Kaushik Bhattacharya true , in a long career of his these would have impressed him the most

😀😀😀

@Suri no problem from my end, but he is entitled to his own opinion. If people want to disagree they can, but don't say it in a way that criticizes Ponting

@Suri u are stupid

@Suri read the title without bitching "pomting's"

look at shots by lara.. total domination... the greatest test batsman ever .. 🙌

ma chod di aus ki.... wt a sound.... sorry for bad language but shot was awesome

@@factspk373 joke😂....sachin played the most beautiful and elegant shots so shut up h

Brian Lara's 226 was dominating & made with a strike rate of 75 with his team was collapsing around him again.

Blue Gear :- Sehwag 195 was the most dominating innings when team was collapsing with strike rate of 80. Sehwag both triple centuries was in winning cause Lara in drew cause when other team scored more than 500 runs, it was always like Lara scored 200 runs but other team always scored more than 500 runs

@@BlueGearReviews vvs laxmans 281 is the greatest test innings ever played, he singlehandedly scored enough runs to secure the win, and in that innings he played every shot in the book to perfection

4thEspada You’re only saying that cause you’re Indian

@@deeppatel7496 oh please... Don't underestimate Lara's 213 and 153n.o. It's Not just showing up to bat! [Like other players] I repeat- it is not just showing up to bat! The pressure on him during those Games was tremendous- Whitewash by SouthAfrica, verge of being Fired for good by WICB, all out for 51 in the 1st Test in Trinidad (which was shameful & on all newspapers frontpage in trinidad & Caribbean), with a weakened inconsistent side and a Hostile Jamaica crowd initially! His 213 innings was Better than his 153 n.o. due to the immense Pressure he faced! No other player had to deal with all that baggage and produce that level of magic Lara did. This shows how great he was as a Test Batsman- Test cricket being the Superior format! It is Not better than Lara's innings!

Alister cook 😠😠

That's Ponting I guess.

Pietersen Clarke are not all time greats

@Manas Chakraborty thats to with consistency.. windies went to sri lanka when sri lanka was at peak.. murali destroyed entire windies line for clean sweep (3-0) but this guy who struggled in India stood like a super man scored 600 plus runs -When he was on top...! that is why he openly admitted he admired sachin for his better consistency!

Imagine he reach 200 an the team score is 300 something

@Manas Chakraborty .. look at shots by lara.. total domination... the greatest test batsman ever .. 🙌

Manas Chakraborty - he did not play a lot in India. In fact, I remember only one series against India in India. He scored century against India - strangely he played not so well against NZ and India. Maybe he got bored :)

Lara... What a player! Absolute legend.

Respect your opinion

adam gilchrist innings 149 the best along with sir don bradman vvs laxman 281and lara 153 fourth innings match wining and in his second test of his carrier hits like agree with me

lol theres literally 5 other indian batsman better then australias best batsman, aussies really think there that good, its hilarious

"OBVIOUSLY" not the greatest test batsman ever. Not by stats, nor by class. Although, he sure is one of the greatest.

@@balancebreaker6885 then u may have not yet returned to consciousness after drinking Brian lara was the only tough, patience, could play very very long time he was a perfect test batsmen to play the cricket, and record of 400 not out who knows till where he would had stopped and his 500+ in 1st class cricket is till now remained unbroken and don't know will it be ever broken, I don't think so u r just a kid

that was in india thats why he didnt men

@@salehamin7000 he scored it in Adelaide that's in Australia not india

Or maybe just maybe there were better players and better innings. Jammy was great . There were better players who played in his time . Simple.

It is actually of greater importance than sachin’s

Agreed. Highly impactful.

The Magic of Lara

Yaa great ever

However, the attitude of English cricket in general is the worst. Infamous for its bullying

@Kunal Puthran he wouldn't have played for proteas, when he left south africa his career was going nowhere. England has 18 first class teams (plus the universities) so much more opportunity.

He's still a legend, his career isn't very long but very impactful. Won Ashes in Australia, test series win in India, 2010 T20 worldcup and that historic Ashes win at home in 2005. He has had an illustrious career.

@@samb8744 ww3f44

Sandeep Rawat He played for over ten years, that’s pretty long dude

Adam Gilchrist was a beast of a Batsman. Tearing the opposition apart from the get - go in shorter formats and the holding the Bastion in the Test matches. And boy, how well did he do it. Matthew Hayden was that big, burly guy who was supposed to scare you but Adam Gilchrist would put any bowling unit to sword.

That innings maybe is special in terms of the amount of runs he scored but it was against the worst overseas Indian attack in about 2 decades. Triple centuries are special no matter what.

Against poor attack

It was not in Australia bro ... His list is about those knocks which were played on Australian soil

I agree

@@carncats07 match winning in Australia by a visiting team? No..aren't much. Ponting doesn't like to remember that game so he neglects David's innings as well

@@rahulraveendran4543 Just accept Ponting doesn't rate it in his top 5. I don't. It was Agarkar's 6 wickets in the 2nd innings that won India the test match.

@@carncats07 lol 300 runs scored by that man in that test match especially in second innings where he kept innings going despite losing wickets. Not to mention the catches. Oh wasn't he Mom as well lol.

Shut up you are an Indian

@@manpreetmatharucomic whether they played or not it does not mean it was not a great knock tomorrow you wil say virat Kohli and Steve smith are not great batsman because they didn't face lee, warne,Murali , by the both were injured prior to the match

How about a shocker of a decision that could have shut the shutters for Aussies and the game was for Pak to pocket.Handsome memory but such a pity how it was as it turned out.Gilly played good though

Sachin Tendulkar is best bestman in all world

I think the reason Tendulkar is slightly ahead of Lara is because of all the pressure he had. I mean Tendulkar got three MOM awards against Pakistan in 5 world cups and smashed Wasim, Waqar and Akthar. Plus, Tendulkar made India world champions with his performance as well. People forget how much pressure Tendulkar had to win every single game. Lara had no such pressure and that's why he could play freely. In 2003, Tendulkar failed in only one innings due to the formidable total in the final and India lost. Had Akthar got Tendulkar early India would have lost that game as well. If Tendulkar didn't have to win every game on his own he could have remained a swashbuckler, but he always batted with maturity. That's why he is ahead of Lara. Lara played cricket, Tendulkar carried the hopes of a nation and came out on top a lot. And people conveniently forget Windies had Walsh and Ambrose and then other quickies though not top grade but still better than Indian bowlers Tendulkar played alongside.

Lara is a bit overrated, failed in world cups

Sachin literaaly has better stats than Lara in both formats.

Not single handedly. Agarkar's spell of 6-41 sprouted a chance of victory from a possible dull draw. Dravid of course played the anchor, and he was ably supported by Laxman (178) in 1st innings; however Australia lacked the services of its best bowlers, viz. Mcgrath, Warne, Lee in that game; hence it is overlooked among the best knocks in Australia. Even though, it can certainly be said that it was better than Sachin's knock of 241 at SCG (maybe not technically) given the impact it had on the outcome of the game.

It’s Ricky’s opinion it doesn’t have to be 100% correct by ur standards

the aussies will never appreciate any other indian batsman except sachin, there have been so many other indian batsman who have dominated australia but they act like they dont exist, like how could u not include the greatest test innings ever played, VVS laxmans 281

@ШИРИШ Yes his batting technique especially in test is best ever I have seen till date.

@@umangvarshney1 I think you forgot Dravids second innings knock of 70 odd runs in that match. He deserved to be called single handedly won the match.
