Nope, Jacques Kallis is greatest cricketer. Viv Richards is greatest batsman but he can't bowl like Kallis

@@ultralegendarybeast101 Gavaskar is also batsman only. He's not a good bowler or fielder. See the stats. There's no other cricketer who can match at per with Jacques Kallis in batting, bowling & fielding.

No one now and then compared to him. He is the only one king of cricket for ever. He played the T20 shots when the bowler dominates the play and the fielders placed according to bowlerwhat others played just like himtoday rules which favour to batsmen and 6 overs field limits.

[@fosdyke71]

"Smashing Windies to victory" is a bit of an overstatement. The rain handed the game to them on a plate. No DRS back then. A touch chase was made simple.

[@storm4743]

Don't agree with your statement there Viv Richards was on fire that night he would have scored 150 + of his own. it was just a pity the rain came because we did not see Viv at his Best and boy oh boy Viv at his best is very dollar worth spend watching him bat just ask Allan Border he will tell you how good Viv Richards was.

[@fosdyke71]

@@storm4743 I'm not saying Richards wasn't good but the rain turned what was a dominant position for the Aussies (the Windies were 2-4 chasing a big total) into a cakewalk.

Do you know who's infamous for Ball Tampering, any guesses? Stats are correct and they are talented and great pool bowlers however most of the pakistani bowlers did generate reverse swing with the help of ball tampering.
