consider greatest. I consider it in the broadest context - a global context. In the simpler terms you present, I'd probably vote for Sanga. In my context, I'd probably vote for Waqar.

I don't. Any such issue is in your mind, mate.

I don't necessarily think that a global context means making an ATG Asian team really....

Thats why you’ve been about it for a whole page…

Conversely, you have.
