Best Bowlers
Bowling is a technique by which a person (bowler) runs up to the wickets and throws the ball to the batsman, with a full arm, trying to hit the wicket to get the batsman out. There are many types of bowlers, from fast to slow, spin to swing. Spinners are slow bowlers who manage to get the ball to change direction when hitting the ground. Swingers are those bowlers who manage to get the ball to move away or towards a batsman. Good bowlers can be terribly confusing because of the way they have perfected their bowling.
It was very difficult to formulate a list of best five bowlers because so many bowlers seem very good. This list is not absolute, and we might well have left out some genuinely deserving world bowlers by oversight.
Best Batsmen
Batting is one of the most exiciting part of cricket for cricket fans. A good batsman is one who can protect his wicket and at the same time score runs. The bigger the shot-selection, the better the batsman. We have made a list of the five of the greatest batsmen in the world. Well, it is a very tough thing to do. In todays cricketing world there are numerous batsman competing for the much acclaimed numero uno spot.
We have rated these batsman on basis of current performance in one day and there ability to adapt under different condition and lead their team victory. Victory no a great criteria but if a good performance comes it should lead a side to victory. Each of them have batted at different positions and have performed admirably.

ICC World Cup Cricket Rating
The LG ICC cricket ratings are a widely followed system of rankings for international cricketers based on their recent performances. Until 19 January 2005 they were known as the
PwC cricket ratings, when LG Electronics took over the sponsorship of the ratings system. The International Cricket Council has joined forces with LG to produce and promote the LG ICC Test Championship, the LG ICC One-Day International Championship and the LG ICC
Player Rankings. The ICC Player Rankings are the official player rankings for international cricket.
The ratings were developed at the suggestion of Ted Dexter in 1987. The intention was to produce a better indication of players’ current standing in the sport than is provided by comparing their averages. Career averages are based on a player’s entire career and do not make any allowance for match conditions or the strength of the opposition, whereas the ratings are based towards recent form and account for match conditions and the quality of the opponent using statistical measures. Initially the rankings were for Test cricket only, but separate one day international rankings were introduced in 1998.
