Answer 3

Agreed! so many of these cricketers are damn good in what they are doing, but hey you lot forgot about the master blaster from Sri Lanka, Sanath Jayasuriya! man, this guy destroyed the English bowlers so much today, Mr Know it all Nasser Hussain didn't even bother coming to the commentary box in the evening!
Jayasuriya played an excellent knock of 152 from 99 balls, with20 fours and 4 sixes,at a strike rate of 153.53! and set a new world record for the highest opening stand in a One Day International of 286 with Upul Tharanga! and mind you this was his 21st ODI hundred and it was just from 72 deliveries!
what a match and what a knock from the master!

Answer 4

The best cricket is Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Bret Lee and Daniel Vettori.

Answer 6

the best crickter is the one won brings glory to his country and team by playing good cricket ....
there r many great cricketers produced in the cricketing arena so definately it is very difficult to choose one of them as there may be someone who is better than the other....
so to respect the game of cricket let us assume that each and every player who plays the game irrespective of country they play r the best...
