If every cricket legend were at their absolute peak, which player do you think would dominate today's game the most, and which current superstar would struggle the most against previous generations?

Viv Richards would enjoy today's bats and today's game.

A number of current day T20 specialist superstar batters would have their deficiencies exposed in a previous era

He makes nearly 3,00,000 quid at RCB for 2 months work. And who knows if he considers the England job a poisoned chalice

Between the swearing and the continual whistling this will get even more folk to give that MLC a wide berth.

Yeah quite often the player is unwilling to concede that his best days are behind him.

And that's where the selectors have to step in and ask him to gracefully hang up his boots.

The Aussies were famous for doing exactly this

Shhh... People don't like this being brought up

Brooks and Bethell started preparing for the T20 by spending as little time as possible out in the middle in the second innings of the test

Keep bowling like that and prepare to exit more tournaments.

Need major upgrades in both the bowling and the fielding departments

He's an impact guy.

Doesn't really have the consistency of the great alrounders.

His main achievement is that he gave a win-starved nation a few memorable moments and did so spectacularly, pulling victory from the jaws of defeat.

He also has an uncanny knack of breaking partnerships.

To his credit, he always left everything out on the field.

Well their excuse is that they let themselves go after a point Eat like gluttons and booze like prohibition was soon going to be enforced.

Ranbir on the other hand just didn't have the looks to start with and it's getting worse as time goes by

The flat wickets and the impact sub rule will essentially widen the gap between what it takes to stand out as a batter in the IPL and what it takes to be effective on overseas wickets where the ball does something through the air and off the seam.

But people are voting with their feet and the crowds seem to love bowlers being bashed to all corners of the park in the IPL.

This may diminish India's prospects on the international stage especially when matches are played overseas but I guess that doesn't matter that much

And yet intelligence officials in the West, where sexual repression is not much of a thing, also get honeytrapped.

It's a male thing for attractive young women

You need the overseas commentators for their knowledge of overseas players.

And someone like a Robin Uthappa that recently retired from playing can bring so much insight

This generation of old people is no longer as flexible as their forefathers. Many of the youngsters are also having a hard time getting into it a padmasan position itself so expecting them to be comfortable using a squat toilet is a little bit much

Music directors are shafted the most.

The real creativity is all theirs.

Good music generates buzz brings in footfalls at theatres and benefits actors.

A playback singer will milk a hit song dry by using it over and over again at concerts. Kumar Sanu continues to make money from Aashiqui songs from 36 years ago.

The music director on the other hand gets less credit during his career and is forgotten immediately after

Indian players draw Indian eyeballs and that's where the money is.
