Sir Garfield Sobers and Viv Richards must be on any list. Had Sir Donald Bradman been playing in the 80's until present technology would show him LBW many times, and during his playing days he also faced lots of LOLLYPOP bowling. Would have love to see him against Marshall, Roberts, Holding, Wasim, and Jeff Thompson
Unless you are a student of the game and familiar with its History, you and others like you are in no position to name the greatest players of ALL time. All you can do is name the best players YOU HAPPEN to know about.
@@YTChiefCritic well,I have been watching the game from past 25 years and based on my observation I shared my opinion.yes u might differ from me but that's fine,I am not here to judge anyone ,I respect everyone's opinion.
The greatest batsman ever to grace the cricket field was Don Bradman. The only other genius was the incomparable Gary Sobers.. The others pale by way of comparison.
I find it amazing that players like tendulkar, lara, richards, who all are great bats, but how can you place them above don bradman the answer impossible Bradman averaged 99.94 The players l mentioned are averaging low 50s I dont get it, must be they know nothing about cricket and just putting in there 2c worth and pro indian people
Selection of the best batsmen in a certain order is a very subjective view even coming from the greats themselves. Making runs, having a great average, piling up centuries constitute one set of criteria. Do will also take into consideration, the quality of the bowlers they played against, the different cricketing countries they were exposed to, the fact that there was a period when pitches were uncovered notwithstanding the weather, the quality of the bats and other cricket gears, the fact that those in the 60s and early 70s did not have helmets. If we can develop a statistical ju-jitsu to accommodate these other criteria, then our subjectivity may lessen. It is then when you begin to think about Sobers, Sunil Gavaskar, Viv Richards, Weekes, Rohan Kanhai, Neil Harvey, Greg Chappelle, Dennis Compton, Peter May. Sir Donald has a phenomenal test record, but most of his cricket was played against England. Sir Garfield Sobers once rated Sunil Gavaskar above Sachin Tendulkar because of the "other" listed factors. At a "Colin Cowdrey" talks, Gavaskar, who saw Kanhai bat, and even played with in the world series, viewed him as the greatest batsman whom he saw upfront. He named his son after this West Indian maestro.
Please label correctly noty just to get clicks . This should be top 5 in last 30 years and then it still leaves much to de desired. Pointing. He is not even close to the top 10, he might make top 20. Kallis too doesn't make top 10 and I am South African. I put Lara at 3rd best West Indian batsmen and many West Indian cricket historians agree with me. Lara had many demons, his high backlift became problematic at times, And I always say about Lara he had the highest peak but lowest troughs of all great batsmen, hence Viv and Sobers are ahead of. The problem again with top 5 in last 30 years is including Bradman. Yes every de facto list will include Bradman. While I am not arguing that Bradman is not the greatest I can't tell with certainty. Here's a top 5 far more aligned with cricketing history. PAy attention 1) Sir Donald Bradman. Whilst you can argue he played aginst only 4 countries( WI, Ind,NZ and Eng of course) he was 2 classes above his peers, something ever sen again. Considering wet and uncovered pitches, lack of body armour like your list uses today his record remains one of the great sporting anomalies. He did however get worked over by ythe only really quick bowler of his time, Larwood so there is that argument. 2) Sir Garfiled Sobers: Now here is a generational talent the likes of which we will never see again. The greatest left-hander of all time., he possesed the elegance and grace of a left-hander matched with power and precision.This man was born to play cricket, the most talented ever.H held records like highest test score, first-class 6 sixes in an over, greatest all-rounder ever and he was a precursor to WI dominance. 3) Sir Viv Richards f you ever want to see a person with aura, watch video's of VIv. Not skinny little Root or twitchy Smith, but this man oozed presence. The swagger he walked to the creae with chewing gum, cap, no helmet, fearless. But most importantly he had the game to back it up.He could dominate any bowling attack probably in all era's of cricket. He was a phenomenal short ball player, great off his legs and still had a cover drive to behold, he also dominated one-day cricket when it emerged. His score of 188 will forever be remembered. Ther fact that he didn't chase numbers is a further testament to hus greatness. 4) Sachin Tendilkar: I suppose from this list you know his body of work. LOngevity, technical brilliance and ability to handle public pressure sets him apart. Not as dominant as the other 3 but his records may never be broken. 5) Sir Jack Hobbs: The greatest opener ever when opening the batting was a difficult business. He formed the greatest opening pair with Herbert Sutcliffe, a tehnical genius and the dominator in this partnership Hobbs scored over 100 first class hundreds,a truly great baatsman. Finally I drafted this list from the top of my head, without even fact checking it because I know cricket that well. You my friend should not be creating historical cricket videos because you didn't bother doing any research and this list is just an attempt to play up to an audience who might be unaware as you are. I don't assume you a journalist but basic understanding of your subject will tell you this list is pathetic
Good evening l listened to your entire presentation. I really think you made abig mistake when you said Jacques Kallis is the best allrounder of all time. A big question have you ever heard of Sir Garfield Sobers. If the answer is no do some research. If yout answer is yes go check his stats again.
