Your polls should be deleted then, IMO.

You should be deleted too, that's just my opinion.

On a completely unrelated note, CDM's posts have been getting a lot better in the last two weeks or so. Well done. (Just a tip though - when writing sizable cricket posts like the one in this thread, try to seperate it into a few paragraphs to make it easier to read.)

Anyway, went with Ponting as well.

I've edited.

Every poll has an irrelevant option, be it Cabbage, Dasa or Chamara Silva.

haha.

Just downright stupid that Dravid isn't in this poll though.

It's hardly a poll that screams "take me seriously" TBH.

I completely agree and said so a couple of days ago, TBH. Looks like I'm starting to drag that score back... what is it now:
Cribb 321-192 Dickinson?

Lara's highest score in this period = 400 not out.
Number of runs scored by Chamara Silva in his entire Test career to date: 213

Yeah, but you still gotta go for Chamara Silva.

He is closely followed by Cameron Jayasuriya.

Then daylight.

Then probably Ponting.

I thought it was a fair post from andmark actually, he's 10 so probably doesn't remember too far back

Maybe, but I'm a bit of an ass so....

yes, that's true

Kp isn't the only batsmen in history to get a double century Mathew Hayden got a triple century once so if your going to vote for someone based on one particular perfomance vote for Hayden.

 

[grant28]

tendulker, lara and obvious others should be there. what the hell is chamara silva doing there????

 

[grant28]

By the way, Pietersen plays for England not Great Britain or GB as you put.

 

[honestbharani]

seems a little odd that u shud leave out Lara there. He has done enough in tests in the time period mentioned and I think he is easily in the top 3 of the mentioned time period.


But hard to see past Punter as the best of this current era.

 

[cover drive man]

I wonderd why Lara wasn't put there and what about Tendulkar.

Hayden got that 380 against a dire Zimbabwe side.

Hayden got that 380 against a dire Zimbabwe side.

West India are hardly the best team in the world either.

 

[PhoenixFire]

West Indies have nothing to do with this, I was merely stating that Hayden's 380 was against some seriously weak oppo.
