Who are the greatest batsmen ever – Part 2 (10-1)?
Continuing off from the Greatest Batsman of all time article, which counted down the best batsmen from 20-11, here are numbers 10-1 in reverse order, with an additional comment at the end for those Test countries not represented in my list:
10. Victor Trumper (Australia) – 48 Tests, 8 100s, 13 50s, Average 39.04, HS 214*
Widely acknowledged as the best Australian batsman before Bradman, Trumper was both stylish and versatile with a penchant for playing match-winning innings on treacherous wet wickets. After scoring 135 not out against England at Lord’s in 1899, Grace gifted Trumper his own bat with the inscription “From the present champion to the future champion.”
9. Herbert Sutcliffe (England) – 54 Tests, 16 100s, 23 50s, Average 60.73, HS 194
Sutcliffe’s name always seems to be inexplicably left on the margins when discussions as to who is the best ever English batsman. Perhaps this is because his he opened the batting with Hobbs and played in the same era as Hammond. Whatever the reasons, Sutcliffe deserves recognition in his own right – the fourth highest Test match batting average of all-time for players with at least 20 innings, a fantastic record against Australia and prodigious run scoring for country and Yorkshire alike.
8. Brian Lara (West Indies) – 131 Tests, 34 100s, 48 50s, Average 52.88, HS 400*
The man with the highest Test and First Class scores of 400 not out and 501 not out respectively, Lara is the fourth of six West Indians on the list. When he started his career, West Indian dominance was on the wane. By the time he finished it, his side was in the doldrums and as a result he spent most of his time trying to keep the West Indies afloat making his record even more impressive. Perhaps his best achievement was in 1999 in the home series against Australia, when he single-handedly won the second and third tests with scores of 213 and 153 not out after his side had been obliterated in the first test. He scored a century too in the fourth and final test, but couldn’t prevent Australia squaring the series.
7. George Headley (West Indies) – 22 Tests, 10 100s, 5 50s, Average 60.83, HS 270*
Like Brian Lara over 60 years later, Headley had to keep a struggling side afloat. He managed this scoring a staggering ten centuries in his 22 Tests with his scoring feats leading to him being dubbed the ‘Black Bradman’. Headley was noted for his phenomenal back foot play and the time he seemed to have to play the ball, with such a shrewd judge as Len Hutton declaring that he had never seen a batsman play the ball later.
6. Ricky Ponting (Australia) – 136* Tests, 38 100s, 48 50s, Average 55.88, HS 257
The outstanding batsman playing the game today, Ponting is widely acknowledged as the best Australian batsman since Bradman – high praise indeed. One of Ponting’s main strengths is his versatility in that he can score quickly, counter-attack or tough it out when the situation demands. Other strengths include his consistency and his habit of playing match winning innings.
5. Vivian Richards (West Indies) – 121 Tests, 24 100s, 45 50s, Average 50.23, HS 291
Regarded by cricket aficionados as probably the most devastating batsman in the history of the game, King Viv was absolutely unstoppable on his day. His style was a mixture of swagger and intimidation and most bowlers seemed to visibly cower when faced with an on-song Richards. It is befitting that he is the scorer of the fastest-ever Test century, from just 56 balls against England in his home island of Antigua during the 1986 tour.
4. Jack Hobbs (England) – 61 Tests, 15 100s, 28 50s, Average 56.94, HS 211
Popularly referred to as ‘The Master’, Hobbs scored more runs (61,760) and more centuries (199) than anyone else in the history of the sport – and but for the Great War these figures could have been more spectacular still. His opening partnership with Herbert Sutcliffe is considered to be the best England and maybe the game has seen. Hobbs made his first class debut against a side captained by W.G.Grace who presciently observed that “He’s goin’ to be a good’un”. Even the learned Doctor could not have realised how ‘good’ Hobbs would become.
