Isn't Shaun Pollock a bit too low?

No he is perfectly okay at 8 i think. He was a very very good bowler but if you give him a 9 , what would you give guys like Allan donald or dale steyn who are superior to him?

Gareme smith seriously deserves a 9 because of his monumental contribution to SA cricket. Allan donald will be a 9 for me. Dale steyn would be a 9.5.

This is not The Highlander. There can be more than one.

I have no problem giving Steyn a 10. He is not just ATG but goes head to head with McGrath and Marshall for best ever. Mad SR.

They are all best players and one can easily have these players in his team. If you have more bowling options then you think on last two otherwise they are pretty well and deserve high numbers.

Just curious here, if you give Steyn a 10, What will you give Bradman?