As for me I would vote for Lara as the greatest batsman of all for winning matches singly against the great Australian attacks while wickets keep falling at the other ends ✌️
Ponting was a great batsman but I think he was not so strong against spin, specially in subcontinent. I would like to stand Vivian Richards at number five.
@@malikqumberofficial389 I think so two because Lara is way better than Tendulkar. I don't see are ever think . Tendulkar could make 400 .that would never ever happen. He can't bat so long
Unless you are a student of the game and familiar with its History, you and others like you are in no position to name the greatest players of ALL time. All you can do is name the best players YOU HAPPEN to know about.
@YTChiefCritic Ofcourse, Ofcourse I know this. It's just that I love this sport and would like to believe that I have a decent, a very small decent amount of knowledge about this beautiful game. Hence I put my All time best 5 test batsmen. I can name 5 more batsmen who can give tough fight to the 5 I already mentioned. I don't know if u have any knowledge of cricket or its rich history, so assuming you are a novice let me tell you even if the late and great student of this beautiful sport, Mr Richie Beanaud was to put his own list of top 5 batsmen, even that list could be highly debated because test match cricket started way back in 1877 so even he had not seen them all. I hope I have given you a befitting reply.
I am tired to hear fool , fool comments about the greatest batsmen of all times, how can a man great. Without runs or wickets, Lara, Sobers, Viv Richards is way down the line according to scoring of runs. If Tendulkar is the world's leading batsman in runs and centuries 100 , comparing to baby Lara, Viv Richards, and Sobers, Ricky Pointing is 2nd in runs and centuries, Jacques Kills, and Sangakarra 4th also Joe Root 5th and. This guy is saying that none of top batsmen is not in the top 20 batsmen in the world. Sobers only scored one 8,032 test runs and 26 centuries including 365 not out and that makes him great. Viv Richards scores 8,500 test runs with 24 centuries with top scores of 291, Lara is not that bad with 11,952 runs with 34 centuries, with 375, also 400 not out and that making ahead of the other batsmen who out scores him , in both test runs also centuries. All of these guys with is supporting this nonsense, they must be on drugs. People got fames by your production of scoring and the long time, that you played in the sports. That is why it is called test cricket, because you are put to a test about your fitness, long endurance and scoring abilities in any conditions. So I don't know where these guys came with these stupid idea, that the leading scorers is no good as the people them with lower amount of runs and centuries. How can you define that to me, about the greatest batsmen in the world.
Somebody should remind you that cricket existed BEFORE 1970 which suggests you know nothing at all about Cricket History. You even have the nerve to name the greatest batsmen of all time (with the exception of Bradman) as recent players, so I wonder what sort of game George Headley and Jack Hobbs and W G Grace were playing? Have you even heard of these people? Go to your local library and correct your profound ignorance of this great game.
