Lets be honest here Amit

What are the chances of you not voting for an Indian.
In fact given the events of the last 24 hours I'd say the chances of you not voting for Dravid are no better than 5%.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

and no votes for sachin :O

Sachin has averaged less than 45 since 2001.

 

[iamdavid]

:O :O :O

Rahul Dravid test average = 56.45

Sachin Tendulkar test average = 55.75

:O :O :O

A changing of the guard perhaps ???

Still , Lara is better than both methinks:P

 

[jagaways]

oh big DEAL. so dravid's average moved up above tendulkars after a huge knock of 233 and a 72*. and sachin's had a small run of bad innings. to say that that means dravid is better than tendulkar is absolute codswallop. but anyway, my vote goes to brian lara for this because obviously since 2000/2001 tendulkar hasn't been top notch and lara has been shining. to rate hayden or ponting over lara is i think pretty stupid. and g.smith has played a few huge good knocks but apart from that has been ordinary. so yep..brian lara it is! and amits...PLZ don't say sachin tendulkar...even tho he's obviously the best batsman in the world in both forms of the game in general...he has NOT been the best since 00/01.

Ignoring Dravid and Laxman et al.

Not to mention AA!

 

[Langeveldt]

Yeh let me guess Amits I think a couple of Namibians had a good WC, maybe a vote for Andries Burger??

 

[Mr. P]

Not to mention AA!

It was a good spell of bowling, yes, but i feel i am oblidged to tell you to crawl up in a ball and die, or at least in the short term be viciously mauled by a large polar bear.

But we're talking aout batting, so what's that got to do with it?! :P

Well Amit, i hope ur debate is not about the usual topic "patriotism"

 

[ReallyCrazy]

there's something about 3 consecutive years of over 1000 runs that just screams "Pretty Damn Good".

I agree. Hayden for me.

2nd is Dravid.

Amits don't call me unpatriotic just coz I said Hayden's before Dravid

Ponting has the best batting average in the last 2 years, at 78.97. But I think Lara is the best.
Merry Xmas to you all
