nice work C4
Tendulkar is somewhat of a flat track bully, he scores alot less in the second innings and averages more when india win.I cant speak for Kallis because im unaware of these stats on those things for him but Lara and Ponting are the complete oppiosite with Tendulkar on those stats.And up until early 2009 Ponting averged more then Sachin, and Ponting and Kallis have played alot less agianst the likes of zimbabwe and Bangladesh

and btw mine is
Lara> Ponting> Kallis> Tendulkar

[Maca24]

Lara was the king.

Lara > Ponting > Sachin > Kallis.

Kallis has a yuck strike rate and is a White Goodman  :P

Ponting better than Sachin IMO. As people have said Tendulkar is a bit of a flat track bully.

[Cookie Monster]

Ponting the best when he was in his peak. Batted at 3 which is possibly the toughest position to bat in whereas Lara and Dulks batted at 4 which is easier. Dulks also scores most of his runs on the slow subcontinent

Ponting easily, at his peak.


Lara and Dulks play teams like Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.


That is why Ponting is so much better, playing teams like, England, South Africa, India and the best teams in the world.

Ponting>Lara>Dulks>Kallis

Although reading the plaper today, Kallis has a better average than both Dulks and Ponting.

[pyronerd]

Lara > Dulks > Ponting > Kallis for me in terms of batting, obviously Kallis is the best bowler of the lot

Kallis has a shower Strike Rate, hence why I rate him below the others

[Hawka]

Strike rate should not mean much in tests imo

[pyronerd]

Strike rate should not mean much in tests imo

what it does mean though, is that he will bat for the same time as the other guys, and put a heap less scoreboard pressure on, meaning the the opposing team will have a fair bit smaller total to chase, even in test cricket, faster runs are better runs (provided you stay in, which all of these do/did as well as anybody anyway)

EXACTLY. thanks pyro this was the point I was trying to male :P

Thats why IMO he costs them a lot of test wins and bats for his average  :-X

[Windigo]

There all legends in their own ways. Even Kallis, what an incredible arrogant prick batsmen.

[BratPack]