Tendulkar is a good batsman bradman have to br number 1 because of hid average tendulkar is good ab Consistent but if u ask most people even tendulkar himself said it he would love to had the flair of lara Most people would rathet to watch lara if ask them
Sachin is light year behind lara. Test cricket is real cricket. If we keep Sir Don out of the context, then Sir Garfield sobers , Sunil Gavskar and LARA are the best batsmen in the Test. The innings these guys played against quality bowling attack and under pressure which Sachin never played. Sachin never played under pressure. Sachin never win matches in Test. His second inning run chase Avg is very very poor which shows he is not mentally tough and Gutsy player like Gavaskar, LARA, Steve Waugh and other Gr8s. No one (great cricketers) have said sachin is all time Gr8 except Few Indian cricketer of Sachin's friends and Team mates. They only praise but it doesn't mean that sachin is all time gr8. All Gr8s have put Lara above sachin becz the innings Lara played in Test cricket which sachin never played . Sachin can only dream about it. We INDIAN People are just spectator and do not have cricketing knowledge. We just see country cricket and dont follow world cricket. We do not know what happened in the past who played... how they played. Against which bowling attack. We hv zero knowledge of cricket. have anyone seen Sir Garfield sobers batting ( I mean on You tube) ? How he is batting? How he scored runs? His shots? He is natural like Lara. Do you people know he has scored 365 runs ? Hit 6 sixes in an over. have anyone seen Gavaskar 221 innings at oval 1979 chasing 437 in fourth innings? The match end up with draw with 2 wickets remaining. Sunil Gavaskar was 8th wicket and only few overs remaining to close the fifth day, Do you know he made 14 centaury against west indies killer fast bowling attack MARSHAL HOLDING ROBERS GARNER? Except Sunil Gavaskar No one stood in front of them in that era . Hope we spectator know these west indies bowlers.. have anyone seen Lara's match winnings 153 against Australia (Mcgrath, Gillespi, Shane Warn) in 4th innings? from 91 for 5 wickets, he did 200 runs partnership wit last 5 players and win the match with one wicket remaining ( Hats off to Walsh for playing 4 balls of Gillespi and gave Lara a chance). One can only dream such a innings. There are many such innings these guys hv played in TEST. All I cannot put here. Go and search on you tube. Go and see them first then I am sure u people will think differently with cricketing mind and not by heart. Show me sachin's a single innings (like these guys played )where he played and win test match in 2nd innings run chase except one against Pakistan 139 which he got out playing a stupid shot when only 15 runs required and 4 wickets in hand. Now Don't say his back was paining. No excuse please. Scoring 100 or 1000 century is not imp but how you scored, in which situation u scored that is imp. Wisden cricket hv not considered his single century out of 100 in their top list. Sachin completely failed. Thanks god Lara played in the same era in which sachin played so we came to know the huge gap between the gr8 lara and sachin. LARA u r GENIUS. Many Many love to the Gr8 LARA from India. All the gr8s in LARA and sachin's era put LARA above sachin. ---Murli th-cam.com/video/vT0ykG_EGjM/w-d-xo.html ----Wasim th-cam.com/users/shortsH9sEkypaITY?si=tNHGw258D6Ckk4yR ----Sangakara th-cam.com/video/iM7P4qCOqNA/w-d-xo.html ---Bret lee th-cam.com/users/shortsBO9fajryigQ?si=hkA7KPkJyvy0Howc ---Mcgrath www.hindustantimes.com/cricket/he-was-fearless-glenn-mcgrath-picks-tougher-opponent-between-sachin-tendulkar-and-brian-lara/story-02r729q8TmQjTXEkxxWz1N.html ---Ponting x.com/SkyCricket/status/1842285398661185646?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1842285398661185646%7Ctwgr%5E41a2c2b5da6eb42abe7064caa6b9a81430f9750b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-653334405202178924.ampproject.net%2F2409191841000%2Fframe.html
You were right when you said Indians don't know much about cricket! If you knew anything about cricket at all,you would know that Gavaskar scored only 5 centuries against the W I(all on dead,lifeless pitches) and not the ridiculous sum of 14 you have suggested.
@@davifdavid4347 That is the problem with u zero knowledge people. even u do not know that he scored 13 centuaries against WI. thanks god atleast u know that gavaskar is cricketer. Go and check. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_cricket_centuries_by_Sunil_Gavaskar Thanks for proving that we indian just spectator.
@@davifdavid4347 Check before putting any comments. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_cricket_centuries_by_Sunil_Gavaskar that's what i said we r just spectator.

@arunkamble6691 Why did you reply then,since you said you won't reply?! Your midget god, Gavaskar, only scored either 3, or was it 5 centuries against the 4 horsemen. He scored 2 centuries in 1976 on the deadest pitch in the Caribbean, Port of Spain, which was as dead as the dead pitches in India,and 1 century in 1983 in the 6th Test in India. All the other centuries he scored came against second-rate attacks, in which the 4 horsemen were not party to because of Kerry Packer's circus,or were partially party to due to injury of one or more bowlers. Either way,all of his 13 and not 14 centuries, as stated by you,were acquired on completely flat pitches. Thanks for taking the bait.
Folly is the reason for most recent memory and less of the past. The whole lot of BS that comes out of a narcissist is all about themselves. Sure enough! Don is great. But then he is not the only one. People who watched Gary Sobers, Viv Richards, Jack Hobbs, Wally Hammond would have their opinion too. They played in a time when Cricket was a gentleman's game; no pitch fixing to suit batsman; no mediocre bowling and certainly no ball tampering. Like many, they were in the past and faded away into oblivion. Likewise, within a generation, Lara, Ricky, Alan and Sachin will fade away too.
You seem to be one of the FEW people who has any idea of Cricket History - the rest of the comments here come from ignorant people who only know about cricketers of THEIR OWN TIME.
