Legends of the Last Decade

Well this is pretty good timing (or perhaps could have been posted a little later) as I will be planning on doing a Knockout competition for players of the 90’s (1990 to 1999) as soon as possible - And I’ll probably ask for nominations as to who to include…but anyway more about that later on…here’s my list of legends

  1. Curtly Ambrose

  2. Courtney Walsh - How can you leave out the leading wicket-taker in Test Match cricket?

  3. Shane Warne

  4. Wasim Akram

  5. Muttiah Muralitharan

Which means that Waqar would miss out - it was tough to leave him out

As for Batsmen well this is tougher

  1. Brian Lara

  2. Steve Waugh

  3. Sachin Tendulkar.

  4. Saeed Anwar

  5. Mark Waugh or Sanath Jaysuriya.

My 5 top bowlers are:

  1. Wasim Akram (Top of the pick)
  2. Glen McGrath (although peaked in late 90's but still good enough)
  3. Murilitharan (same as McGrath)
  4. Waqar Younis (The two W's together most lethal duo of the 90's)
  5. Shane Warne (remember that ball to Gatting?? thats enough for me)

Top 5 Batsmen

  1. Brian Lara (no contest)
  2. Tendulkar (as Lara- no contest)
  3. Steve Waugh (Captain of the side)
  4. Inzimam ul Haq (unfortunately, as I cannot stand him!!)
  5. Ranatunga (although he lost his touch towards the late 90's)
  6. Alec Stuart (as a wicket keeper in the team)

thats my 11
