don't you people in India get tired of this gentle non athletic sport? Come on people focus on basketball, swimming, tennis, and other sports? Cricket players are not atheletes. Comments welcome!!
with 20 million population, Sri Lanka has produced good match winning bowlers like Muraidharan, Malinga and Vass. But India has no one with 1.2 Billion population. We give importance only for Batsmen.

we do not need any match winning bowlers, thank you. our bowlers are winning matches after matches for us and made us no. 1 in test ranking for so long. that should be enough. i do not see any need for match winning bowlers as long as our bowlers win matches for us.

Good for congress because only illitrate vote for congress. Congress likes to keep illetracy high and promotes divide and rule through reservations
jst coz these guys are doing both batting n bowling that doesnt mean they top the list.......malinga for instance ahs zero batting points so u cannot jst rank him down the order....as therwise the other MI batsmen havent got a chance to bat(thanks to srt n rayudu form) so how can they appear in this list...useless timepass peolpe have nothing else...give comethng better n think before u publish such thngs

I think u are just a Yousuf pathan hater. See the matches he played so far in IPL. He has performed with both bat and ball.

Then dhoni will never play in IPL. In IPL-3 he failed in 11 out of 12 matches with bat. Also dropped many cathes

you should also be then paid for every second you work in a day and all those seconds you dont work or watch TV your pay should be cut accordingly.
You have not considered state of the match when a batsman comes and scores say '20' critical runs. If you consider, Lasith Malinga, I think he took 2 quick wickets in the first / by second over in a couple of matches which changed the course of the game.
Additionally, you do not consider captaincy - strategies involved and decisions taken by a captain. You should add points for these too (I am sure you can quantify this in some way like you have done for bowling converted to fielding).

Malnga does not bowl, he throws. He is following the other chucker Murlitharan. We have great chuckers from lanka, greatly appreciated by our idiotic indians
