Tests, mid 90's: Sehwag Kirsten Lara Tendulkar S Waugh Kallis Gilly Wasim Akram Murali Ambrose Donald Punter/McGrath was a close one and I did think of Sreesanth but just misses out as he wasn't given a good run.

Started watching cricket regularly mainly from the 90s but have vague memory of those who played in the late 80s so .... Tests: - Gavaskar - Sehwag (Gooch a strong contender as well but not as good as Sehwag against spin. The incredible SR does it for Sehwag too) - IVAR (though he wasn't at his destructive best when I saw a few games but still the master blaster) - Lara (gets 375, someone breaks it, scores 400! .... 501* in FC) - Tendulkar - Steve Waugh / Martin Crowe / .... (too many options, may be I will pretend to have watched Sobers play) - Gilly - Hadlee - Marshall - Warne - Ambrose (for ability to win games on his own when in flow) or Akram (for reverse swing, that ball to Croft)
no Ponting? He's better than SRT though :facepalm:

Every single squad listed here has "SRT" in it. That sums up most of the arguments on this forum.
But this is "Indian" Cricket Fans forum so you will need to adjust for the bias in favor of Indian players... I am sure things would have been different if the thread was on say "Australian" Cricket Fans :smiley:

We have many SRT hatters on this forum though. I can assure you that 80% of the people would have SRT on their list if not more on any cricket forum in the world.

Fair enough and I would pick SRT ahead of Ponting as well if had to pick one but was simply playing devil's advocate.