3. Walter Hammond (England) – 85 Tests, 22 100s, 24 50s, Average 58.45, HS 336*
Throughout his career, Hammond was often compared to Bradman, which is testament to what a great player he was, and he was included in the Don’s all-time XI. His seven Test double centuries has only been surpassed by Bradman and Brian Lara, and Hammond certainly had an ability to get big scores. His most notable series came on the tour of Australia in 1928-29 when he scored an incredible 905 runs at 113.12 in the five Tests. This has only been surpassed once – by Bradman, of course.
2. Garfield Sobers (West Indies) – 93 Tests, 26 100s, 30 50s, Average 57.78, HS 365*
Widely regarded as Cricket’s greatest all-rounder, Sobers was so good with the bat that he also ranks behind only the immortal Bradman on this list. Sobers mixed elegance with power and for a long time held the record for the highest Test score until he was usurped by his fellow West Indian Brian Lara. Perhaps his best innings though came for the Rest of the World against Australia in 1972 when Sobers played an innings of 254 which was described by Bradman as “probably the greatest exhibition of batting ever seen in Australia”.
1. Donald Bradman (Australia) – 52 Tests, 29 100s, 13 50s, Average 99.94, HS 334
Who else? No self-respecting list of the greatest batsmen ever could have anyone else at its head. Has anyone dominated their sport as much as Bradman? It almost defies belief that his average of 99.94 is almost 40 runs higher than the second best for 20 completed innings (Graeme Pollock at 60.97). Of his many staggering batting feats, here are three examples. First, his consecutive triple centuries at Headingley in the Ashes tests of 1930 and 1934. Second, his 974 runs in five tests during the 1930 Ashes series in England including three double centuries – both records. Finally, his second innings knock of 270 during the Third Test at Melbourne during the Ashes series of 1936/37, which was rated by Wisden as the best test match innings of all time in 2001. It enabled Australia, who were two down in the series, to win the match and they completed a remarkable turnaround by winning the fourth (Bradman making 212) and fifth (Bradman, 169) tests – still the only time a team has come back from two down to win a test match rubber, and Bradman was the captain of course.
So, there we have it. Six West Indians, six who represented England, four Australians, two Indians and one each from South Africa and Pakistan. Obviously, a number of great players failed to make the cut and as I said yesterday it was an agonising process to get down to the final 20. Indians, South Africans and Pakistanis may feel aggrieved that their nations do not have a higher representation. Rest assured that Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, Dudley Nourse, Barry Richards (ruled out by the virtue of having only played four tests), Zaheer Abbas and Inzamam-ul-Haq were all there or thereabouts.
From England, no place could be found for Denis Compton, Peter May, Ted Dexter or David Gower. On the other side of the World in Australia, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Neil Harvey, Stan McCabe and Adam Gilchrist all failed to make the cut. And those swashbuckling West Indians Frank Worrell, Gordon Greenidge and Clive Lloyd also deserve a mention.
For those countries not represented, Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Aravinda da Silva were all considered from Sri Lanka, as was Andy Flower from Zimbabwe and Martin Crowe, Martin Donnelly, Glenn Turner and Bert Sutcliffe from New Zealand. Bangladesh have yet to produce a great batsman, but undoubtedly they will as they continue to improve in the Test match arena.
you left out sachin tendulkar? which self respecting list of greatest batsmen ever could leave sachin tendulkar out of it?

