Dapakiguy there is some problem in trying to start a poll.

For me the era of 1970-85 has got to be the best. The players of that era were awesome.

Australians had players like Lillie, Thomson, Walker, Walters, the Chappel brothers, Border.

India had Gavaskar, Viswanath, Vengsarakar, Kapil, Bedi, Chandrashekar and Parsanna.

Pakistan had Imran, Majid, Miandad, Zaheer, Sarfraz, Qadir (Akram also made his debut during this era in 1984/85)

The whole of the WI team was awesome

England had Boycott, Gower, Botham, Willis and Snow.

Also this era saw four genuine all rounders, Imran, Botham, Kapil Dev and Richard Hadlee.

The art of leg spin was revived by Qadir during this era.

The best era we have had.

^ Hence I said that for the purist, this was the best era.
