Who is te greatest batsman in the world at present Ricky Ponting or Mohammad Yousuf?

Answer 1

M Runs Avg SR 100s 50s
Ponting (Tests) 106904859.52 58.97 32 35
Yousuf (Tests) 73 6402 56.6552.55 23 26

Not much diff...when it comes to Average..which matters the most..
M Runs Avg SR 100s 50s
Ponting (ODIs) 2619411 41.6479.25 20 55
Yousuf(ODIs) 226 7580 41.1974.07 11 51

again...averages are same...just look at Strike rate ...it just proves that yousuf is a bit..but not much slower...
both have produced numerous match winning innings...but keep that in mind..when ponting plays at number 5...he knows that tail enders could manage even 60-70 runs..but pakistani tail enders just cant produce such amount of runs..
plus..its all about dependncy and pressure...
yousuf always plays under-pressure...
1.incontistent all rounders after him..like abdul razzaq
2.pathetic tail enders like..umar gul,mohd asif,rana naveed,dinesh kineria etc
3.australian teams dont depend on ONLY ponting..but pakistani team realy do on yousuf and inzi..
so to produce runs at such average is not an easy task..ofcourse...
ponting is more consistent than yousuf...
but yousuf is more elegant to watch as a player
both are backbone of their respective teams

both of them deserve respect.

Answer 2

No doubt about this question, Ricky Ponting is way better than Mohammed Yousuf.

1. Ponting scored 33 tons compared to Yousuf's 9.
2. Ponting is seen as more aggressive in strike rate terms in both ODIs and Tests.

Answer 3

Mohammad Yousuf is the greatest batsman in the world at present particularly this year he broke the record of vivian richard of scoring most runs in calendar years of 1710 years and make a new record of 1788 runs. he also broke the record of 7 centuries in a row by making 9 centuries in a row. he is the best at this time.

Answer 4

Yousuf's game is too one dimensional, he's only good at tests. Sure he is good at ODIs, but he isnt up there in the top 10.

Punter Absolutely owns Yousuf in both forms of the game, Yeah Yousuf may have of broken the record blah blah, but that is only one year, Ponting has been in form for years.

But who cares, they're both crap.... Go the black caps!

Answer 5

i think ricky ponting . because he has 33centuries under his belt. and yousuf 9 . and ricky is fast striker of the ball in oneday plus test where he can take his team to 400plus in a day for test

Answer 6

Ricky Ponting
in comparsion to any body

Answer 7

properly, you have asked an somewhat very complicated question as atleast 3 of those six are matchless gamers. Lara, Ponting and Yousuf stay legends of cricket. yet as quickly as I could choose one out of them i visit decide for Brian Charles Lara. His means to single handedly wreck any bowling attack in the worldwide and his uncanny knack of scoring runs on a wicket the place different masters of the sport might fail makes him distinctive and uncomparable. regrettably Lara performed for West Indies whilst Caribbean cricket replaced into consistently on the fall, for motives in any know, in any different case his information could have been far extra constructive.

Answer 8

On current form, definitely they both are right on top, but they both are playing at home, the true test for Muhammed will be in the away series against S.A, as for Ricky they only play at home until the WC, so he will finish on top of the rankings, Personally I think Muhammed is the better of the two, but very marginally

Answer 9
