D.G. Bradman, the greatest batsman that ever strode the cricket field, universally heralded as the greatest sporting personality that has ever been.
I.V.A.Richards, the greatest batsman of all time in the estimation of Ian Botham, certainly one of the most devastating. His destructive batting was scarring for the opposition bowlers. His range of stroke-play, exquisite timing and sheer power made him the most feared batsman of his era.
Garfield Sobers, the greatest all-rounder the game has seen and certainly one of the greatest batsmen that has trodden the cricket green. His first Test century was the world-record score then of 365 not out.
Graeme Pollock holds the second-highest Test batting average of 60.97 and, perhaps, rightly so, for many would consider this Springbok southpaw batting genius to be the greatest batsman after Bradman. Had his career not been cut short by apartheid when he was in his prime, who knows what might have been the final fruition of this bating maestro? The cricketing world was rendered poorer for the banishment of these South African legends from the game.
S.R. Tendulkar, batsmanship at its best. His range of stroke-play and perfection of the science of batting has been unprecedented.
