It’s kinda ironic that you included Weekes and Worrell in your list but not Clyde Walcott who is a much superior batsman than Worrell. Walcott’s batting average was as impressive as Weekes and Gary Sobers and a phenomenal player and if I had to pick two out of the three W’s, I would pick Weekes and Walcott. Worrell was great as a captain and a good batsman but he was the lesser of the 3 W’s. Glad you picked Clive Lloyd and as much as he was a great captain, he was a phenomenal batsman and most of his knocks came when the entire WI top order was wiped out. Lloyd was a phenomenal “ Boy on the burning deck” type batsman who led his team by example when the chips were down. As much as Lara and Gary Sobers were great batsmen, they get pushed for the top spot because of the era they played in and they couldn’t translate their performances to wins as much as Richards did because of the team he played in. But going back to my original contention, I would pick Walcott any day over Worrell for batting. Worrell was a great captain and statesman for WI cricket in a crucial era but he would be the lesser of the 3 Ws. I also wonder what would have become of Alvin Kallicharan, a great batsman had he finished his career instead of going on the Rebel tour and getting banned for life. And Lawrence Rowe who had other medical issues in addition to getting on the Rebel tour to SA.
@@godfreyarthur9544Unfortunately, Lara couldn’t translate his superlative batting into wins like Viv did because of the teams and era they played in. And Lara played in an era where protective gear and especially helmets were common place unlike Viv who took on Lillee, Thomson and Pascoe and Imran Khan without a helmet because they were unavailable. Viv’s knocks translated to wins and that’s why he is #1. No disrespect to Lara but Viv was a better and bolder batsman who treated fast bowlers like children and was never afraid of any of them. They were afraid of him and there was an unwritten code when he played never to sledge him and provoke him.
In many circles Bradman was called " the white Headley" which speaks for itself. Headley played in very weak West Indies teams so chances of scoring more runs or high scores were limited, pitches were uncovered, he was immortal or double immortal at Lords and if memory serves me correctly had the highest average among the top 10 batsmen mentioned. As far as I am concerned the top 2 WI batsmen of all times rests between Sir. Garfield Sobers and George Headley. Greg Chappell rates Sobers as the best of all times and Bradman endorsed same after seeing Sobers innings of 250 captaining the Rest of the World against Australia which team included Dennis Lillie who congratulated Sobers after the innings saying that he heard about him but very happy to have seen him.

They were great batsmen during the time that they played for the wi team, but I would never including them in the all time greatest batsmen of all times. Because they have not played long enough and, they have not making enough runs or centuries to be classified as the all times greatest batsmen of all times. My all times greatest batsmen for the wi team, based on centuries and runs over the years. Leading scorers in runs and centuries Lara , chanderpaul,, Gayle, Desmond Haynes, Viv Richards, Greenidge, Sarwan, Richie Richardson, Lloyd, Sobers. In the Bowling Walsh, Ambrose, Marshall, Roach, Garner, Holding, Sobers, Andy Roberts, Fidel Edwards, Patrick Patterson.

