Zaheer Abbas vs Ricky Ponting ODIs

[mominsaigul_TravisHeadFan]

2.of my favorites and 2.of the GOATs in ODIs. Zaheer had the elegance and stats, Ricky had the longevity and big innings. Who takes this?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

I have never seen a better innings in ODI cricket than what Ponting did in that 2003 WC final

Zaheer was second only to Viv during his career in terms of overall numbers though he has a very poor record against the best team of his era

I was a fan of it initially but haven’t really cared about it for more than a decade

I really didn’t even care that much when India won the 2011 World Cup by that time lost interest in odis

Without considering longevity, Zaheer Abbas is the greatest ODI Batsman after Era adjusting ( Avg, SR and century ratio )

Abbas > Sachin > Viv > AB > Rest.

Can I see your top 15 ODI cricketers list? Just wanted to see where Dhoni ends up.

Why is Dhoni a top dog despite having too many not outs and he doesn't have high ave in test (where you don't get too many not outs)Which means what if he batting early like he did during mid 2000s what his ave be?

 

[Fanboy375]

though he has a very poor record against the best team of his era

Against Eng,Aus and WI he ave 46 and Strike rate 76.His strike rate is above norm during that time still

Bevan has more not out ratio. Both were great finishers, stayed in the crease till the end of the innings, contributed in reaching a good total. Both are top 10 ODI batters imo.

How could not outs possibly be a bad thing for someone batting 5 or 6 with a SR of 80+ in ODIs?
