Nobody mentiones Dravid, Laxman..these guys are greats in tests


Lara..supreme 400, but when? Isn't he a choker too!

After loosing the series..he gets the name of 400*....

Best Batsmen or Best score Builder
Lara is inconsistent. He shows his sheer genius now and then. With his talent he should have had a Test average in the high 50's.

Dravid is arguably the best Test batsman today.

BBW..Bucknor before Wicket. But many argue abt indian umpires as being biased..but it seems bucknor did injustice to his reputation.
Venkat was a terrific umpire.

Apart from this series , if u remember the Ind/Aus Sharjah Final...gave Sachin LBW round the wicket to Kaspa...Tony Greig was abt to jump from the comm box for that one
Yeah remember that. And he turned down some very close one's before that!

well if someone has the kind of firepower that SRT has compared to BCL, who do you think is under more pressure??
SRT faced the same situation as BCL from 89 to 2000......thats probably as much time as BCL had to till now.

And 89-2000 SRT had a similar record to BCL.

So, under pressure, both play similarly. So how can you call BCL the better batsman on that account ?....BCL may be a better batsman thaN SRT , but the 'pressure' point you put across is not a valid reason for that.

oh yes, without a doubt and as i was saying in another thread it wasn't entirely his fault that Ind lost the WC final. i THINK that the bowlers who conceded 349 should shoulder just a bit of the blame too.
