Hi ! according to me, list of Great Selfish Cricketers are as follows.
Former players ============== 1. Mr. Sunil Gavaskar (India) 2. Mr. Imran Khan (Pakistan) 3. Mr. Alan Border (Australia) 4. Mr. Jeoff Boycott (England) 5. Mr. Richard Hadlee (New Zealand) 6. Mr. Alister Campbell (Zimbabwe) 7. Mr. Richie Richardson (West Indies) 8. Mr. Roy Dias (Srilanka) 9. Mr. Kepler Vessles (South Africa)
Current players =============== 1. Mr. Sachin Tendulkar (India) 2. Mr. Shoaib Akhtar (Pakistan) 3. Mr. Mathew Hayden (Australia) 4. Mr. Michael Waughn (England) 5. Mr. Chris Cairns (New Zealand) 6. Mr. Stuart Carlisle (Zimbabwe) 7. Mr. Carl Hooper (West Indies) 8. Mr. Sanath Jaysurya (Srilanka) 9. Mr. Grame Smith (South Africa)
There is no meaning of innings now a days playing by some of current players like Sachin, Gilchrist, Inzamam, Cairns, Gayle, Trescothik, Jaysurya, Flower, Gibs etc. if they can not win the matches for their teams. I belive that these are GREAT PLAYER but not at all GREAT FIGHTER.
According to me, list of GREAT FIGHTER are as follows.
1. Kapil Dev (India) 2. Steve Waugh (Australia) 3. Javed Miyadad (Pakistan) 4. Martin Crowe (New Zealand) 5. Brian Lara (West Indies) 6. Alan Lamb (England) 7. Arvinda De' Silva (Srilanka) 8. Dave Houghton (Zimbabwe) 9. Late Hansie Cronje(South Africa)
It means that only one current player should be consider as a GREAT FIGHTER i.e. Brian Lara.
Do all of you are agree with me???? Please let me know your comments on this.
