    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Where you rate PJ shows the utter bias you have. He was way above David Muray as a keeper. Infact he is beter tgan any keeper West Indies ever had. Sangakkara kept for more varied attacks. Fast bowlers, medium.paers, big spinners, ununorthodox bowlers and on difficult pitches than any keeper...

    So they are in the same class. Case closed.

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    For accurate bowlers you could anticipate things from release, action and angle of delivery. But when the bowler has no idea which way ball is going to seam or swing, or how fast it is released from the hand, it comes down to pure primal skills of wicket keeping. Catching the edge off inaccurate...

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Sangakkara was able to do these kinds of magic behind the wickets. Comes up to stumps against a bowler bowling 125-130k and pulls this off against one of the best batsman.

    As batsmen. Kallis and Sanga are way ahead as players than the other two.

    Ponting vs Sangakkara (against pace)

    Ponting. Probably one of the best if not the best in recent times. Sanga was a great player of pace, and was better than Ponting's peers. Odd thing is Sanga was better player of pace than spin. Other than for taking Ajmal to the cleaners, he was always very defensive against spin. it was MJ who...

    The Biggest Spinner of the ball?

    But not by Sri Lankans. MacGill was woeful against us too.

    The Biggest Spinner of the ball?

    Won't make a Ranji team given how he was taken to cleaners by Indian and Sri Lankan batsmen. Some Indian domestics play spin better than their internationals as well. Pakistan and Sri Lanka, he would have a chance because our FC batsmen are not as good as indian ones against spin.

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Nah, we are including ODis also, since keeping is almost identical in both situations. I am not sure what you ameant by Malinga's effectiveness. It doesn't matter Malinga or Fernando troubled batsmen. Malinga was tough to keep because of his release and variations. Fernando was tough because he...

    Duh.

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Bowlers like Fernando were 90 miles merchants and sprayed it around. Malinga was accurate, but his deliveries produced unpredictable bounce even on best of surfaces. Gilchrist may have kept for Tait for same matches, but no where day and day out keeping to like fast and way ward Sri Lankan...

    Wiann Mulder or Washington Sundar?

    This is an interesting observation. We know that Murali and Ashwin both had non classical off break actions and neither were big with drift. (And whenever they got it, they ripped through line ups). Sundar and Lyon are way more orthodox and get bucket loads of drift. Swann and Saqlain were...

    Ricky Ponting vs Kumar Sangakkara

    Nah, Sanga kept to better spinners and more wayward fast bowlers, on pitches with unpredictable bounce. Reconsidering he is two or more tiers above Gilchrist.

    In terms of match impact, is Botham better than Tendulkar and McGrath?

    Desn't look at least impressive on this list.
