If Sir Donald Bradman could be defined in one word, that word would be 'brilliance'. Practising Cricket on the outskirts of Bowral with a cricket stump and a golf ball to dominating the globe with his pristine batting, Bradman's journey was a result of his ingenuity, finesse and tenacity. Predominantly playing as a No.3 batsman, I have decided to o...
Sunil Gavaskar is unarguably the best opening batsman the world has ever witnessed. Long before the advent of legends like Tendulkar, Dravid and Ganguly, it was Gavaskar who defined consistency, establishing India on a pedestal in world cricket. The Little Master possessed all the traits of a classic Test batsman. An unparalleled technique, impecca...
The role of a No.3 batsman is indispensable in Test cricket. In case of an early wicket, the batsman has to set the tone for the innings, and coming in after a huge opening partnership he has to maintain the momentum. Rahul Dravid forms the perfect choice for this slot, as he personifies class, elegance and discipline. Labelled as "The Wall', he ha...
There cannot be a squad of greatest players without Master Blaster's name. Sachin Tendulkar has been a prolific run scorer in red ball cricket, in a career spanning over two decades. Sachin Tendulkar's career defined a benchmark of longevity, as he successfully competed with almost five generations of players. His inclusion in the squad ushers in a...
Jacques Kallis is hailed as one of the greatest all-rounders of the game, and undoubtedly the best seam-all rounder. Kallis has the third highest aggregate of runs in Tests and is second in the number of centuries. Largely regarded as a defensive batsman, the Protea could bury any opposition into dust when on song. He is one of the 4 cricketers to ...
One of the most exciting talents to have been produced by Australia, Adam Gilchrist redefined the role of a wicketkeeper. The influence wielded by him was such that wicketkeeping can be classified into two eras- the pre-Gilchrist era, and the post-Gilchrist era. Gilchrist was a ferocious striker of the ball who came out all guns blazing irrespectiv...
Wasim Akram's international career was the testimony of the saying 'Talent meets Opportunity'. Paving way into the national squad on the recommendation of Javed Miandad, Akram proved his worth in the international circuit in a very short span of time. He is the undisputed 'King of Swing', as he was adept at swinging the ball both ways. Akram was al...
A spot which was largely competitive between Glenn McGrath and Dennis Lilee, I have decided to opt for McGrath considering his exhibits in the overseas conditions. Though not the fastest, McGrath had all the weapons in his arsenal to run through the opposition's lineups. He was a metaphor of accuracy and consistency and continued his regimen throug...
A rare spin paragon nurtured in the midst the plethora of seamers, Shane Warne emerged as one of most terrifying bowlers of his generation. Shane Warne could extract the prodigious amount of turn from the track, a trait mastered by very few. Warne beguiled even the best in the business with his line and length coupled with a surreal spin. Warne exh...
The spin wizard is the first and remains the only bowler to conquer the summit of 800 Test wickets. The off-break bowler weaved magic on the 22 yards in his era, leaving many technically sound batsmen perplexed. Prodigious spin, backed by subtle variations led to his surge at the zenith of the world. Although his career was largely plagued by criti...
