I'll say Punter but at the moment Sanga isn't far off.

This thread is pointless. The best batsman cannot simply be decided on averages alone, one must take into account the way in which the batsman plays their shots, e.g - are they aggressive, exciting to watch? Or, are they simply defensive and therefore put a higher price on their wicket?
 
Secondly, the word 'best' is quite ambigious in the cricketing context, and to say Ponting is the best is - pointless. Kallis is in the form of his life so is he better than Ponting? Sangakkara played a magestical innings, and does that make him the 'best'?
 
You may want to think a bit harder before you start threads, garry. Wink
