Was just thinking this myself. Mahela probably comes out on top for me as he just plays some glorious cricket strokes. Sanga may average more and be better in the eyes of many but for for be it is almost like Beauty and the Beast watching them bat together so I choose Beauty.

When he is on song only Ian Bell of the last couple of years comes anywhere near looking as technically brilliant and as good to watch. My idea of heaven in the series next year would be an England win but Mahela to score a ton in each test. Just love watching him bat.

Yeah I quite like watching Bell as well. Players like these are like a breath of fresh air.
Mahela is far better captain than sanga. Even sanga admits this

I agree. I was trying to say if you take those into account it becomes closer, but Sanga is still the better cricketer.
sorry, massive comprehension fail on my part

This.
When Sanga gets in he seems stuck on the wicket. Seems almost impossible to remove. With Jaya you always get the feeling that you are in with a chance

I adore Mahela.
No-one in the world bats like he does, a classically elegant batsman who scores quickly and stylishly, and remains world class in all formats. And he's one of the best captains of the last decade.
The interesting thing about him is that even though Tests are his better format, it's in the shorter forms where he becomes so special - nobody can give us an ODI ton like Mahela can. And in T20 he scored a remarkable hundred in Guyana. On a pitch where hardly anyone else could get it off the square, he was stroking the ball to the boundary time and time again, as though he were playing with a bunch of schoolchildren. He can be one of those batsman that can just seem better than everyone on the field by a huge margin.
I don't usually care that much for limited overs cricket, and Mahela is one of very few cricketers who can make me.
So for now I will bin my rational hat (seeing as I can't make a case against what Sanga has achieved with the bat, especially over the last four years) and vote for him.
