To see an opening pair of Desmond Haynes & Gordon Greenidge was enough to make any opposing side gulp with fear, then if you get lucky and get one of them out, Viv Richards makes his way to the wicket, only to be followed by Clive Lloyd.....dear oh dear, how I would love to see the likes of those players again.

I agree and if their batting line up wasn't enough you had bowlers like Marshall and Holding trying to take your head off, quite fearsome

Warne is the greatest bowler ever and has been a pleasure to watch the infamous "Gatting" ball as one example but greatest cricketer it's Sobers every time for me

Not only could he bat and bowl with the best of them, he was also a great fielder, a true all rounder in every sense
, although if I had to choose a favourite I think I'd go with Richard Hadlee and that's not to say I think he is better, it's just that I saw more of him
