Your name was a bit of a giveaway tbh. Although Dravid is my favourite player I voted for Ponting just in case he burst into tears again at more vicious, biting Pommie humour. |

Inzamam is the best ever after Viv Richards - Imran Khan A Class above the rest when it comes to having time against fast ballers - Ian Chappel Its a treat to watch Inzamam coming down the pitch and hitting a spinner (read Kumble) over his head for a high and mighty sixer. - Sanjay Manjrekar |

| I would rate ponting as the best on current form and career record, currently the other player enjoying great form is Younus khan, If you include last year also it would ponting again followed by Inzimam. |

| Pls guys what a stupid poll, you can vote as many times as you like, where is tendolkar, lara, if you think the guys listed are better than these two! The word best should never have been used, I think poll should be whos better among these and all of us should boost about our favourites. Tendolkar has been the best batsman in world cricket, although his form has declined and I believe he should retire honourably, but as long as he's playing he will be the undisputed best! |
Posted By: saadadvanced7
Date Posted: 25 February 2006 at 6:40am

Tendulkar might be the highest run scorer this year because it looks to me like he's found his form again.
If Younis keeps scoring like he did against India in the test series, he'll probably score 2000+ runs. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Righte now Ponting is the best and Dravid is second. It's just that Dravid is not in his usual form. He is still in very very good form, but he normally is very very very very very.... You get my point. But it won't be long by the time he gets the very raise to the power of 30 form. ------------- |

Since this thread did not specify current player or old player. I can put a player from any year of cricket.
So the best batsman in the world is obviously that way Sir Donald Bradman. I salute him . Did you guys know that he is faster than many players in the world today. He used to makes his 300's in a day. ------------- |

I think mr Ponting is streaks ahead... as i said in another thread.. 557 runs and 4 centuries already in only 3 tests this year
|
Posted By: RightHandBat
Date Posted: 28 March 2006 at 9:15am
| Certainly, Ricky Ponting. Those two hundreds in the 2nd Test against SA. He's in terrific form. Has made 30 test hundreds, and he has made centuries 3 times in each innings of a test match. |

Ponting IS the best batsmen of the ERA. That includes Lara, Tendaulkar, Richards, Chappell,etc.... When all the arguments subside about quality of opposition, how they look, technique, etc. The only true indicator is averages. And i mean averages against countries that can actually play cricket... His average is comparable with Tendaluker, Dravid and Kallis(All up around the mid 50s). However, look at Tendaulker, Kallis and Dravid's averages against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. That combines with the number of innings played against these minnows, has bumped their averages up by app. 2-4. Conversely, ponting has played only a couple of innings against both countries with a surprisingly modest average. Take out averages against these 2 countries and Pontings still stands at around 58, whilst the others drop back down to about 52-53.

| Ponting is the best current batsman and icing on the cake is the fine form he has , infact for last 18 months he has been the most prolific, where as the nearest rival inzi has a severe slump and he has gone bad, the only one performing in the same way is M. hussey another ausie! |

Yes very true Ponting is definetly the best in the world right now.This is the test rankings.
