2Sir
Donald Bradman
He the best full stop. 99.94
average at any time is still good. No come close.
If you are talking about the best
batsman of all-time that is Sir Don Bradman. Granted, he played in an
Era where there were fewer team than there is today... But Bradman played in an era where they played on uncovered pitches. Let's not forget the fact that players like Bradman had there careers interrupted by the Second World War. It was some time before their careers resumed.
Bradman was known for his dedication to perfecting his skills, such the famous batting the golf ball up against the wall with a stump to sharpen his hand-eye coordination.
Bradman held a lot of batting records, such as the most double centuries and the highest score in test cricket for many years before some of these records were eventually broken. However, he still holds the record for the highest average in test cricket history. A record that many experts believe will never be broken.
When Bradman retired from test cricket in 1948 he had scored 6,996 runs in 52 tests with 29 centuries and 13 fifties at a staggering average of 99.94!

Bradman is easily the best. Averaged
99.94 over about a 20 year period! No one else comes close. If someone came
along in 40 years and played almost 4 times more test cricket than Tendulkar has
and made a lot more runs than him, because he played so much more, but averaged
only a little over half what Tendulkar has averaged (say 30), would we say he
was better than Tendulkar? I'd suggest "hell no".
It's the same as for Bradman v Tendulkar.
Averages tell the full story. Bradman averaged what, probably at least double what the next best in the world of his time averaged. Tendulkar doesn't even have a batting average as high as Jaques Kallis, who has also taken 271 test wickets, despite Sachin playing on batting roads in the sub continent all the time.
Tendulkar has also made 8 test centuries (including at least two 200+ not outs) against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe and Bradman never got to play against such inferior opposition. (63 of Bradman's 80 test innings were against England and he scored 19 centuries against them, with his other test centuries being against Sth Africa, India and the West Indies. In fact he reportedly scored 10 centuries against those other 3, and if he played only 17 innings against teams other than England, that means he scored 10 centuries in a maximum of 17 innings against Sth Africa, India and the West Indies! ).
Given the fact it's debatable whether Tendulkar is even better than some of those in his own time, like Lara, Kallis and Ponting (pre-slump) it's laughable to suggest he's better than Bradman, who was eons better then anyone of his time. If Tendulkar was averaging about double what the next best of his time was averaging, then we could debate whether he was better than Bradman, but he doesn't even have the best current average, let alone double it!
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but if Bradman had batted in as many innings as Tendulkar and maintained his career average (99.94) he would have made over 30,000 runs. Tendulkar has made less than 16,000. Silly debate.

Lara
Help I don't understand! How is he

He is pure class of a batsman

is just superb! The best of all times in the history of cricket!
This is the best ever Batsman in the
world. Everyone after him has tried to emulate him. Great Cricketer. West
Indians are the best.

4Ricky
Ponting
HE is the best captain of Australia
RICKY PONTING more centuries in test and
Odi cricket than any other Australian in test he can scored 39 centuries
In odi he can scored 30 centuries
Odi cricket than any other Australian in test he can scored 39 centuries
In odi he can scored 30 centuries
Ricky Ponting has probably been the
best captain for Australia and likely the world he has world cup once and is
great bats men
The best class player in the
world... He is the best batsmen of all time... You rock Ponting... Now you will
be the best batsmen of all time... Compare the matches between tendulkar and
ponting... Ponting is way ahead when tendulkar was in ponting's place..

Dravid
The wall stands tall even at the
age of 38. He has been called up up by the national team for odi's and t20. He
didn't get opportunity since the last 4 years. He has scored more than 12000
runs in test cricket at an average of 54.58. Whenever he has made his century,
India has won. Only in two occasions he has been unsuccessful.
He is great. He is the last
classical batsmen. He is a stroke maker an artist in one, he is the wall in good
form you can call him to bat for your life
The Wall is great!
He should be at the first position. People please vote for Rahul Dravid. We need to spread the message.

9Jacques
Kallis
He is a batting great and a world
class bowler - the greatest all rounder of all time
because I think he have the ability
to high class batting performance.
Apart from perhaps the almost unseen
Barry Richards, Kallis would be South Africa's greatest ever batsman having
scored over 9,700 test runs at an average of 55.46.

10Vivian
Richards
KING VIVIAN RICHARDS IS KNOWN FOR
HIS STYLE AND GRACE ON AND OFF THE FIELD. AROUND THE WORLD HE IS ALSO KNOWN AS
SMOKINJOE HE WAS THE BEST IN BOXING RING, He never used helmet. Because of him
windies won two WORLD CUPS.M. vIJAY RAICHUR KARNATAKA.
Unlike Sachin Tendulkar Vivian could
win test series. He captained 50 tests and never lost a test series. At Home or
Away, he was unstoppable. He scored 100 first class test century's
I personally thinks that Vivian
Richard was the best batsman. He played very well and was on top of all the
bowlers particularly the fast bowlers, He was very talented batsman. Crowd
enjoyed very much with his play all around the world. After his retirement in
early 90's West Indies never went back like before. And I don't think they will
ever find a batsman like him.
Whereas bradman is mediocre because if you see ICC best bowler during his time there is no single best bowler alive on his time, all were batsman and fielding was sloppy not a world class like of today's.
When bradman played his last test with huge expectation to score only 4 runs to make his average 100, he went out for 0 runs only. On the other hand sachin has been carrying burden of billion people's and their expectation over many years along with the success to fulfill those expectations including World Cup.
LONG LIVE SACHIN... GOD OF CRICKET!
