Saw a video comparing basketball players when the individual fans are in their 20’s see those players as the greatest ever!!!

I find this true as I believe Lara and Shiv are the best ever and in terms of cricket the peak was the 90’s and early 2000’s!!!

The current 20 year olds unfortunately ain’t got no WI to look up too 🫠

What are your thoughts???

@WIfan26

I respectfully have to disagree. Many of the cricketers who became stars in the 2000s struggled in the 90s. A good example is Matthew no technique, head-on-shoulder Hayden. Many people don’t know or forget that Hayden’s debut as a test player was in 1994, in South Africa, and Allan Donald put him out of commission with a broken knuckle for the entire series, and he only came back two years later, and still struggled against Ambrose and Walsh, and only became a regular after those guys had either retired, like Ambrose in 2000, or were going down clearly like Allan Donald. Even his own skipper, Allan Border was unsure of how he’d survive with that technique

many of the so called prodigies from the early 2000s flashed for a second but then were taken down by players who established themselves in the 90s. Imran Nazir’s struggles against Glenn McGrath or Parthiv Patel’s career are great examples of this

@Jumpstart

Fair enough so in that case we’re roughly around the same age what era of cricket would you deem as the GOAT?
