     4.Vivians Richard

           Swagger.That is the word used extensively to describe the batting style of Sir Vivian Richards. Aggressive batting was not a very common sight in the 1970s and 80s, but the term aggression is an understatement when it comes to describing Viv’s batting.

          7.Muthiah Muralitharan

           By almost universal consensus, Muttiah Muralitharan is one of the nicest blokes to play cricket.And yet, he has been at the centre of numerous controversies, none of them of his own making.Viewed purely through numbers, Muralitharan is a giant performer and is in the unique position of holding the records for most wickets in One Day Internationals as well as Test matches. In fact, what Murali has done in bowling is akin to what Tendulkar has done in batting.

      9.Shane Warne

         Skill. Spin. Drama. Shane Warne was arguably cricket's biggest showman. In him pomp, the leg-spinner was often unplayable. His ball of the century - a giant leg-break - which drifted away to leg and then ripped back to crash clunk into Mike Gatting's off-bail is part of the cricketing folklore. Richie Benaud, who was doing the television commentary, said: 'Gatting has absolutely no idea what has happened to him and he still doesn't know.'

10.Wasim Akram           Wasim Akram was one of those rare talents, who never played first-class cricket, before making his international debut. In fact, he could not even get into the college team. Born in a Punjabi Arain family in Lahore, Wasim Akram's magical moment came when he participated in the trials conducted at the Gaddafi Stadium. Interestingly, he was a mere spectator for the first two days and finally, got a chance to roll his arms over on the third day.
