It’s a close one for sure

Smith. Best Batsman Ever except Bradman.
Was basically unstoppable at his peak from 2014-2019.

Smith will probably end up as top 5 so not unreasonable to have him at #2
viv had a better peak for longer
Ponting had a similar peak
Sachin had a similar peak for a LOT longer

Ponting never had an away series like Smith in India 2017 or in England 2019 tho. Agree that Viv and Tendulkar had similar peaks tho
I agree to an extent. There was a period he was utterly dominant.
The overarching point is that Smith’s peak while exceptional is not unprecedented. Viv (for dominance and era) and Sachin (for length and consistency and era) are ahead for me. Ponting is probably behind but not far.

Yep Sanga, Kallis, and Williamson have ridiculous peaks as well
not comparable
