Is Ricky Ponting a better batsman than Brian Lara?

[Coronis]

It was really tough for him compared to Ponting and Tendulkar.

DONT BE SILLY TENDULKAR HAD THE PRESSURE OF A BILLION INDIANS AND PONTING HAD TO LIVE UP TO WAUGH

For me guys Sachin Tendulkar is the best batsman of all time, 2nd Brian Lara, 3rd Ricky Ponting, 4th Virat Kholi, 5th Kallis

I loved watching Lara bat, but his average in the WI is assisted greatly by his stat padding 375 and 400 on roads against England

Only really Bourda and the ARG were roads . The rest like Sabina and Kensington assisted fast bowling. Queens Park generally favored spin or had uneven bounce. Lara made runs at home vs everyone, curiously except for India.

Lara made runs at home

Who didn’t?
