Greatest Cricket Player of all time

Discuss who you think is the greatest cricket player of all time here.

A poll will be set up once we have some nominations followed by a vote. Winner will be added to the big thread.

I nominate Brian Lara who i will vote for

Id probably go for Lara aswell but i'll throw names like Warne and Muralitharan in there.

Sachin Tendulkar

Sir Don Bradman ...... averages 99.94 . The second best average of all time is 60.97 .

Bradman is statistically more superior to the second best batsman ever than any other sportsman in their respective field .

Brian Lara or Shane Warne

Don Bradman. The stats are just unreal.

Of modern day cricketers i would probably say Brian Lara.

Bradmans statistics were and are amazing but compared to nowadays the amount of games he played was nothing.

He played 70 Tests . More than enough to have a legitimate average . And based on averages , he was 66% better than the next best batsman in history .

Bradman!

Sir Don Bradman I say.

Phil Tufnell

Yeh i know but still the amount of games a player plays these days, they are bound to have a bigger slump than Bradman, well yeah ok then true he is "arguably" the best cricketer ever... for now! Ian Bell is on the rise

Oh the Don had a slump , he only averaged a litle over 50 in the Bodyline Series

Yeh quality tactics by the English!

Sir Don Bradman by miles

English player would be WG Grace

Sir Donald George Bradman for me aswell. The guys statistics are very very good. Whats his exact average around 100 i thought.

I think its very hard to tell in Cricket though whos the best because he was a batsman at the time he played the Bowlers could of been poor in comparison to the batsman. im nit sure who he played against but he could of played alot of games against the poorer nations where scoring 100's and 50's are alot easier.

For example Muttiah Muralitharan no one can doubt hes an excellent spin bowler, but he has played most of his test against poorer nations like Bangladesh where their batsman are not very good and its alot easier to take wickets.

Of Course players like Shane Warne and Brian Lara deserve a mention. Id say Brian Lara was the best player ive seen though.

Batting Test average was 99.94

cricket is crap.but shane warne all day long

YoBBo :shakeshead: at pauls remark.
