No Thorpe, who is Englands best batsman and has been for ten years.?
Ntini does't play for pakistan does he?
Ricky Ponting is in no stretch of the imagination the leading cricketer in the world today.!!!
Almost he whole Australian squad is in this list, I think it's an April fool.

Does Micheal kasprowicz or Damien Martyn really deserve place in that? to my surprise they have also included Stuart Macgill in that list. Dont you think Taibu deserve place in that? Is he so bad? I think Wisden belong to Australia!

Iam sure that they have selected these cricketers from only couple of performances. Dont you think Taibu deserve place in that? Is he so bad? I think Wisden belong to Australia!

Well, they got the leading cricketer in the world part spot on.

Kasprowich and MacGill were lucky to be in there. Bichel and Martyn are very good, but perhaps were a little lucky too. Only one West Indian in there, too!
