Bradman might also be knocking on the door.

How the leading test and one day wicket taker (by a country mile) doesn't make the top 10

Akram not in top 10 is a shock too. If it's sky's ports then don't be surprised to see Jimmy Anderson make top 10.

I'd have Shane Warne over Murali any day of the week.

Bradman should be number one. Sobers would also be high in my list.

Who are left to make the top 10..Bradman, Richards, Sobers, Tendulkar, Warne and Kallis will almost certainly be there.

Other four? McGrath and Dravid have already been picked.

Ponting

Imran Khan and then we are looking at pre war players who only played one fixture which was England V Austrailia.

Malcom Marshall for sure.

Suspect action and his wicket talky was swollen by having every home test prepared specifically for him. He is a great, and I'd expect him to be top 10 but like i saod, I'm happy he's not.

Sri Lanka has never been known for rank turners. He got wickets all over the world other than Australia but he was always harshly treated by Aussie umpires.

His action was legal at the time and has been proven due to some birth defect.

Lara and Tendulkar not being in the top 10 is criminal.

For me, Warne should be number 1. Probably the main reason that Australia were so dominant in the 90's and 2000's.

I'm more shocked that McGrath is so low down. His record is up there with the best.

Aussies had a great squad so wasn't soley down to Warne. Warne always had the benefit of scoreboard pressure with the batsman scoring 500 most times.

Don't know why I put Tendulkar, I meant Murali.

Looks like W G Grace will be in there.

Jeff Thomson in there?

Lillie and McGrath were much better than Thomson. We are looking at players from the W G Grace era along with Kallis, Sachin, Imran, Warne. Don't see Holding on the list either but was he better than Marshall?

Yeah Sobers without question. Walsh was a shock for me too but shows how dubious the selection is when Chris Gayles makes the list in top 80 and you have Hayden, Anwar and Smith outside the top 100.

This must mean they are looking at limited overs too.

Gayle in and Smith out? Ridiculous considering not only his ability as a batsman but him practically captaining the South African side from when he came into the side and transformed South African cricket.
