Other than for sentimental/stylistic reasons, what in Ponting's record makes him inferior to Lara and Tendulkar?
Statistics, which is all this study takes into account, have accorded him his due place, although in all honesty I'd have him in my team over both Sachin and Lara purely because he's more likely to score me runs than the two of them.
