In today's match I don't think no bowler will take more than 4 wickets.\nI think the man of the match will go to a batsman and it will be Yuvraj.

Sir Don Bradman\nIn cricket the most important thing is consistency.\nHis average shows how consistent he was.\n\nIn todays cricket its Sachin.\nNeedless to say anything about sachin his statistics will tell more than any words.

Jeff Thomson (1950- ) of Australia could easily be voted as the most dreadful and fiery bowler of all time. He was the fastest at his peak (around 1974-75), and is believed to have bowled some 99+ (miles/hour) deliveries too. With Dennis Lillee he formed one of the best and most fearsome bowling pair of all time. \nI am not too sure but he was perhaps the one who had once said that he loved to see blood of the batsman on the pitch!

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!!!

there were quite a few bowlers who were captains in the past like Kapil Dev, Imran Khan, Courtney walsh. However crickets has been a batsmen's game as the bowler get limited overs

I reckon the batsmen.\n\nSimply because bowlers seem to be more specialised wheras batsmen are often great all-rounders too.\n\nnice question..........

Do you mean total sixes in test career or in one innings? I will give both the answers.\n\nMost Sixes In Test Career: Adam Gilchrist is currently leading with 93 sixes. He surpassed Christ Cairns' record of 87 sixes. Cairns broke Sir Viv Richards' record of 84 sixes. Flintoff is closing in with 72 sixes.\n\nMost Sixes In a Test Match Innings: 12 sixes jointly held by Wasim Akran (257*) & Nathan Astle (222). \n\nNathan Astle's inning of 222 is also a fastest double century in test cricket off 153 balls. He smashed 28 fours and 12 sixes.
