	Decent quiz (should accept Muralitharan), although obvious that these ratings are a complete waste of time. No Grace? No Graeme Pollock? No Laker? No Warne? Marshall below Ambrose and Botham? Ridiculous.

	i would have to agree that lots of these rating don't give even the slightest picture of reality but it is hard to find stats that will support the common views of great players, i.e. Warne. One option is total runs and total wickets although the complete change of gameplay over the years, means modern players have a huge advantage and Bradman, (surely in the top 10 ever?!) does not even make the list. I will make Muralitharan ligitimate.

	It would be a good idea to include first names I think. If only to distinguish between Peter and Shaun Pollock.

	I think this is fine, anyone who knows how the ICC test rankings work know that what is rewarded is consistently high performance over a short/medium period of time, not fairly strong but mixed performances over a longer period. The answers can be a surprise, but provided you bear in mind that this is how the rankings work, pulling up names like Sangakkara, Hayden and Kallis, who have all had 'glory periods' of 2 or 3 years where they were untouchable, becomes not so hard.

	when i saw that Tendulkar was not among the top 11 batsmen of all time according to this rating, i simply gave up.

	i wouldnt put half of these players in the top 10 if i'm honest, good idea for a quiz though!
