Cricinfo's Alltime Top 25 T20 Players

[cricketnut14]

They have counted down from 25 to 2 - I'm going to assume Rashid is number 1.

interesting to note 5 of the top 10 are West Indies players or even 6 of the top 16.




Seems about right as it's always tough compiling 'best of' lists.

Was anyone overlooked perhaps ?

Don’t really see how Gayle could be left out of the top 2. Of course I say it as a West Indian fan but he pioneered the sport really, he set records as a batsman that might stand for decades in terms of centuries, as I said in another post he’s 13(?) centuries clear of the next most prolific century maker, 1000 runs clear of the next highest run scorer and he’s done that in less games and with a better strike rate than most and his record took a dive by hanging around a bit longer than he should have, plus he took nearly 100 wickets and won two world cups. Russell definitely shouldn’t have been above him nor ABDV. Narine and Rashid I can see arguments for, especially Narine as he has turned himself into more or less a genuine all rounder. It’s not rashid’s fault he has no international trinkets to add really so I do account for that but nonetheless it should be weighed in. I think they got the top 5-6 right just not in that order