Stats is one thing, but legacy and impact is another. Anyone can pad stats, but true value lies in thr legacy that was left. You have to weigh the runs scored and in what situations. In my opinion a 100 that wins a game for the team as oppose to a 300 ending in a tie. You tell me which one is worth more.
Brian Lara is by a long way the #1 batter. He played in an era dominated by great spin bowlers that would mesmerize RICHARDS and others. Lara #1 always. Richards #2
@@vantywilliams4507 thanks for sharing your thoughts. Lara and Sir Viv are both interchangeable at the top spot. Both achieved so much in their careers.
Sir something wrong with your head I'm trying my best to be respectful this list is garbage talking about playing under pressure for all them years breaking the record TWICE and this is your list😮 SAD .... anyway my TOP 10 OF All TIME BRIAN LARA 1 TO 10 and EVERYONE AFTER.
Sir Vivian Richards was unique and dominant on the field he could demolish the opposition bowling with ease. Just keep in mind Brian Lara was someone who sets records and dominated with top scores of 277 vs Australia and his 400 vs English stands out as a remarkable record.
Brian Lara is #1 for ne and for the following reasons, the era in witch he played, the team he played in and the constant pressure he was always under to perform. He shouldered the west indies batting, most times all by himself and produced some of the best innings ever played. Now Sir Viv was absolutely great, however for most of his career, he played in the great west indies all conquering teams of the late 70's and the 80s, hence he played under less pressure safe in the knowledge that he's surrounded by great players especially in the fast bowling department and whatever score the team managed it was for most times too much for the opposition. Brian Lara had no such luxury and this for me make him the greatest
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Your reasoning is sound, but Lara also faced weaker bowling opponents as a whole. Imagine facing Dennis Lilee and Jeff Thompson with out a helmet..lol
@@thereversescoopUSAMcGrath..warne...nel..Murali...styne....ntini ..Donald... McDermott....kumble .. to name a few. Weren't they great bowlers Lara faced
Rowe was a tough miss. But not to worry, we are dropping our next rankings later this week. You will find Lawrence Rowe in there. Be on the lookout for that episode drop.
Why is George Headley, the black Bradman, not the #1 considering his burden and conversion rate among his other highlights. He had no support and as such had to face the full brunt of the opposing attack throughout his career.
Great points. He sure was one of West Indies' greatest. His impact was immense. Maybe we should have added him on top 5 but #1 ahead or Sir Viv and Lara would be tough. Perhaps be 3 or 4?
The overwhelming factor in all this is how was the team doing on the world stage at the time these players were active highs and lows if a guy were predominantly successful during the period of when the team was in dire straights yes automatically ahead of the guy who had a more easier time to produce
I'm on the opposite spectrum here. Sure, the team in the 80s was better team, but the impact the runs made led to that dominance, Lara though carried a team in a difficult time, but his runs in my opinion weren't as impactful as Sir Vivian's. That's why for me he is ahead of Lara. But I get your pov. Thanks for your feedback. Let us know your thoughts on our other West Indies rankings.
Yu mad Lara is #1 , 2 time test record holder. I think Chris Gayle could find his way in. Remember you are looking at all three versions of the game. Chris is way ahead in T20 . Averages not worst off. And since you mentioned Sobers all round ability Gayle is not too bad in that department. How many other WI batsmen have scored triple centry.
Garfield Sobers should be at #1. Many people do not consider the Baron because they are too young to have seen him. When Sobers played wickets were not covered. The game was different. Opposition bowlers were better than Lara time and in Sobers time they were no helmets arm guards etc. Gary Sobers the best for my money
I do agree to a certain extent, Sobers was definitely one of the greats and could land anywhere in the top 3. Just a matter of perspective and criteria used.
What does this little boy know,his analysis is based on what he read,he wasn't even alive when those people were playing.He is very annoying.They pushes up themselves and knows nothing.
@thereversescoopUSA no need to respond. I'm almost sure that at least 3 of the players listed, he has never seen them in action, hence his point is baseless.
That naive guy has put a Brian Lara picture on the thumbnail to get more views and deliberately placed Viv in the number one spot to provoke arguments in the comment box.😂😂😂
The list shows lack of knowledge of our cricket history. Clyde Walcott was arguably the best batsman of the 3 ws . Must be included in the top 10. George Headley must be top 5.
Thank you for your feedback. Clyde Walcott sure was a tough miss for me, he is number 12 for me. Though he tops our wicket keeper batsman list for the West Indies. George Headley arguably could have been top 5 here, but the lack of test cricket hindered me, placing him higher.
Agree with your list except that Greenidge is ranked a little too low. I think he deserves to be at 6 or 7. However, Viv is the best. Maybe All Time across World cricket.
You are out of your mind. Did Brian lara had any help in batting save and except shiv to an extend. Has Biv batted unde pressure? HE HAD SOME VERY TALENTED BATTRS AROUND HIM. WHO DID LARA had around him. HIMSELF. Lara batted at both Ends. Viv couldn't even play quality spin bowling like lara did .Viv also had thebest of fast bowlers around. Who did lara have?

George Headley is difficult to be omitted
Nice list. Great top 10
That's a tough miss. George Headley would make most West Indies fans top 10.
What happened to Charlie Griffith Wes Hall, etc.
You'll find Wes Hall on our All Time West Indies Fast Bowler rankings rankings
What About Laurence Rowe? He should definitely be included in this List.
Who would you replace him with?
Brian Charles Lara is the best ever
Definitely could have landed at 1 but someone had to be at 2..lol
Jeffrey Dujon

Wasn't Dr Alexander a wk?
Jeffrey Dujon is the #1
Jeff Dujon is the correct answer 👏 👌

Lol, thanks for your feedback. Doesn't everyone have a right to their opinion? Like you who think Lara is #1, I'm of the opinion that Sir Viv is #1. Just have to respect the opinion, like I do yours.