[Reply]
Nice effort here although, as many folk seem to think, Tendulkar surely belongs in the batting line up of the all time team. I agree with the rest of your top 5, although I would reorder it. Anyway I think the top 6 batters (for the all time team) should be ordered as follows:
6. Hobbs
5. Hammond
4. Richards
3. Sobers
2. Tendulkar
1. Bradman
[Reply]
you must be of out of your mind for leaving sachin out of top 5… he definitely one of the greatest batsman game has ever seen and definitely best of his generation and only lara is great enough to be compared to him.
Ponting??? You got to be kidding…. he is one of the best of his era but still far behind sachin and lara.

So people so easily have erased Rahul Dravid’s efforts?

Thanks for your top 10 Mahipal, which I am pleased to see contains pretty much the same names as mine with the exception of Sachin for Trumper. On reflection, I should have put Sachin in the top 10 (rather than at number 11), but I still wouldn’t place him ahead of Hammond, Hobbs or Richards.

Bradman played cricket 65 years back only against 2 teams in the world. There were no one day ODI matches then. Fielding was not that much focused on. Whenever batsman try to hit a shot fielders even wouldn’t bother to run to stop a four. It was easy to score runs with less pressure. Umpiring was not at its best. batsmen were given benefit of doubt always. So I think Sachin Tendulkar is the best of all.

Sachin should be in the top 5 for my money

2. Still batting at the age of 40,
3. Holding millions of fans expectations

This is rubbish. It not the amount of runs that you make but the situation in which you contribute. A fifty in a winning cause is more important than a triple hundred on a flat pitch where the test is drawn.
We all talk about Sachin, of course he is a great batsman, what about gavaskar. He played the best fats bowlers without helmet. Its not easy. Its really difficult to tell 10 batsman but my choice would be.
Bradman
Sachin
Gavaskar
Lara
Zaheer Abbas

Bradman had the entire cricket world on his sholders, he pulled nearly every cricket follower of the day through the great depression and gave them something to enjoy and appreciate. Bradman will always be fair and away better than Sachin, dont get me wrong I think Sachin is the second best of all time and has done fantastic things.

As the editor of World Cricket Watch, I can see that this comment thread is starting to get a little out of hand. I just wanted to clear up a few things…
1) Contrary to popular belief as it seems, all the team at World Cricket Watch in fact love the ‘little master’. As a special tribute to Sachin Tendulkar, we’ve even compiled a place to pay tribute. It features videos of his centuries and records, articles on his career and anything else we can find on the great man.
http://worldcricketwatch.com/video/sachin-tendulkar-videos/
If you have anything else to add to this space please suggest it in the comments.
2) We consider Sachin to be the finest batsmen of his generation. Better than Lara and better than Ponting.
You can listen to our discussion in episode 6 of the weekly cricket podcast entitled “One Hand One Bounce”
http://worldcricketwatch.com/podcasts/listen-to-one-hand-one-bounce-cricket-podcast-episode-6/
Or you might like to read “The Fine Wine Debate” as Ponting and Sachin face off…
http://worldcricketwatch.com/stories/opinion/tendulkar-vs-ponting-the-fine-wine-debate/
3) Since this article was first written way back in 2009, Sachin has gone from strength to strength and has made the author subsequently change his viewpoint. David Green now concedes that Sachin edges it over the likes of Lara and Ponting. In a more recent article he even goes as far to consider Sachin surpassing Don Bradman as the greatest batsman of all time.

Rather than picking apart the list further, why not join the debate…
Who would you pick in your top 10 batsmen of all time???
[Reply]
Good Effort.Impressive work.However I feel Sachin Tendulkar definitely comes in the top 5 if not in the top3! Imagine scorong almost 100 International hundreds and 30,000 runs carrying more pressure than any great batsman of any era!I praise your rating of Gary Sobers so high who I place the most complete batsman of all afterthe War,considering his brillliance in a crisis im any conditions and against the best fast bowling.Viv Richards was he most devastating player ever and the best ever agaisnt quick bowling,while Jack Hobbs to me was the closest challenger to the Don as he was a champion on bad ,wet tracks and scored more than half his runs after the first World War.At his best Brian Lara was possibly the best in the modern era witha penchant for scoring mammoth scores and bearing the brunt of one of the weakest batting sides,like noone ever,in terms of percentage runs since Sir George Headley.To me Lara should atleast be in the top-5-6.
To me one ommission was Rohan Kanhai,who posessed more raw ability than even the Don.Rohan was a champion against fast bowling and a great player on bad tracks who could have been the greatest had he played to his full potential.Sunil Gavaskar,considering he faced the greatset bowlers should be in the top 12 at par with Len Hutton,.Considering his mastery over great attacks I would rate Greg Chapell,marginally ahead of Ricky Ponting,just as Allan Border would edge out Javed Miandad.Geoerge Headley should make the top 123 considering his genius on wet tracks and his carrying the brunt of such a weak team.I am happy with the justice you have given to Victor Trumper and Graeme Pollock.Pollock to me just makes it in the top 12 with his amazing prowess.Barry Richards would probably have been the most complete batsman after Bradman had he played International Cricket as he confirmed in World Series Cricket.
Anyway well done on your work.My tentative list is
1.Bradman
2.Hobbs
3.Sobers
4.Sachin Tendulkar
5.Viv Richards
6.Brian Lara
7.Walter Hammond
8.Graeme Pollock
9.Sunil Gavaskar
10.Len Hutton
11.Greg Chappell.
12George Headley
13.Barry Richards
14.Rohan Kanhai
15.Allan Border
16.Javed Miandad
17.Victor Trumper
18 Ricky Ponting
19.Everton Weekes
20.Virendra Sehwag.

