1.Rohan Kanhai-Alvin Kalicharan

 

2.Mohamad Azharuddin-David Gower

 

3.Virendra Sehwag-Adam Gilchrist.

 

4.Viv Richards-Chris Gayle

 

5..Barry Richards/Sachin Tendulkar-Gary Sobers(as a batsmen,not all-rounder)

 

6.=Malcolm Marshall-Wasim Akram  and Donald Bradman- Graeme Pollock

 

8.Vernon Philanderer-Shaun Pollock

 

9.Gordon Greenidge-Roy Fredricks

 

1o.Walter Hammond-Brian Lara

 

11.Ian Botham/Keith Miller -Gary Sobers(as an allrounder)

 

12.Javed Miandad-Alan Border

 

 

 

 

Kanhai-Kali both combined water tight technique with great prowess,masters of pace and spin.Few pairs were more organized  in batting.

 

Azhar-Gower tok grace to regions of divinity,inspite of lazy footwork.

 

Sehwag-Gilly gave the ultimate battering to bowling attacks like a bomber raiding an airbase.

 

Viv-Gale  held bat like a sword piercing flesh of a body,taking domination to region sof the sublime.

 

Marshall-Wasim were both magician staking wizrdy to unreached depths.

 

Bradman-Pollock were the ultimate epitome of prowess and supreme domination in batting as well as more refined or clinical than any pair.

 

Greenidge and Fredricks could rip of the skin of a cricket ball in full rage cutting an attack to pieces.

 

Hammond and Lara dominated bowling like grass being mowed down but not at the cost of supreme batting aesthtics.

 

Barry Richards or Tendulkar  and Sobers blended perfect technique with exhilarating strokeplay like no pairs here.

 

Philanderer-Pollock could be lethal when moving a ball around and were more than useful batsmen.

 

Miller/Botham -Sobers were both great entertainers with the bat and hard hitters as well as versatile as bowlers.

 

Miandad/Border were ultimate stalwarts lin batting for your life in the middle.
