Ritwik Bhuyan has put an interesting list of the top 5 ODI and test batsmen of all time....
And i can vouch for the fact that this list is shocking and extremely biased...
Simply put, if an Indian cricketer had been as mediocre as Bevan or as profligate as Deano, his name would not have been even in the top 20 of all time.....
Bevan and Dean Jones find their names in the top 5 ODI list simply cos of the fact that they are from Australia.....they just don't deserve it...there have been far better batsmen.....
And all those who are questioning my credentials; i can challenge any of you to have a proper debate with me and then i'll show who is the tyro and who understands the game!!
I have seen michael Bevan thru his career...i have seen Deno from the time he played that heroic 210 at Madras in 86...
Bevan : 1) Complete inability to face the short ball 2) Hopeless against the moving ball 3) Inability to hit big sixes or fours 4) Flat track bully
What then explains his astounding average?? 1) The fact that he batted at no.6 - Ponting, gilly, Waugh, Lehman would have sftened the ball by that time...he would get a flat track and a soft ball to work away...no lateral movement..nothing... 2) cos he batted so low, he had an etraordinary number of notouts....something like 30% of his total innings...
Deano was a flat track bully and had a keen eye for the spinner......fine player but not in the same league as Ganguly, Jaya and Inzy and Ponting.....

Hey gr8 mini, you are everywhere but your mini will not be everywhere to cover your other parts. take care
195 was just not enough in 29 overs. Jayasuriya took some chances earlier to keep the run rate down and turned the fate of the match right away. D/L method has nothing to do with our defeat. Who knows, they might have won even if they had to chase 195 from 29 overs.

Absolutely right. In the history of the game I do not think there is any one can be added.

dont try to understand that you can never understand..understand?
Dhoni says that Lankan batsmen took risks and were successful, infact they did not take such risks, after first 2 overs of the gr8 Sreeshant, it was evident that Lankans were in the driver seat. After those 2 overs of Sreeshant, their reqd. run rate dropped drastically which helped them to victory.