I am really tired of this nonsense about the greatest test batsmen of all times, I would like to know what is the criteria of greatness. If it is the most runs and centuries overall the long time that you play, but some of the batsmen that you guys are talking about. They does not have enough runs to be classified as great batsmen, the top 5 batsmen in test cricket. Tendulkar one, Ponting, 2 Jacques Kallis 3 ,Sangakkara 4, This guy from England is 5 .Lara is not in the top 5 batsmen leading scorer in test, there are only 4 batsmen in test cricket with 2 triple centuries in test cricket Bradman, Lara, Gayle and Sewag, so let me hear how you guys is going to defined greatness by the amount of runs or by recording.
We would need to factor in a lot of stuffs before thinking of making such a list. At the end of the day, what weightage you give to factors is going to be purely subjective
Bro you got it all wrong great batsman make runs that win games. Sir Viv is the best he did it everywhere and in the three decades that saw the most fearsome bowling ever every seen. People seem to forget Sir Viv faced all the West Indies greats from the 70's to the 90's every single season on some or the quickest wickets on the planet and not the dust bowls in India and Sri Lanka.
@@aleciastephenson7969 Like most modern batsman their career totals have been inflated by filling their boots against the lesser teams Sir Viv never played against Lara averages against the minnows Zimbabwe 55.5 Sri Lanka 86.54 Bangladesh 86.50 Remove those and his averages Is lower than Sir VIV's against much lesser bowling on friendlier wickets
@@aleciastephenson7969ok. Then why didn’t Lara play more matches? Because he couldn’t sustain at the highest level the way Tendulkar did. I’m a massive fan of Lara and he is in the Top 3. But that doesn’t mean you can diminish the achievements of others
Unless you are a student of the game and familiar with its History, you and others like you are in no position to name the greatest players of ALL time. All you can do is name the best players YOU HAPPEN to know about.
Agree that Sir Donald Bradman was the greatest. All batsmen named were truly great players .Kinda difficult to leave out two masters though Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Vivían Richards.

Except Sunil Gavaskar No one stood in front of them in that era . Hope we spectator know these west indies bowlers..
have anyone seen Lara's match winnings 153 against Australia (Mcgrath, Gillespi, Shane Warn) in 4th innings? from 91 for 5 wickets, he did 200 runs partnership wit last 5 players and win the match with one wicket remaining ( Hats off to Walsh for playing 4 balls of Gillespi and gave Lara a chance). One can only dream such a innings.
There are many such innings these guys hv played in TEST. All I cannot put here. Go and search on you tube.
Go and see them first then I am sure u people will think differently with cricketing mind and not by heart.
Show me sachin's a single innings (like these guys played )where he played and win test match in 2nd innings run chase except one against Pakistan 139 which he got out playing a stupid shot when only 15 runs required and 4 wickets in hand. Now Don't say his back was paining. No excuse please.
Scoring 100 or 1000 century is not imp but how you scored, in which situation u scored that is imp.
Wisden cricket hv not considered his single century out of 100 in their top list. Sachin completely failed.
Thanks god Lara played in the same era in which sachin played so we came to know the huge gap between the gr8 lara and sachin.
LARA u r GENIUS.
Many Many love to the Gr8 LARA from India.
All the gr8s in LARA and sachin's era put LARA above sachin.

You were right when you said Indians don't know much about cricket! If you knew anything about cricket at all,you would know that Gavaskar scored only 5 centuries against the W I(all on dead,lifeless pitches) and not the ridiculous sum of 14 you have suggested.
@@davifdavid4347 That is the problem with u zero knowledge people. even u do not know that he scored 13 centuaries against WI. thanks god atleast u know that gavaskar is cricketer. Go and check.

Thanks for proving that we indian just spectator.
@@davifdavid4347 Check before putting any comments.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_cricket_centuries_by_Sunil_Gavaskar
that's what i said we r just spectator. Do not hv cricketing knowledge. Thanks for proving it. Also, Thanks tht atleast u know Gavaskar is a cricketer. Henceforth will not reply people like u who do not know anything abt cricket.
@arunkamble6691 Why did you reply then,since you said you won't reply?! Your midget god, Gavaskar, only scored either 3, or was it 5 centuries against the 4 horsemen. He scored 2 centuries in 1976 on the deadest pitch in the Caribbean, Port of Spain, which was as dead as the dead pitches in India,and 1 century in 1983 in the 6th Test in India. All the other centuries he scored came against second-rate attacks, in which the 4 horsemen were not party to because of Kerry Packer's circus,or were partially party to due to injury of one or more bowlers. Either way,all of his 13 and not 14 centuries, as stated by you,were acquired on completely flat pitches. Thanks for taking the bait.
