Shane Warne on Best Batsman debate.

These ex cricketers change their opinions frequently.Nothing wrong in that because  opinions can change based on further subsequent thoughts and analyses.For Warne,  Sachin was earlier better to Lara.Now it is the reverse.For Ponting & Murali, firstly Lara was better to Sachin.Later they reversed their verdicts.So I think we  need to only respect their opinions and leave them as such and have our own verdicts based on our thoughts and analyses.

LOL he's picked the likes of ABDV, Gooch and Kohli but not Steve Waugh.

His personnel dislike for Waugh and Gilchrist is well known.

Viv, Lara and SRT are top 3 in the last 40 years or so, I don't mind how you order these 3 giants.

In Steve Waughs defense, he is a member of 10000 run club from Australia... but he is more remembered for his captaincy exploits. & gritty batting

Ian Chappell is the same as far as Waugh is concerned. It's incredible how both of them never miss out on an opportunity to belittle Waugh. Rather pathetic IMO.

Several of these players how ever great they were as  players had always have severe attitude,ego and even psychic problems.Not remembering clearly, but I had read several years back that Botham has some sort of strange sadistic behaviour .... sort of sticking a burning cigerette point into  some other players body parts,pouring hot water ... those sort of things..not remembering clearly.Botham-Chappel feud over a silly childish matter is well known

I know his problems with Waugh. But why Gilchrist?

I think for selecting Gilchrist over him as vice captain... any way  for that sort of matter ...Not sure though

One cricketer telling who is the bat is an exercise in futility. You can never compare cricketers from different eras. Just like Steve waugh vs Brandman vs tendlkar etc is maeingless. It is all about wins and nothing else for a team. It is fair to compare kohli and steve though.
