Nice to see West Indies on the top :viv

Maninder Singh (no 5fer and average of 31+; oh ICC :yk ) and Gower surprised me the most.

Zaheer Abbas is criminally underrated in this forum.

India's two best ODI bowling rankings are:-

1. Kapil Dev - 845
2. Jasprit Bumrah - 841
 
So if I am reading this properly, Maninder Singh > Wasim Akram?
 
Ewen Chatfield at 6 ? I know his numbers are decent but wouldn't have figured him in a top 10 of all time.
 
Shaun Pollack was an absolute beast of a cricketer, greatest pace bowling alrounder ever for me. Criminally underrated here and everywhere else.

Icc rankings are based on current form. A bowler can average 15 over a period of 15 months and then go downhill since and still have a higher career rating then someone consistently averaging 22.

One of my favorite cricketers as well. I tried emulating his bowling action as a kid. The man averaged 20 odd with the ball for more than half of his career. It was his decline during the later years that pushed his bowling average to 23 odd.

According to ICC rankings, Wasim Akram was never rated the #1 ranked Test bowler in the world in his entire career. Speaks about the credibility of those lists :))
 
Greatest ODI batsmen :-

Tendulkar
Kohli
Richards
Dhoni
Ponting


Kohli has to dominate at least 2 World cups
(zero currently) andd hit 2 scores of above 250 ( not even a 200 yet) to be rated ahead of Sachin in ODIs.


Tendulkar DOMINATED 3 World cups. No cricketer and only a handful of sportsmen across sports have ever dominated as many as 3 World cups. It is unprecedented. Not even Ronaldo, Messi have come near this.

I prefer winning knocks in knockouts scoring in SF's and Finals rather than dominating in league matches.
