Best subcontinental batsman: 2000-2010
My vote goes to VVS Laxman. Here is a list of the stats during this period excluding BD/Zim and Laxman is right in the mix averaging 53. However if you look at tests in Australia,England and South Africa he averages 54, second only to Tendulkar among these 9 batsmen and far ahead of several of them. So in addition to being superb against the best team in this period and playing a couple of the greatest innings ever he has been consistent home and away against most teams.

Upon reading the title my first instinct was Jayawardene, although that may just be because of the difference between this and his other performances. Still, he'd be right up there. Sehwag worth a serious shout too.

Away from SCDravid, SRT and VVS leads here.
So my choice would be 1. SRT, 2. Dravid, 3. VVS / Sangakkara (because he was starting his career unlike above) |

Sehwag 56 Inzamam 55 Jayawardane 54 Sangakkara 53 Laxman 53 Younis 52 Yousuf 52 Dravid 51 Tendulkar 51 If you look at tests in Aus, Eng and SA you get: Tendulkar 56 Laxman 54 Dravid 53 Sehwag 45 Younis 43 Sangakarra 41 Yousuf 41 Jaywardane 38 Inzamam 37 It's the latter number which really separates the players IMO.

Agree with Pews. I think its probably Tendulkar or Sangakkara although I'm leaning towards Tendulkar more. Top player.

Miagra why is your end date 31st Dec 2010? I thought 2000-2010 is basically the 2000s decade.
Here is the real list excluding Bangladesh and Zimbabwe: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/eng...s;type=batting |

No, the decade is 2000-2009. I am interested in evaluating players from 2000 to the current date so therefore 2000-2010. It does make a bit of difference since Tendulkar in particular has had a great year.

Yeh, if you go to 2010 you are including 11 years - not a decade.
Reckon it's Sangakkara.
