By way of flair & fireworks : Brian Lara\nas for having the best technique and consistency: Sachin Tendulkar     And this is something that counts!!\n\nI know many will disagree with me on the sachin point but look at that man's career records & the immense pressure from 1 billion cricket crazy country men, the way he carries himself on the field; his dignity.\n    One would say that dignity has nothing to do with performance but Tendulkar, had the world at his feet for 15 long years & now his body is showing the signs  wear & tear due to 15 years of non stop cricket. He has maintained his dignity in a country that makes it's heroes only to topple them. And in this world Tendulkar has stood tall- Be it with his dignity or his 35 test centuries or 40 something ODI centuries or his 25k international runs or ANYTHING.\n                   He is by far the best batsman in world cricket now. If there's any need for proof of his greatness - recall India vs Pakistan at the World Cup'03!!!!!!

Sir Donald Bradman is certainly the best batsman of all time. His Test batting average of 99.94 is probably the only cricket landmark that will stand the test of time. However, he isn't the best 'cricketer' of all time. That honour belongs to the left-handed Sir Garfield St. Auburn Sobers of the West Indies, who was four cricketers in one; a magnificent batsman, extraordinary fielder, paceman and, believe it or not, a spinner who could bowl both finger (left-arm orthodox) and wrist (chinaman) spin. He was the first cricketer to complete the Test 'treble' of 1000+ runs, 100+ wickets and 100+ catches.

Brian Lara (West Indies) who has scored a total of 11904 runs in 130 test matches at an average of 53.14.\n\nSee the attached link for the top batsmen.\n\n*********************************************************************\n\nThank you so much to whoever gave me a negative vote. Could you let me know what's wrong with my answer please? The answer is correct and has a reliable source - honestly you just can't please some people.

It depends on what do you mean by (or, want from) a 'cricketer': A batsman, a bawler or an allrounder! It also depends on whether you consider tests better than ODIs or vice-verse.\n\nAccording to the latest LG-ICC ranking,\nThe best batsman is: \n Tests: R Ponting (AUS)\n ODIs: MS Dhoni (IND)\nThe best bawler is: \n Tests: Muttiah Muralitharan (SL)\n ODIs: S Pollock (SA)\nThe best allrounder is: \n Tests: J Kallis (SA)\n ODIs: S Pollock (SA)\n\nSo, decide yourself now who is the best!!!

Abdul Razaq is by far the best all rounder in the whole of Asia.By no means a great all rounder but he excels in all three departments & almost always contributes something.A very useful & reliable cricketer.

IT IS 99.94 VOW ! GREAT\n\n\nSir Donald George Bradman was unquestionably the greatest batsman of all time. This veritable run machine hada tally of 29 centuries from only 52 Tests, which even in this era of non-stop cricket remains the second-highest number of Test hundreds scored by any player. His highest test score was 334 against England at Leeds in 1930, of which he made 309 in a single day.\n\nHe concluded his Test career in 1948, only four runs short of the 7000 run-mark and a Test batting average of 100 (his final average was 99.94). He was knighted in 1949 and even after his demise in 2001; he remains cricket's best-known and most revered personality.

their is only one undisputed best fielder till now in the histroy of cricket. and it is jonty rodhes of southafrica. but one thing what i ponder about is can the best  fielder be the best fielding coach? and then i when think about mr. rodhes(the rubber man) there is no doubt in my mind that the answer is 'yes'.

Tendulkar is the past now. Lara is much better. Over and above Ricky Ponting is the best right now. A score of 196 and 50+ in the same match, awsome.

My first choice is Sunil Gavaskar.\ncricket is a game of patience and strategy when it is played between to test playing nations. \nGavaskar's commentary is very much technical and contains lot of information about how the player is thinking, how the ball behaved, how the batsman could make a shot. His commentary is real treat for lot of budding cricketers.\nThe second one Michael Holding\nHe has a great electronic voice and can build the pressure on the listeners even if is neutral.
