gaurav92 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Virat's average away from home against a decent opposition. Rain's average away from home against decent opposition. Sachin's average against decent opposition away from Home. Viart has an average of 33, Raina has 26 and Sachin has an average of over 36. Now Virat's average will be tested in England and Australia as he haven't been there once.Only time will tell how good a bat he is on bouncier tracks.

Virat was man of the series in EPT against some good fast bowlers of AUS and SA...he scored a good half century at Wanderers in Champions trophy on the toughest wicket I have seen since then against good fast bowling of Kemar Roach and Tonge who both were bowling well..
vvvslaxman Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 It is an honor to be considered to be the top dog among the line up that has Sachin, Viru, Gauti, Dhoni, Yuvraj. It is pretty much impossible to achieve that distinction. This guy has achieved it.
ganeshran Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Raina would walk into several batting line up in this world. he is great on subcontinent pitches, but doesnt do well outside
vvvslaxman Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 he is great on subcontinent pitches' date=' but doesnt do well outside[/quote'] i would say great on pitches that has less bounce. Doesn't matter which country. He smacked the living day lights out of NZ bowlers in one of the ODI there. ALso in the IPL he did well in SA.
Bublu Bhuyan Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I'd pick Sehwag, since the debate is about ODI cricket only.

Yes he did well in that game, but playing in Aus against Australia is entirely different. Lets hope he does well there too :)
Ashraful_Rox Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Yousuf Pathan, because he has higher strike rate than the whole Indian team put together also scoring centuries in South Africa in seaming wicket when the rest of the team failing like always. He is like the Tendulkar of the 90s now
Ultimate_Game Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 ^What an idiot... Dude his avatar is Ashraful, uses the nick "Ashraful Rocks' and idolises Afridi. What else do you expect? I'm sure as per him the greatest ever batsmen are Afridi, Razzaq and Pathan due to their high strike rates
zen Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Tendulkar I don't really read too much into ICC rankings as, if I am not wrong, they depend upon the number of games a player plays. Tendulkar has hardly played many ODIs of late I guess he is not going to feature in the top but the master blaster was the best and is the best!
Jersey #10 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Shame on the kids who voted for Kohli over Sachin... Not even Don tops the poaalll in which Sachin is one of the options There never was and never will be a better batsman than Sachin
Raghav_12 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Shame on the kids who voted for Kohli over Sachin... Not even Don tops the poaalll in which Sachin is one of the options There never was and never will be a better batsman than Sachin Fully agreed (with bold part). Nobody tops a poll if Sachin is one of the options even if it is for greatest leg-spinner of all time and greatest pace bowler of all time..:haha::haha: Frankly speaking, Sachin shouldn't have been an option in this list as he hardly plays ODI's nowadays. There is no point in comparing him with kids like Kohli or Raina..
Jersey #10 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 ^hey hey hey...Sachin wanted to be a phaaast bowler intially but then he decided to spare those records and therefore chose batting. Never discount Sachin for anything and especially when it has to do with Cricket
maniac Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Lol at 3 votes for YKP and 2 Votes for Dhoni...
gaurav92 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I am surprised Yusuf got 3 and Gambhir just got one :boffing:

Rameshraja17 Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Sachin was out of the ODI team for a while which made you to go for Kohli. But of course Kohli is consistent now a days. Still go with Sachin :-) I am sure he s gona rock his Probable final WC.