Where is sunil gavaskar
Too many legends in Test cricket
Folly is the reason for most recent memory and less of the past. The whole lot of BS that comes out of a narcissist is all about themselves. Sure enough! Don is great. But then he is not the only one. People who watched Gary Sobers, Viv Richards, Jack Hobbs, Wally Hammond would have their opinion too. They played in a time when Cricket was a gentleman's game; no pitch fixing to suit batsman; no mediocre bowling and certainly no ball tampering. Like many, they were in the past and faded away into oblivion. Likewise, within a generation, Lara, Ricky, Alan and Sachin will fade away too.
You seem to be one of the FEW people who has any idea of Cricket History - the rest of the comments here come from ignorant people who only know about cricketers of THEIR OWN TIME.
Ricky Tomos Ponting
Absolutely!
I am really tired of this nonsense about the greatest test batsmen of all times, I would like to know what is the criteria of greatness. If it is the most runs and centuries overall the long time that you play, but some of the batsmen that you guys are talking about. They does not have enough runs to be classified as great batsmen, the top 5 batsmen in test cricket. Tendulkar one, Ponting, 2 Jacques Kallis 3 ,Sangakkara 4, This guy from England is 5 .Lara is not in the top 5 batsmen leading scorer in test, there are only 4 batsmen in test cricket with 2 triple centuries in test cricket Bradman, Lara, Gayle and Sewag, so let me hear how you guys is going to defined greatness by the amount of runs or by recording.
We would need to factor in a lot of stuffs before thinking of making such a list. At the end of the day, what weightage you give to factors is going to be purely subjective
Tendulkar is the best batsman both in test cricket and ODI .
@@cvenkat7766 Master Blaster
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is undoubtedly the number one Test batsman.
@@MallaAppadu The Master Blaster
Bro you got it all wrong great batsman make runs that win games.
Sir Viv is the best he did it everywhere and in the three decades that saw the most fearsome bowling ever every seen.
People seem to forget Sir Viv faced all the West Indies greats from the 70's to the 90's every single season on some or the quickest wickets on the planet and not the dust bowls in India and Sri Lanka.
@@malidan1196 Why will Vivian face the West Indies greats?
Viv was great but did not face the West indies fearsome 4 some at Test level which is where we are all judged ..
@@malidan1196 Brian lara too.
@@aleciastephenson7969
Not in the best bowling era of cricket and not to dominates almost 3 decades.
@@aleciastephenson7969
Like most modern batsman their career totals have been inflated by filling their boots against the lesser teams Sir Viv never played against
Lara averages against the minnows
Zimbabwe 55.5
Sri Lanka 86.54
Bangladesh 86.50
Remove those and his averages Is lower than Sir VIV's against much lesser bowling on friendlier wickets
Where Tendulkar become the god of cricket..unu fucking fool .he only has one bag a hundred.nothing else . Have Tendulkar ever made 250 in test .
@@aleciastephenson7969 Has anyone scored more runs or more centuries than him in Tests?
@@infinitesportsverse how many matches did he took to doit .almost twice the amount of which Brian lara played .
@@aleciastephenson7969ok. Then why didn’t Lara play more matches? Because he couldn’t sustain at the highest level the way Tendulkar did. I’m a massive fan of Lara and he is in the Top 3. But that doesn’t mean you can diminish the achievements of others
I need to see Tendulkar score 300 an he couldn't.sawag did
@@aleciastephenson7969 lol. Then Sehwag should have made the list
Brian Lara
Sachin Tendulkar
Ricky Ponting
Vivian Richards
Virat Kohli
@@ramansrinivasan4452 Good list but you can’t leave out Sir Bradman
Unless you are a student of the game and familiar with its History, you and others like you are in no position to name the greatest players of ALL time. All you can do is name the best players YOU HAPPEN to know about.
Agree that Sir Donald Bradman was the greatest. All batsmen named were truly great players .Kinda difficult to leave out two masters though Sir Garfield Sobers and Sir Vivían Richards.
@@ashtongoorachan5168 Agree but the list is a tight one
Suppri. Dennama❤❤
Javed Miandad
Virat kohli
Ricky ponting
Vivian Richards
Brian Lara
@@AR-Entertainment74 👍🏻
Bradman cant be one. He didnt play in technology. Probably hes dismiss lots of time lbw, caught and still contiune batting
99.94
AB De Villiers
Viv Richard’s
ABD is my personal favourite. But unfortunately would not make the Top Test teams
