"Sachin has carried the burden of India for 21 years, it's time we carried him" - Virat Kohli.

This quote says it all :))

Woow, can't believe some people are actually mentioning any other name than Sachin 😲

Oh wait I can.. Jealous, that they dont have a Sachin playing in their team 😆 dont worry I understand 😛


Imran Khan LOL, he might be a good cricketer.. But the best? No ways in my opinion..

No one can reach Sachin's level and everyone knows that not only Indians !Edited by HiphopStahKiran - 13 years ago

Cricinfo some months back did a contest for putting together an all time World XI, and came up w/ the following squads:

The World XI: Jack Hobbs, Len Hutton, Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Viv Richards, Gary Sobers, Adam Gilchrist, Malcolm Marshall, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Dennis Lillee

The Second XI: Sunil Gavaskar, Barry Richards, George Headley, Brian Lara, Wally Hammond, Imran Khan, Alan Knott, Bill O'Reilly, Fred Trueman, Muttiah Muralitharan, SF Barnes

Readers' XI: Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag, Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Garry Sobers, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram, Muttiah Muralitharan, Glenn McGrath

So the way I see it, the top cricketer of all time should be from one of these.  Of course, there could be many more, such as Michael Holding, Steve Waugh, Rodney Marsh, and so on, but I thought narrowing it down might be helpful.

I'd vote for Sir Gary Sobers, since I'd think of the greatest cricketer as an all-rounder.  So I'd first choose from the great all-rounders, like Sobers, Sir Richard Hadlee, Keith Miller and so on b4 going to the likes of Bradman, Tendulkar, Richards or Holding.

Note that the above links also have the greatest ever XIs of every country, whence too one can select

Brian Lara was probably one of the best! I really think he was amazing!

^^

I know that but there are many more players that are the greatest I don't count one person as the greatest same with football!

Greatest r not counted until  question is urged Who is the greatest...... yahan koi apni marzi se nahin keh raha Sachin is the greatest cricketer ever ... a question was asked n so everyone is posting their opinions !!!! 😛

this is what Brian Lara said bout Sachin 

"Sachin Tendulkar is a genius. I'm a mere mortal" - Brian Lara

Sachin is a total differrnt class...truely unmatchable!!

 

I already know everyone thinks Sachin for them is the best but I believe there are better cricketers and well I have always admired Brian Lara since my dad showed me clips of the way he used to play so I obviously have seen him more than Sachin or even Imran Khan.
