Dravid's strike rate in ODI is 70, so he scores much slower than Ponting.

ODI batting order

Yuvraj


Kaif


Raina


Dhoni



My favorite line-up. My dream line-up at the moment. If Ganguly was in good form I'd put him in place of Raina. If he was in good form.

i know a strike rate of 70 may be good over the past couple of years, but scores are getting bigger and bigger, and i think pretty soon, about 85 will be the equivalent, the question is whether or not dravid could up his tempo as the game scores increase, becuase i know ponting could quite easily!

Ponting hands down no arguments..plus Dravid is always changing around in the order. Ponting also scores quicker.

Yeh dead right. I am also sick of some of these people who hate Aust so much for beating their team taht they always vote against them..pathetic really,  a veiled dig at Aussies. People who said Dravid are kidding themselves, he is an excellent batsmen but not the best 1 down obviously.

So where should dravid play if not at number three? I would say that dravid is a very good number three batsman and ponting would be equal with him. I cannot say that one is better than the other.

hard to compare.... both have excellent records as it has been shown...

however they are both completely different players.... Dravid is aptly name "The Rock" for his ability to stay at the crease and hold the indian innings together..

Where as ponting, has the ability to take an attack apart... he can change how he plays to fit the situation... whether he comes in at 1-12 or 1-112 he can turn the game on it's head and take apart the opposing bowling attack.

as i said.... both are fantastic... but Ponting's ability to take apart any attack around the world, no matter what the situation makes him a gamebreaker... and for mine, he is the best no.3 in the world since 1 DG Bradman

But I think Kumar Sangakkara is really Great with the situvations he batting with.Coz he hasn't had any great partners like Sachin or Martin.Most times he hold the innings together.

  COZ OF THESE HE IS THE BEST IN HIS TIME
                   REALLY

hmmm nice to see that some more well balanced and highly intellegent individuals have joined the forums to lower all of our IQ's.....

will you please explain how on earth either Shoaib Malik or Kumar Sangakkarra are better than Ponting or Dravid ??? how about making a logical decision and explaining why than just raving on with a whole load of crap just because they are a player from your country...

honestly how the hell is shoaib malik "by far the best onedown batsman at the moment"... since the start of Australia's series against WI Ricky Ponting has scored 1022 runs in 7 tests (excluding the current test) at an average or 85.... please show me the figures that support your statement or malik being better than ponting....

Dead right, normally I would toss it up between Dravid and Ponting but Dravid has not played at no.3 that much..Ponting for  mine.

After Dravid has become captain, he comes at no.3 more often. But you can compare them in tests because they both come at no.3 in Tests always.

hawk eye is one of the most biased persons i have ever seen. he is comparing malik with the likes of ponting and dravid.

they r the dons of cricket whereas he is still a kid who has to learn a lot to match the likes of the above two.

if he had said inzy i wouldn't have mind as he is also a very good player but shoaib mailk?
