Ashraful (dare i say the name)?

Your thoughts? anyone i missed or wrong order? barry richards and mike procter i question marked due to not playing many tests, as much as i believe they were the best the fact is if we are judging the greatest TEST cricketers then part of the criteria is what the player actually achieved in test cricket compared to the others playing for the same country (to me this different to picking say an ATG test team where for me that's more about who i think will win me the match and that's not necessarily the ones who got to prove themselves in the most matches though in most cases it is).

the other question marks are about whether those players did enough to make their top 5 or whether others did more and deserve to be there ahead of them.
