Some of the best assets of the batsmen.

Most Talented-----Brian Lara; Most Technically correct----Lawrence Rowe; Best in a crisis----George Headley; Best player of Fast Bowling----Viv richards; Best Player of Spin---Brian Lara; Best combo/player-----Viv Richards; Most distructive---Viv Richards; Most Imaginative--Rohan Kanhai.

Ranking

1. Viv Richards______No better player of fast bowling ever.

2. Brian Lara________Exceptional against Spin.

3. Lawrence Rowe___Most correct and gifted(injuries robbed him of his greatness)

4.Gary Sobers______Greatest all round cricketer of all times.

5.George Headley____Mr dependable. Would be rated higher if he had played more.

6.Frank Worrell_____Most ellegant west Indian Batsman.

7.Rohan Kanhai____The Most Imaginative batsman of all times.

8.Clyde Walcott____Once scored three double centuries in a series.

9.Gordon Greenidge___The best West indian Opener.

10.Alvin Kallicharran___The little left handed warrior.

It was a close call for many of the batsmen left out and this debate could go on for eternity.I think this is the best 10 west indian batsmen of all times.
