wish all the respect to your thread, why is players like rahul dravid, andy flower, daniel vettori, stephen fleming, nathan astle, being ignored. i dont have any idea. michael bevan was one of the best in odi in terms of average. if i am not wrong. taking records lance klusener had a awesome outing in 1999 world cup. how about shaun pollock who has the best economy rate compared to murali or mcgrath or akram. why does shoaib akhtar does not fit in top 50. i hardly found chris cairns name once. grant flower, neil johnson, murray goodwin, hansie cronje, jonty rhodes, heath streak were all good. they just did not have too much of opportunity. how about the emerging yuvraj singh. how could you say sachin and other indians plays for records. i hardly follow cricket now but the players mentioned above are all good players. have your views on it.
