End of the day, it all boils down to definition. Zaheer Khan is a good player. But is he a great player? I hope quality for cricket hasn't gone down that much.

I guess you got me wrong ! What I mean is Zaheer is a good player at best .He might match a great like Wasim in a spell or two (or a season ) but he can never be classified as a great !
The same goes with players like Anwar ,Inzi ,Jaya and Gibbs. They were simply great in certain seasons but they could never match greats like Pointing ,Lara ,Sachin and of course Viv.Who is better among these is very subjective and depends on how you look at it .The fact that we are discussion who is better among the 'greats' shows that there is no clear winner .
P.S - Among the current lot I only see Shewag challenging the 'greats' and that too only in Tests.But again for me a Great player has to be good at all formats they play most .Dravid could have been considered a 'great' but for his pathetic ODI record.
