Weight With Points And Rate !
◆*ICC World Test Eleven *◆
{ All time points and rating based all time greatest Eleven declared by ICC }
*Yeah statistics on testimonials are only the criteria to measure any cricketer’s greatness and here the ICC is right but talk about class then there are two batsmen who do not deserve the place in this all time greatest Eleven and they are Steve Smith and Ricky Ponting why it is so because Steve Smith’s batting style is unconventional and odd though he collects runs in his way playing uncricketing shots and on stats he is rich and his batting average stands 2nd highest after Don Bradman and due to prosperous statistics he has been selected for the Gary Soberse ICC award of the Test arena and left behind Virat Kohli,Joe Root ,Ken Williamson the contemporary great batters of this decade 2011 to 2020. But in my critic the batsman who gets a fatal blow on the electrifying delivery of Jofra Archer and fell down on the ground so his technique is in the question and ask could he face genuine fast bowlers in the heavyweight Test where is no limitations of the bouncers and beamers . And Ricky Ponting who remained uneasy against spinner like Harbhajan Singh whose bowling average is plus 32 though Sachin Tendulkar put Bhajji in his all time best Ekeven.So to the bitter fact I underestimate Punter because in my sense the perfect batsman is always in comfort and domain against any kind of bowler. Yes it’s amazing that batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar,Viv Richards ,Brian Lara ,Sunil Gavaskar ,Wally Hammond, Graham Pollock , Everton Weeks , Rahul Dravid, AB De villiers, C Walcott ,Greg Chappal, Dennis Compton ,Berry Richards ,Ken Berrington,Neil Harve,Victor Trumper, Clem Hill , Jeffrey Boycott , Colin Cowdrey Arthur Morris ,Sid Barnes , Stan Mackbey ,Charlie Macarteney,Warren Bardsley ,WG Grace,Ranjit Singh ,Duleep Singh,Martin Crow,Greg Turner,Jawed Muandad couldn’t get the place and in the bowling attack there is no genuine lightening fast and spinner like Frank Tyson, D. Richardson, Herald
Larwood, Bill Vose, Stathem,Bedser,F Truman , Jim Laker, John Snow ,Bob Willis, Chris Old ,Derrick Underwood,Tom Richard Hadlee, Fazal Mahmood, F Spoforth, Charlie Turner ,C Grimate,Ray Libdwal, Jeff Thompson ,
,Alan Davidson , G Mackenzie,Max Walker, Dennis Lillee, Mike Procter C McDermott,G McGrath , Shane Warne Melcom Marshall, A Roberts,M Holding , Curtley Ambrose, C Craft , C Walsh ,Alan Donald , Abot, W Hall,C Griffiths,W Akram ,W Yunus and great wicketkeeper like Adam Gilchrist, Alan Knott, Rodney Marsh ,Bert Oldfield, Godfrey Evans, Les Amiss, Mark Boucher and potential all-rounder like Keith Miller,Jack Gregory, Jacques Kallis, Warren Armstrong, Monty Noble, Richie Banaud,Tony Greg,Ian Bothom, Chris Cairns etc . But for the Eleven there is limitation and requiring only 11 players for the different slot. So these greats couldn’t comprised in the 11. And it was the points and rated based squad so these cricketers could not be placed in this Eleven . But okay this Eleven is very powerful at each front because it has equipped with two greatest opening batsmen who played in the bowling domain era . Yeah at the 1st down or top order Rickey Ponting who is decent batsman who was running neck to neck to Sachin the great but retired due to Australia’s selection process and at the 2nd down the real legend in stats’ concerned yeah one and only Sir Donald Bradman and then followed modern great (2010 to 2021) Steve Smith whose getting runs ability in the nonconservative style like Javed Miandad and Shivnarayan Chandrapal and then at the 4th Down greatest Batting all-rounder yeah undisputed one and onlyb Garry Soberse then at the 5th doen formidable batsman Kumar Sangkara whose performance is said Bradmansque. Yes then starts the tail and bowling all-rounder beau Imran Khan whose bowling stats and real impact with class is wonderful and as the batter his average is 37 plus and only Keith Miller stands nearer and quite matchable. Then Sydney Barnes and George Lohamann the medium pacer and most stingy in WSR (wicket taking) and impressive in class and also economically the thriftiest and at the bottom his era’s fatal most abd highest wicket taker spin maestro Muthaiya Murlidharan. Thus top to bottom the dense and compact player who can turn the match on their ways.

●Evaluation : Yeah two outstanding classic , firm opening batsmen from the land of England. Ricky Ponting, Don Bradman and Steve Smith from the land of Kangaroos, Australia. Yeah Kumar Sabgkara a class and solid batsman and an energetic skilled wicketkeeper. And wow two greatest all-rounder of the earth planet Garry Soberse and Imran Khan . Yeah one is the batting- bowling all-rounder and other is bowling-batting all-rounder . Yeah one is medium
orthodox versatile styled bowler and second is the genuine speedster yeah one is from the West Indies and other is from subcontinent’s nation Pakistan .
And Sydney Barnes and George Lohamann from the land of UK who are the most terrific bowler who were genuine medium pacers with class impact and awesome Strike Rate (SR) and in the ICC rating no one is nearer to these two bowling masters .
So I respect the ICC that has its measurements to have experts panel under which these all rest giant.
But being a critic I would put my All Time Best World Eleven here to have bit amendment. Yeah that is as—
【1】Sunil Gavaskar 【C】
【2】.Andy Flower (wk)
【3】Graeme Pollock
【4】Don Bradman
【5】Sachin Tendulkar
【6】Garry Soberse
【7】Jaques Kallis
