[PICTURE] 300 ODIs Club: Which player was the best to reach this landmark?

[The Bald Eagle]

Following is the list of players who have reached this landmark but which cricketer do you reckon as the best candidate to reach this landmark
====

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Ricky Ponting
Sangakkara

Top two for me.

 

[FearlessRoar]

The quality inclusion in the 300-ODI club, in my opinion, would be Ricky Ponting, Wasim Akram and Virat Kohli.

The worst I can think of is Sachin Tendulkar—463 ODIs! After playing that many matches, if you don’t have a mountain of runs, then what else would you have?

 

[Vikram1989]

Sachin. Msd, kohli , akram for me.Any one can be claimed as top pick .

Shahid Afridi wouldn’t have played that many matches if he were part of any other team. Most inconsistent player to have played 350+ matches.

He milked well his early glories for the rest of his life.

Ricky Ponting
Sangakkara

Top two for me.

Sangakkara didn’t win a single ODI World Cup, can’t put his name next to Ponting.

Jayasuriya definitely.

I think Jayasuriya is the best ODI player of all time. He has 13,000+ ODI runs and 300+ ODI wickets. He also played 445 ODIs.

 

[Bhaijaan]

The one and only Tilkaratne Dilshan bro

How is Dilshan better than Ponting, Jayasuriya, Inzamam etc.?

Which metric did you use?

Chris Gayle
Jayasurya
Inzi the don

Are you using MOTM as a metric? LOL.

You can win 20 MOTMs against associates. That doesn't tell anything.

You have to combine all metrics. For example, Jayasuriya has over 13,000 runs and over 300 wickets in ODI. He was also a big contributor to SL's success in 90's. I think Jayasuriya gets the nod over Tendulkar.

After filtering minnows and associates Jayasuriya will be even worse

If you play that many games you deserve it. All of those players served their country well.

I enjoy Afridi, Gayle, Yuvraj and Sanath most. They had some amazing moments.

Chaminda Vaas, Sanath and Silva...the golden period of Sri Lanka cricket.

 

[Hellion]

Just another thread made to insult Tendulkar

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Shahid Afridi wouldn’t have played that many matches if he were part of any other team. Most inconsistent player to have played 350+ matches.

One could also say, Afridi would’ve had a better career if he was playing for another country.

 

[TeymurBlake]

I know we’re picking our favourites for the 300 club which the question says, however I must say this, what an opener Saeed Anwar was for Pakistan. Finesse, power & grit. Tremendous.

 

[Advaith]

Virat Kohli..No other comes close..
