    Is Ricky Ponting a better batsman than Brian Lara?

    What about his double ton in Aus when he was run out in the end. People rave about that to, and a run-out was the only way he was ever going to get out.

    Did you add the poll PEWS?

    Is Ricky Ponting a better batsman than Brian Lara?

    I'd say that Lara's CV of different achievements is more complete, but that Ponting has been somewhat more consistent in performing near his best. It's in my mind largely an issue of which characteristic is more important to you. EDIT: A poll would have been traditional...

    Is Ricky Ponting a better batsman than Brian Lara?

    In before stat trench warfare begins. :ph34r: They're close enough that there is no definitive answer, it will be a matter for subjective personal opinion and taste. I'd probably go for Lara most of the time.

    Actually, that attack is lacking a Wasim Akram tbh.

    Believe I've now made more posts than Tendulkar has scored test runs.

    Boxing thread

    The Youtube comments are a pretty sad reflection on either the "fans" who make comments on Youtube, the status of the sport, or possibly a bit of both.

    *Official* West Indies In Australia

    Yeah, still a massive fan and believer in his potential to play 50 tests and be a key part of our future, but at the moment, he's probably bowling the worst out of the four main quicks, although Johnson wasn't great today either from the sounds of it.

    The 90s and 00s banlisted draft thread

    Christ. I hate this draft :(. I've never had a problem keeping such a simple set of rules straight before. Now, I can't see Andrew Strauss's name anywhere on the above lists, however at this point I'm quite prepared to concede that it probably does appear there somewhere.

    Poor Shiv got Raufed it would seem. Glad that we're making the game more fair by using this technology. 8-)

    The 90s and 00s banlisted draft thread

    Aravinda De Silva - from 1990 to 2002, scored more than 5000, including 17 centuries, at over 45. So far: Younus, Aravinda, Flower, Flintoff, Streak, and MacGill. I vote "no" for the 12th round - I sacrificed selecting the best available pure batsman or bowler in my first two picks, to ensure...

    Hayden vs Sehwag (+ other tasty treats)

    Hayden fairly easily for me.

    Hayden and Langer for me. Sehwag very close.
