Greatest ever ODI cricketer : Sir Vivian Richards


Recommended Posts

That is a horribly miserly summary of Tendulkar's one-day credentials' date=' probably coming from a kid with no idea of how destructive he was. The overriding memory of Tendulkar in his pomp was how he dominated quality attacks. He didn't do this by holding up a sign saying look at me i have great longevity![/quote'] Yeah..it borders on the insult..

Err the winner is decided by 50 hand-picked experts...forget the poll.
Oh Okay. Fair enough. Sachin is going to win it due to greater population of Indians in the 50 experts. :winky:

In an ideal world' date= people should vote for Viv .... However, the voting will be b/w Sachin vs. Akram. Dhoni could split some Indian votes though :P
Because you think so ? :blink:

Dhoni if we win the world cup again:proud: Otherwise Viv followed by Sachin Btw anyone old enough to watch 92 finals,how good was Akram in that tournament.Was he class all through the world cup or its mostly that spell in Final ?

The only bowler on the list speaks volumes of his quality. Surprising that Waqar tends to miss out.
Considering that he was crap in every World cup he played not really a surprise

I expect Sachin to win due to India's greater population.
Do not worry. As one Pak solider = 10 Ind soliders, 1 Pak fan can vote 10 times Ind fan :dontknow:

From whatever public interviews I have read, I am guessing the votes of the panelists listed...if someone has full list of 50, kindly post :- Ian Chappell -He is captaincy freak and criticized Dhoni many times. He will vote for Viv ( his generation and nothing wrong as Viv was the master :hatsoff:) Clive Lloyd - Upset recently with India/BCCI. Will vote for Viv Martin Crowe - Akram always praises M.Crowe...he will return the favor - Akram Rahul Dravid - He admires Viv but has played with Sachin for years and has seen what a great talent Sachin is...He will be torn as Dhoni is there but will vote for Sachin Ricky Ponting - Cunning fellow. He will ask if the votes of panel will be shared publicly. If yes, he will go with Sachin. If not he will go with whoever his mind will say has best chance of toppling Sachin. Not Gilly so he will go with Akram most likely or Viv. Graeme Smith - He came out as gentleman whenever I heard him speak. He will not be biased and will go with Sachin

I just want to point out that Tendulkar also took 154 one day wickets and most of those were crucial partnership breakers and of top batsmen as he mainly bowled in the middle overs. It should not be overlooked. In my opinion Tendulkar is the greatest one day cricketer ever.

Genuinely interested why Murali did not make this poll despite having more wickets than Akram, and a comparable economy rate - despite having played into the 2010s. Akram made most of his dough in the 80s and 90s, a time when it was much easier as a bowler.

Richards also took 118 wickets in much lesser number of matches. Richards is ahead in my opinion if you talking about ODIs. Overall I would rate Sachin ahead of Richards.

BTW the page is nothing but a gimmick by cricinfo to salvage its sagging numbers that its losing to cricbuzz. Still doesn't change the fact that the layout is abominable. The video articles are such a turn off.
