Who's the better ODI batsman?

[Precambrian]

Same holds for Great Markbatch and Tendulkar.

SRs of 71 and 85 respectively.

It seems you did not read my post properly! Check that WC 1992+ era note!

Matchwinner I said. Averages lie in this case. Tendulkar is a partnership breaker. Anyway out of context I suppose.

Viv was not a bad part time bowler either.

 

[Harry Harrison]

In his time Viv was only player of his type. He was unique, we can put very few in his category.

Greatbach made things easier for players like Sachin, Jayasuriya, Kaluwitharana, Sohail, Anwar etc [ WC 1992 + era ]

In my opinion, Viv is better ODI bat than SRT!

You forgot abour Zaheer Abbas. He was equally good as far as strike rate is concerned. Perhaps Zaheer had better.

 

[Harry Harrison]

The answer is Michael Bevan. The rest is irrelevant.

Bevan was the best finisher but not the best ODI batsman. It would be either Viv or Zaheer.

Kris Srikanth made it easy for Viv in that case.

Why not Ponting? Hussey? Pietersen? Dhoni? Kallis?

May be Ponting, Bevan and Jayasuriya may be classed with them. Hussey, Pietersen and Dhoni are way behind those elite four.

Seeing batsmen from 1992 WC to 1996 WC (who has atleaset 400+ runs), Mark Greatbatch only has a mediocre SR of 65 with an average of 25.4. Pretty crappy record. In that era there were batsmen like Kaluwitharana (SR 89), Tendulkar (84), Carins (83), Healy (83), Ijaz (83), Ranatunga, Wasim and Border (82) and De Silva (81). Source

Jayasuriya, even before experimentation had a SR of 76, Saying Greatbatch has paved the way for attacking openers is pure rubbish, becasue he is was a sail with his SR.
