Hi to all here @ CW, my 1st. post here .. by far the best Cricket forum on the net.

As a Cricket -stats fanatic, i compare all the best all the time. A very interesting stat is that after 246 Test innings, the difference between Kallis, Tendulkar & Ponting was only 21 runs, can you believe it after so many innings and so close between them ?

Ponting: 11960
Kallis: 11947
Tendulkar: 11939

Both Tendulkar and Ponting went to 12000 in 247 innings, Kallis need 53 in his next test inn. to equal them.

As for the bowling part, no comparrison of course :laugh:

I calculated the runs per innings for the 3 of them a while back (ignoring not outs) and Tendulkar was ahead of them both by a couple of runs I think. Lara is ahead of Tendulkar.

Can we reduce it to 150 to 200 innings and perhaps we can include Dravid,Yousuf,Sanga and Lara etc... too.

Strong 1st post OP.
In the old cricinfo formau they had that stat. Fastest to 1000 2000 3000 etc.
Now that stat is by time taken to reach runs.

For me, really just re-iterates that;

Ponting = Kallis =Tendulkar =Lara as a batsman &;


Kallis >>>>>>> Ponting, Tendulkar, Lara as a cricketer

Not if you were to take ODIs into account though. The gap closes quite rapidly.

For me there's a huge difference between Cricketer and LO cricketer tbh. I'm not a fan of giving the former or latter part importance in rating cricketers. For instance, for me, Mike Bevan was an incredible LO cricketer, not a very good cricketer.

After their first test Raina had a century while Don Bradman had something like ten or something.

For me it reiterates that Raina is a better batsman than Donald Bradman.

If you take into their bowling and fielding skills, no question who the better cricketer is.
