Here are some of my all time favorite cricketer like: Sachin Tendulkar, Ian Jonathan Leonard Trott, Andrew Flintoff, Sir Donald Bradman, Muttiah Muralitharan, Michael Edward Killeen Hussey and AB de Villiers.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Yes Jim Parks and also now Matt Prior. There is much to commend about Prior who is arguably now the best in the world in his position in Test Match cricket.

 

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Limiting to those I have seen (and favourite rather than the best):
1 Derek Randall
the others - Gordon Greenidge, Richard Hadlee, Dennis Lillee, Brian Lara

Derek randall - totally agree, one of the best natural fielders ever.

Basil D'Olivera

Definitely worth a mention.

I never realised he started his England career so late on in his career.

It seems, that if he had played test cricket, in his prime he would be up there with the likes of Sobers and Botham.

How on earth did i forget Brian Lara!

 

[Dave the OAP]

The most stylish player I ever saw was zaheer Abbas, played for Gloucester and Pakistan and he was absolutely class and when I played for south western counties at schoolboy level, he was our batting coach.

My dad played in the Huddersfield mid week league and Lockwood had Wesley hall playing for them and he said he was the quickest bowler he ever faced.

 

[Mackenzie]

Jonty Rhodes, I named my son after him.
