best batter in the world?

Connor Fitzgerald · 27-01-2002, 10:33 AM

Who do you think the best batter in the world is? I think it is Sachin Tendulkar

Cybersmurf · 27-01-2002, 01:49 PM

i would second that, or McMillan

marc71178 · 27-01-2002, 02:10 PM

In my view, the man they're all chasing is Lara.

Sam · 27-01-2002, 09:42 PM

LARA !!!

Cybersmurf you can't be seriuos about Macca i mena yes very good player but no way near Lara and Tendulkars league just watch him in the VB series he has been a real let down for me.

age_master · 27-01-2002, 10:51 PM

for skill, prob tendulkar - you can never be sure however

for consistancy - S Waugh
For Aggression - Gilchrist

This Year - Hayden, NO CONTEST

Cybersmurf · 28-01-2002, 01:25 AM

i was joking, i just think MCCA is the best ay everything

aannie · 29-01-2002, 03:55 PM

Eclipse · 29-01-2002, 10:08 PM

Talent :

Lara
Tendulkar
Ponting

Consistency :
S.Waugh
A.Flower

Aggresion :

Gilchrist ( 2nd highest test skt rate in history of test cricket + 1000 runs)
Gibbs
Ponting
Mcmillan
Cairns

Im picking Andy Flower cause he has to carry the bulk of the Zimbabwe innings and for a guy to be averaging 50+ from such a lowly nation aswell as keeping thats very impressive in my opinion.

age_master · 01-02-2002, 08:39 PM

Gilly also averages 50+ 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D 8D

Tendulkar is the best for concentration and getting on top of the best bowling attacks. Lara is the best for getting quickfire runs. Lara lacks consistency in his batting.

Hayden, Martyn, Waugh brothers and Gilchrist are the best Aussies.

marc71178 · 06-02-2002, 04:38 PM

If Tendulkar's concentration is so good, how come he doesn't get the really big scores that Lara gets?

Also, why not name the Aussie top 7 and say they're Australia's best batsmen?

Geoff · 07-02-2002, 10:15 PM

At the moment, on form it would have to be Matthew Hayden.

But I would put Lara and Tendulkar up there. Although Tendulkar scores more runs, I think Lara has played a lot more big innings when they have counted.

Nobody mentioned Dravid or Laxman in this thread(or Inzamam, Chanderpaul, Atapattu, Vaughan, many many more)
