Cricket is a very popular game to nearly 2 billion people in the world. Cricket has now turned into a billion dollar sports industry. This beautiful game has produced some great cricketers over the years. It was a very difficult task to choose among hundreds of players and among them the most capable and from those the most talented and from those the most entertaining.And thus below we have compiled the list of such greats who grace the cricket at present.
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. 
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. 
Best All-Rounders
When it comes to cricket, all rounders play a vital role behind the success of a team. An all-rounder is a cricket player who excels at both batting and bowling. Although all bowlers must bat, and most batsmen end up bowling occasionally, most players are skilled in only one of the two disciplines. Wicket-keepers who are also very good batsmen are considered by some to be all-rounders. 

 
Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains.

The laws of cricket are a set of rules framed by the Marylebone Cricket Club, which outline all aspects of how the game is played from how a team wins a game, how a batsman is dismissed, through to specifications on how the pitch is to be prepared and maintained. Although the MCC is a private club based in London and no longer the game’s governing body, the MCC retains copyright in the laws and only the MCC may change the laws, although nowadays this would usually only be done after discussions with the game’s global governing body the International Cricket Council. 

The Laws are intended to apply to all two innings matches; the International Cricket Council has implemented “Standard Playing Conditions for Test Matches” and “Standard Playing Conditions for One Day Internationals” to augment the Laws of Cricket. Similarly, each cricketing country has implemented Playing Conditions to govern domestic cricket. Note that the Laws do not provide for One Day or Limited Overs cricket; these modifications have been made by the Playing Conditions for One Day Internationals. Teams may agree to alter some of the rules for particular games. Other rules supplement the main laws and change them to deal with different circumstances. In particular, there are a number of modifications to the playing structure and fielding position rules that apply to one innings games that are restricted to a set number of fair deliveries.

The Cricket World Cup was first held in 1975 in England because it was the only nation at the time that had the resources to stage an event of such magnitude. The matches played consisted of 60 overs per team and were played in traditional white uniform and red balls. They were all played during the day and hence started early. Eight teams participated in the first tournament: Australia, England, the West Indies, Pakistan, India, and New Zealand (the six Test nations at the time), with Sri Lanka and a composite team from East Africa.West Indies won the first Cricket World Cup when they defeated Australia by 17 runs in the final. The International Cricket Council (ICC) organizes the Cricket World Cup every four years. The series, which sees participation from all the test playing, and some non-test playing cricketing nations, is a limited overs tournament.Here we have reinvented the spirit of the Cricket World Cup 2007.
