Who do you think is currently the best batsman other than Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara?
 
Well......as you are talking of current form,I will go for Martyn.
 
Jim, jam - jammy for me...Inzy next and then follow Ponting, Hayden, Vaughan, Lakkhu...the list goes on...

If you ask the same question after Jammy retires...my answer would be Michael Clarke...
 
none of the above...
horrible options man
I'll go with others
lets see.....
well it depends on which format of game u r talking about
 
Gilchrist is the best batsman after Sachin and Lara. Also in both forms of cricket. He almost everytime gets Australia to a quick start in the ODIs and not only bails Australia out from numerous precarious positions in Tests when they are 4-5 wickets down but propels them to game winning situation. Also with his out-of-the-world wicketkeeping skills, gentleman attitude and honesty he is the best cricketer in the world right now.

And yes Jammy = Rahul Dravid (he worked in Kissan jams commercial where the jingle goes like this: jam... jam... Jammy :))
 
Colin,you are committing heresy here !!!:) but yeah I forgot Gilly:p...He is there but for me after Jammy...
 
who is jammy!! i vote for sehwag, he's in great form, class act. also vaughny when he's in form, in australia, he was just sooo good, but right now, he isnt that good, he's very on and off, when he bats well, he is immense, but often he is not good! ponting i love the way he bats, the stlye of my batting is adapted from him!
 
vaughan is not even compared to inzy sehwag and youhana and hayden and martyn and fleming' so let me tell you who is the best batsman' it is our own inzimam' after his poor form at world cup' he came back strongly making 2 hundreth's againt' india and the made couple of 50/100's in asia cup then in the holland cup he made 2/50's after that i icc champoin's trophy he made couple of fiftie's as well' then recenly the match againt's india he made 70 run's' so tell me who is better vaughan or inzy' and some people voted for sehwag because he made 150 run's againt's aussie's' and he was struggling for about a year' so if you compare sehwag with inzy you will see that inzy is more expreinced then sehwag' so after all i would go with inzy and youhana and martyn and hayden i would not even vote for vaughan you may say who care's if you dont but listen' the only time i have seen vaughan playing well is agiant's aussie's and that was in a test match after that he was a plumbed' so i suggest that you make a smart choice'
 
Fardin, its Will P's opinion, so I don't think you're in a position to tell him to make a 'smart choice'. You may not agree with his opinion but thats life!

The only time you saw him bat well was against the Australian's eh? Howabout the summer before that tour, against Sri Lanka and India, 2 scores in the 190's, that summer he totalled 2 50's and 4 100's. He made 156 against the South Africans the next summer. More recently, in the 2nd test against Sri Lanka he scored a 50 in the first innings, then a brilliant 100 in the second innings which saved the game. Indeed, in his last 12 innings Vaughan has scored 462 runs at 42.00, which may not be setting the world on fire, but isn't poor either I don't think. That run includes, 2 50's and 3 100's with a top score of 140.

Don't say that he only averages 42 in his last 12 innings because it was against poor opposition (being West Indies and New Zealand). I could say Langer only scored a double hundred against New Zealand today because he was playing against a poor team, and if I said that people would go on that i'm wrong. But that would just be my opinion

My Opinion is that hes not the best in the choice of players, but you wouldn't mind having someone who averages around the 45 mark in your side would you?
