You might say that more tests are played these days so obviously its easier to score more runs. BUT Vivian Richards achieved the feat in 19 innings, and so far Mohammad Yousuf has played 17 innings. He has only 2 more innings left to have a go at Richard's record. Along with that, Yousuf has already equalled Viv Richard's and Arvinda De Silva's record of most Test centuries in one year (7). So if he scores one more century in the last test, he will also break that record. Keep up the great work Yousuf![/

Two fine players with completely contrasting styles. Yousef ,effortless boundary hitting , rarely clearing the ropes. Predominentlyan offside player , favouring hitting through thirdman to extracover.
    Then there's Ponting. The finest scorer throughmidwicket in world cricket , his pulling is magnificent and he doesn'tcare how quickly it's delivered. A fine hooker too (although hispulling is better) his alround aggressive nature contrasts markedlywith the languid Yousef.  Ponting also is a terrific player in the"V" - his straight driving is immaculate. No inhibitions with this maneither - 6 hitting comes so naturally and it happens as often in testsas it does in one dayers.

        Two marvellous batsmen withtotally different approaches. The end result is centuries galore fromboth men ,at a quick rate too.
     That's the real beauty of cricket - there's more than one way to skin a cat (or a poor toiling bowler).

Ponting had a magnificent year with bat and of course that 5-0 series white wash the poms while Yousuf broke the record for most runs in a season. Take your pick! I watched all og Pontings knocks and only a couple of Yousuf's so from what i had seen, Ponting is my tip but i take nothing away from Yousuf. He had an absolute stellar season.]]> Wed, 04 Apr 2007 02:09:03 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2684&PID=124366#124366 Best Batsman of 2006 : Ponting got the Award http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2684&PID=123978#123978 Author: Ricky Ponting

Both Pontingand Yousef are fine examples to all others. Both were good bats who averaged about 40 until they switched on to just how much ability they have. I do not think they are better skilled than most, they have just mentally decided to apply themselves more. The Don never thought he was any better than others, he just didn't get out as much.
 
Ponting and Yousef, Dravid too are simply more applied to their task.

Wrong my dear, Wrong.

2nd Test SL vs PAK, Mar 26-30, 2006 Asgiriya, Kandy

1st inn. Yousuf b Muralitharan 17
2nd inn. Yousuf not out 14

He averages 31 against SL in 2006. Struggled like a kid against a man when facing Murali.

It hasn't anything to do with Warne. Before the 2000s there were home umpires, and not always neutral umpires... THAT IS ONE BIG FACTOR to why players failed there.

 

And secondly to Dravid Fan. You criticise my comments, I probably know about 100000000 times more about cricket than you do , so if I were you I would keep quiet.


When was that said.

By the way, after watching Ponting's 142 yesterday, I realised that they were both equal. I said Yousuf was better because he made more runs and centuries which is actually all you need to say who the better batsman is.

Unfortunately the thread is related to 2006 and yousuf never faced any of these three in his phenomenal year with bat (probably lucky for those teams I guess!) so is the case with pontting he has not faced a few this year, so probably thinking that he should score more against the three teams would be considered when his carreer is considered. One thing for sure he never played an innings against Bang or Zim for sure!
One thing I want to mantain that scoring runs consistantly is  not a mean feat, we had very very capable batsmen, playing against very poor bowling sides but the highest runs record remained intact for 30 years , so yousuf did a great job and I believe the big names like tandolkar, ponting, lara and inzi will only dream to achieve that, and the fans of these guys will try to negatively analyse yousaf's feat one way or another.
Pretty soon we will hear that a 50 scored in australia or england be considered a century where as a 200 hundred in india, pakistan and bangladesh should be equal to 50! what duoble standards my word!
