This is very useful to Tamil lovers who were away from their land and were in the mood that they have missed their culture.
For such people this will be a great help .

Top Allrounders

Here is my list of Top 10 all rounders in Cricket History                                           
As Usually I waana start with No.10


10)There are two guys competing for this place.They are Sanath Jayasurya and Andrew Flintoff
Andrew Flintoff : He is the hero for The England Team in the 2000s. He played a key role with his ball and also the ball and helped England win the Ashes for the first after two decades.  His height while Bowling and Strength in batting are his main points.

Bowling average32.7824.3831.59

Sanath Jayasuriya : This Lankan Tiger is the Hardest Hitter in his team and one of the Hardest Hitter in the World.  Some times he even can excell with the ball. Though he didn't maintained the standards of a great bowler in Tests, his bowling talent is seen in ODIs and T20s and the same can be seen in his stats below.

Bowling average34.3436.7533.12
My personal feeling is that Flintoff satisfies this position better than Sanath.
 

Top Defensive Batsmen

 

Usually i will write any Tops list with the No.1 at the end. But I can't do that here because every one knows that the No.1 spot goes to the Great Wall Rahul Dravid.
So just going with the no.1 first.

1)Rahul Dravid :
This is what all of you ( the readers) would expect in this list. Rahl Dravid with his nick name The Wall stands like a huge wall to the opponent team and his defensive skills saved India to draw or even win the matches that had no hopes. I think this is the perfect start to this list.I think that he is the best Text Book batsmen ever. His shots are so beautiful to watch and his back cuts are really amazing . He is the player that moulds to the situation perfectly.He is also one of the Best Batsmen in the World

2)Shivnarine Chanderpaul :
His is a highly talented one and he got a great concentration. He sees the ball so keenly until the ball touches the bat. He plays very strongly and firmly in Fast bowling and much more carefully and keenly when coming to spin. He has some great balance too.

3)Michael Hussey :
He is also a player that can change his batting style according to the situation. He is the Best Competitor to Rahul Dravid in this category. Though he is one of the best defensive batsmen , he holds the record to be the fastest player in terms of time to have reached the 1000 test runs. Unlucky to the australian team he made his debut so late in a late age.
He is also one of the Best Finisher in the Cricketing World

4)Mahela Jayawardene :
Not only his batting even his captaincy is also very defensive. I think YOU will agree him in this place. His defensive play adding to his patience gave Lanka many memories. Not only Lanka even the recent Delhi Daredevils team got rescued many times in the IPL because of this man's standing power.

5)Jacques Kallis :
He is the best allrounder in the World now. His batting is really good, not much from the Text book like Dravid. On his day he can play some great long innings and on the other side he also can hit some big shots. He holds the record to score a half century in the fastest time with just 24 balls. He even had a big role in his team winning the IPL 5.He is the best allrounder in the World

6)Mohammad Yousuf :
This man can stand in the pitch for a long time. This ability is seen in his record to be the one to score the most runs without being dismissed in One Day International match. He scored 24 test centuries and 33 ODI centuries in his career.
