Excellent points - I am a big fan of Rahul myself(is maddy around? Freudian interpretation paNNa aarabichuruvAr...) but it's got to be Sachin & Brian for the top batsmen stakes of the past few generations. Ponting, Kallis and Rahul come only after this with Sivanarayana Chandiyar etc bringing up the next tier. I'd rate Rahul above Kallis easily for the match winning knocks. Due to my bias, I'd also rate him above Ricky dude, especially in test matches. I reckon an objective analysis of their careers will lead an impartial observer to the same conclusion viz a viz Rahul Dravidan vs Ricardo Ponting. The WC 2003 100 in the finals obscures Ponting's many flaws.
1. How many single-handle fourth innings centuries he has - I mean, he has 3 unbeaten 4th innings 100s in victory but - has he ever perfromed like Sachin did in Chepauk for that 136? The results shouldnt obscure the fact that Sachin actually almost won a single handed battle there while Ricky has no such effort in his resume - win or lose. He is, at best, Jaishankar in Apoorva SagodharargaL, never a Amrish Puri in Mr India. I mean, forget the subjective part of this- even objectively show me one such winning or losing effort from Mr Ricardo?
2. Well documented weakness against Durby. I mean, it's Durby, for Chris Broad's sake! Someone with that in his resume can never cross the boundary from "very good" to "great", I say!
3. Suspect in swinging and seaming conditions - I say, where are the "114s in Perth", for instance, not to mention those wonderful 150s and 170s in South Africa. What is Ricardo's record in South Africa when not propped up by the Gillys and Haydens and Martyns and Waughs? What is his record in England?
I say, Ricardo doesnt even measure up to the Wall, let alone God.

Idhu renduthulayume Sachin/Lara top adhu vera vishayam.
Between George Bush and Dravidan, i like to watch the former more than Dravid. What an audacious pull shot he has. That apart i would rate Dravid higher than Ponting - for obvious reasons
Next Kaali paya
[indha tharunathula statistics enna solludhu nu therila. Maybe the numbers would render my 2nd/3rd rung ranking "naansense", i don't know]
As for Soundarapaal and Kirustuvan (:lol: ), rendume sariyana blade. Naathu nadumbodhu kayya pudichu straighta groundukku koottitu vandhutaanga pola irukku Siva Narayanan Saundarapaal-a. Innum konjam kuthunaan-na Vadivel comedy madhiri thanni peerikittu vandhurum. And commando madhiri mai-a vera poosikittu!
Useless digression apart, neenga yaravadhu stats kudutheenganna athan padiye poven. Uninterested to rank them.
[Gary was in a stronger team and Soundarapaal was in a weaker team nu mattum nenaikkaren]
