@@tomrankin3893 then you'd have loved watching Boycott, Bailey, et al... There's not one test side in the world, in any era, that wouldn't want Kallis in their side.
Given playing conditions in England very few of our batsmen will ever make Top 10/20/50 lists based on averages or runs scored. Cook absolutely should be in any top 20 of that era. As an Englishman I say this all the time. We love to hate the Aussies but when they retire and become commentators or journalists we end up loving most of them. Richie Benaud was one of the very best of all time. Miss him to this day.
Kallista scored a lot of runs but he scored them slowly. He was more of a match-saver than a match-winner. I'd rather have someone like Gilchrist who could totally change the course of a match in a session and put it out of reach of the opposition.
While mostly I agree with your list, but I strongly feel that Hashim Amla should make to this list. He has won many tough matches for SA in difficult conditions. While everyone will have their own favorites, in my opinion the top 5 test batters purely from match winning/saving impact is: Lara/Sangakara/Ponting/Kallis/Younis Khan. Great video bdw :)
Share your sentiments that Amla should make the list. Imagine if Amla had a career of the same length as Tendulkar or Kallis? But then it would be very difficult to leave someone else off the list also, everyone on the list absolutely deserves to be there
The records of Sachin, Greg Chappell, Viv Richards and Gavaskar are virtually indistinguishable from a purely stats point of view. The only difference with Sachin is the length of his career. He played 329 innings vs Chappell with 151. Personally, I think Chappell is highly underated. No-one admits to liking him because of the underarm incident. But, he to me is the most elegant of players.
@@rballad142 Sachin's average outside home is almost 10 runs/inn higher than Sanga. Sanga pounced on flat tracks in Sri Lanka, especially against Bangladesh and Pakistan. His away stats are also praiseworthy with avg of around 44-45 (most, including a lot in this list too, would die for it), but not Sachin's level. He was an equal beast, at home or away.
Why the name of great Suny Gavaskar left behind ? He was greatest opening batsman in test cricket. He was the first batsman to reach 10, 000 runs in test cricket. First batsman to reach 34 centuries and one only test opening batsman to score 774 in his debut test series and the that was against mighty West Indies in the 1971 at West Indies.
It is not about greatest opening batsman, but greatest in general. I agree with you that he was the greatest opening batsman...but the impact one has is important.
@@shilpiverma4293 Yes correct. I overlooked the years. Then it is ok. Sorry for my fault. I am at the age of 73 years so mistake may arise. Thank you very much to make me rectify in this regard.
At least 3 among Kevin Pietersen, Alistair Cook, Adam Gilchrist, Mark Waugh, Daemien Martyn, Langer, Laxman, Gayle, Bell, McCullum, Amla deserved to be there. Batting Avg isn't d only important thing to be a great batsman.
None of the above mentioned were as consistent as those on the list so don't deserve to be there. There are certainly some explosive and entertaining players in who you mentioned but full well short of great.
Amla , Michael Clarke, Kevin Peterson Alistair Cook, Ross Taylor, Stephen Fleming,Mark Richardson Gilchrist, Mark Waugh, NathanAstle, Langer, Hussey,VVS Laxman,Gayle,Andy Flower, Aravinda deSilva, Jayasuriya,Ganguly and Attapattu aswell, but at the expense of who in the list? All are greatly deserving of their position
Gavaskar was of earlier period with the likes of Lloyd, Richards, greenidge, Haynes, Majid Khan, Mudassar Nazar, Miyandad, Chappell bros,. Mendis, Dias, boycott, tavare, gooch,.gower, lamb, vengsarkar, vishwanath, so forth n so on
Lara and Tendulkar in their own league at 1 & 2, could be either of them in the number 1 spot. Next 3 in similar level would be 3. Ponting, 4. Kallis, 5. S. Smith. A bit below that level I would go 6. Sangakara, 7. Hayden, 8. Williamson, 9. Yousuf, 10. Kholi
I see a lot of comments stating that Sachin played most maches, so he scored most centuries, but why don't they think that playing so many matches is also parameter for deciding the rank. Because if u haven't this ability that means u are somehow less efficient.
How Sachin is above SIR Lara is beyond me. Lara single handly won games for hus team. Lara is the Greatest batsmen of all Time. Even the great shane Warne and Muli said Lara was their hardest batsmen to play againist.
The best innings I have ever seen at St Georges Park South Africa in the last 30 years was Mark Weighs ton against the finest S.A attack of Donald,De Villiers,Brian Macmillan etc.He batted the whole day and saved the test match.Classy act.Sorry he is not the list.
