Will the likes of Inzamam-ul-Haq and VVS Laxman make it to the ICC Hall Of Fame?

[Hitman]

I'm not comparing the two, not at all. I'm just asking do you guys the likes of Inzamam, Laxman, Yousuf, Ganguly, etc make it to the ICC HOF?

 

[Ab Fan]

Unlikely.

 

[Ab Fan]

Which all modern era players are inducted into HOF bar Lara?

 

[rhony]

Inzi maybe

 

[DRsohail]

No.even ABd cant.

 

[CanadianG00se]

Laxman should for playing one of the best innings of the 21st century so far.

 

[jadaja]

When guy like David Gower can make it, both Laxman and Inzi should make it.

 

[jeetu]

I don't take this list with much merit , not as bad as Wisden though.
South , Africa , India , Pakistan , SriLanka , New Zealand has very few members.

Notable omissions at the top my head
Tendulkar , Dravid , Kallis , Pollock , Donald , Fazal Mehmood , Younis , Inzamam , Sangakkara.

 

[finalfantasy7]

if kumble is in it then inzi shold be in it, personally i think players like laxmand and mo yosuf are just outside this league

 

[Ab Fan]

I think Dravid will get it eventually. India's stocks have risen over the years and being a part of big 3, it is obvious some of big names will get into it.

Dont expect South African, Pakistani, kiwi or Lankan too often in these list.

Probably Kallis, Steyn and Sangakkara will get it from these teams.

 

[The_Odd_One]

Not really.

 

[Rahul1]

Laxman should for playing one of the best innings of the 21st century so far.

One of the best innings? THE best innings.

 

[Saj]

It would be interesting to know what the criteria for inclusion is.

 

[Varun]

First time I've heard of this outfit.

Does it carry much prestige? Does a cricketer or a country's fans lose out on much if their favourite player isn't on it?

 

[TQ89]

I think Inzi should make it. He was the second batsmen after Sachin to score 20000 international runs and for almost half his career had the record of most ODI 50's. Also was the 2nd run getter in ODI's after sachin until he retired. One of the best finishers in ODI cricket at the time. Also has a very high percentage of test centuries in winning causes.

Those achievements should count for something even if he isn't somebody's idea of an excellent batsmen. Though I will admit I don't know a thing about the inclusion criteria in ICC Hall of Fame so we will have to see if they induct guys like Inzi/Laxman or no.

 

[Bilal7]

Who cares? Not many pay attention the the Hall of Fame. However, like someone else said, if Anil Kumble can make it then these guys should definitely be in there too.

 

[Hasan123]

Unlikely.

 

[Peshwa]

Anil Kumble have 600+wickets in Test

 

[ArsenalFC]

Anil Kumble have 600+wickets in Test

red soil bully

 

[shaz619]

Inzi and Laxman could I reckon, Yousef had one good year and Ganguly has a shot but am not sure

 

[Peshwa]

red soil bully

Yeah
If Indian bowlers take wicket then they are red soil bully
If indian batsman score runs then they are flat track bully

 

[ArsenalFC]

Yeah
If Indian bowlers take wicket then they are red soil bully
If indian batsman score runs then they are flat track bully

nah check my post history I rate Gavaskar best opener of all time.

Also out of all the current crop Kohli is the best batter at present.

SRT is one of the 2 best batsmen of all time - still undecided between him and and Viv.

I just don't rate Kumble as an ATG.

 

[Bilal7]

Anil Kumble have 600+wickets in Test

Inzamam has a truck-load of runs, Yousuf and Ganguly have plenty of centuries. Heck, if quantity is what we're after, Shahid Afridi should be a hall of famer too. Guy has runs and wickets.

 

[Hitman]

Anil Kumble was already inducted in to the ICC Hall of Fame in 2015

 

[Hitman]

Anyways, if Hanif Mohammad made it, Kumble is way more deserving.

Shahid Afridi in Test ???

Ya I respect your opinion
But u can give better excuse than Red soil bully

 

[Bilal7]

Shahid Afridi in Test ???

In ODIs and T20s, obviously.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Inzamam deserves to be in it.

VVS probably in 10 years time. Inzamam thanks to his ODI record and captaincy is thrice the player VVS ever was.

Some Indians will feel burnt now but that’s the bottomlime as bhaijaan said so.

 

[Hitman]

I think Inzi should make it. He was the second batsmen after Sachin to score 20000 international runs and for almost half his career had the record of most ODI 50's.

The thing is does ODI cricket come under the criteria or not.

 

[Bilal7]

The thing is does ODI cricket come under the criteria or not.

If FC cricket does, why would they disregard ODIs?

 

[TQ89]

The thing is does ODI cricket come under the criteria or not.

I am assuming all formats of cricket come under criteria but that is just me.