Almost There Gr8 Job, Just that I wanted to see Sachin on no. 2 spot, & also would have loved to see Steve Waugh & Rahul Dravid in the list………
[Reply]
I must also mention that you omitted Allan Border ,the greatest champion in a losing cause who scored prolifically against the greatest pace and spin bowling in all types of conditions.See his statistics against the great Carribbean attack ,home and away and his master of turning and seaming tracks.Steve Waugh similarly merits consideration but Allan Border has to be in the top 20.Even Rahul Dravid ,the ultimate man in a crisis has been omitted.When the chips were down such batsman eclipsed the likes of the Viv Richards or Sachin Tendulkars.
I praise your high ranking of George Headley but I feel Ponting has been overrated.He is a great player but has not faced the kind of pressure which Tendulkar or Lara have encountered ,playing for a champion team.Imagine Sachin and Lara playing for the champion Australian team.They may have averaged even 57+ runs.
[Reply]
Dear me…this really is a terrible list.
Trumper who played 50 years ago, never played in India, Sri Lanka or against any quality spin. Averaged 39 and he’s ranked above a Tendulkar?
How does Headly with a mere 20 test even make the list? Why not include Barry Richards if you’re going to do that.
Poor list.
[Reply]
hey guys ….lets chill, this list includes all those cricketers who are mortal human beings and it would be very unfair for craps like pointing , lara , breadman to be compared to GOD……to the editor ….ur list is fair and excellent

Interesting that you have Trumper in the list. Two names though which hurt the eye are Sutcliffe and Ponting, who merit a place in top 20 but not in top 10. Lara was such a primma donna that he too should make it only to a top 15.
Tendulkar, Gavaskar and Graeme Pollock are startling omissions.
[Reply]
It would seem that some of the people commenting on this post are perhaps a little unbalanced.
Like it or not Bradman averaged 99.94 in Tests, which is nearly 40 runs higher than anyone else. Even if you take into account different eras, standard of pitches, quality of bowlers etc it is pretty difficult to argue against that.
The debate should be centred on who is the second best batsman ever. Like a handful of others (Hobbs, Hammond, Richards, Sobers etc), Sachin has a claim to be first in line to the throne, but Bradman is unquestionably the King.
And as for Kapil Dev, Arvind – are you seriously saying that he is one of the best 20 batsmen ever? Great all-rounder yes, but he wouldn’t even make it into a list of the ten best Indian batsmen ever.
[Reply]
this is a waste, most 3rd class rating………
sachin tendulkar is not in this list…..this is the most socking….
victor trumper is in this list, its funny.
sachin tendulkar is world best player all time cricket history.

first of all what is test???? it is not only about runs it is about situations created till 5 days and the best should be the one who fits in it. if runs only matter then i can agree such list for T20 and for odi. dont compare players who are gone. they all are gone, if you want to chose in between them go for voting it is sure sachin will come no 1 but what about two anchors of test cricket rahul dravid the wall an vvs laxman???? these two players are borne to play test. If that is no the case bhajji is 1
[Reply]
If you are Indian, you are mad about Sachin not being here. Sachin caves in under pressure and that is no sign of greatness. He should be number 10