Steve smith is number 1 by a mile, I’ve never seen another batsmen where the bowling team are completely lost as to how to bowl to him, It’s also how he scored he’s runs he doesn’t just have the best average of any batsmen since Bradman, he often scored his runs when the bowling was good when the batsmen at the other end are getting bowled out. Smith is the main reason Australia remained a good test side after the retirements of Ponting and Clarke, since Clarke retired smith made himself the guy that when Australia get into trouble he really digs in
Post 80s many good batsmans emerged as openers ,amongst them most notable are sunil gavaskar ( tests ) sachin tendulkar ( odi ) are best....others near ard desmand heynes, gilchrist , abd villier, rohit sharma ( odi )
@@Mayhem-train Not correct just to count on runs only. The crucial times how a batsman scores and saves team also should be considered. Laxman scored and won the matches when others failed . He was a saviour
It's hard to just go on Test runs and Averages ,the likes of Cook and Root have had to cope with the ball jagging and seaming about for at least half of their careers.
One name which should immediately spring to mind is Waseem Jaffer... Waseem's style was that he opened the batting and continued to just play on for the next 4 days scoring 3 runs not out... His strategy was whatever ailment the feilding side was suffering from they would eventually succumb to it... One fielder had the common flu and died of frustration on the 3rd day, another fielder had a splinter in his toe and died of boredom on the 4th day and India won... TRUE STORY...
As always there will be debate. Lara and Tendulkar deserve the top spots, Sachin played with the pressure of a nation and Lara in a sub standard side. I feel Hashim Amla should have been there as well, can't forget Langer, Gilchrist, Mark Waugh, Gavaskar, Miandad , Hadlee, the list goes on. We were blessed with amazing Test batsman over the last 35 years so there will always be debate but a great list non the less
Stats does not describe greatness but the class of a batsman which is determined on the basis of quality of bowling faced and other conditions of play. V.V.S Laxman should be amongst the top five. Brian Lara should be on top of the list.
Lara averaged 39 in Australia in test cricket and if you take out the Adelaide flat track he only averaged 27 in test cricket in Australia. Which means what. That he is hoplessly overated because of a couple of huge scores on flat decks that inflates his overall average.@@rakeshsaini2891
Sachin's average started to decline after 185th test he averaged 56 to 56.5 till then.. It started to decline.. Kallis and sanga retired 2 or 3 years younger too..

Sub continent players averages boosted by low flat pitches . Sachin all time great. Some of the others couldn’t make many on pitches with seam and bounce.
Younis Khan , Sangakarra and Dravid have plenty of centuries in NZ, Eng, Aus, West Indies and South Africa, and big hundreds as well, so you are totally wrong.(King Kohli as well has loads of 100s outside sub continent)
If Sachin had played the Aussie and West Indies quicks. WITHOUT helmets. Arm . Rib cage paddings etc. Lillie..Thomo..Hogg.Len Pascoe..Andy Roberts..Malcom Marshall..Holding. Ambrose..Garner .Hadlee etc...i can guarantee that no of centuries or statistics would be a dream...So in my books .Many Indian Cricketers Starts from Sunny Gavasker. Vishy. Salim Durrani ..etc are and will be the bench marks for judging how they had the Guts and Skill to play against such killer bowlers...instead of hiding against helmets and protection. So I don't valve any greatness accorded to Cricketers who played post the Without Helmet ERA ..You play to watch how batsmen handle Raw express pace on Green Tops.. fast and bouncy without helmet .. that's the yardstick.

Younis Khan , Sangakarra and Dravid have plenty of centuries in NZ, Eng, Aus, West Indies and South Africa, and big hundreds as well, so you are totally wrong.(King Kohli as well has loads of 100s outside sub continent)
If Sachin had played the Aussie and West Indies quicks. WITHOUT helmets. Arm . Rib cage paddings etc. Lillie..Thomo..Hogg.Len Pascoe..Andy Roberts..Malcom Marshall..Holding. Ambrose..Garner .Hadlee etc...i can guarantee that no of centuries or statistics would be a dream...So in my books .Many Indian Cricketers Starts from Sunny Gavasker. Vishy. Salim Durrani ..etc are and will be the bench marks for judging how they had the Guts and Skill to play against such killer bowlers...instead of hiding against helmets and protection. So I don't valve any greatness accorded to Cricketers who played post the Without Helmet ERA ..You play to watch how batsmen handle Raw express pace on Green Tops.. fast and bouncy without helmet .. that's the yardstick.
@@silenta71 Still Sachin leads the way in the overseas record which makes him the best after Sir Bradman
Shewag in place 20 is unacceptable
How you made rankings.
Average or what?
Kallis is the best test player of all time. Batting and bowling averages elite.
Ok
Nope
Where's Andy Flower,VVS Laxman and many more Mr Cricstats?
Lara the greatest tbe highest test score no one got
Sachin was a bit better
@@SulabhSharma-ut6ko in what terms os he better .....did schin ever score a trippe century .....he may have moretest runs because his career started earlier
They should have declared should never have got that highest score.Mark Taylor would have beaten it but they declared. By the way how did that match finish did the Windies win . Lara was no match winner.
The top 2 maybe 3 is all that was right
What about azharuddin, who made three consecutive centuries in his first three matches.
