Think that this is a loaded question. In the first instance Tendulkar is by all standards not "just" a batsman his 137 wickets show that he is best described as an "All Rounder"
So you can't compare Lara, Ponting and Tendulkar but for what it is worth:
Tendulkar is the stand out with more runs over more games but his 137 wickets make a difference
Ponting (with over 100 less games than Tendulkar) is better than Lara but no wickets
Lara is on the way out and wont add much more to his TOTAL runs (and 4 wickets)
So without a doubt if Ponting can last out another 110 games to catch up with Tendulkar he will be the BEST batsman but he will never take 137 wickets. So TENDULKAR gets the crown out of these 3.

By the way all these are the BEST.
I am an Indian so my opinion is Sachin Tendulkar.
The choices for these are very tough.
I will say why they are tough to choose who is best-
Brian Lara- He is a very aggressive player and scored the highest runs in Tests and plays well.
Sachin Tendulkar- He plays fast and very stylish batting, stylish shots etc......
Ricky Ponting- He is a very good player like Sachin and Lara, if Australia is in trouble most of the time he has helped out.
So it is very tough to choose who is the best of all the rest.

I would discount Ponting from the reckoning. Very very good, but I don't see him up there with the other two. Between Lara and Tendulkar, Tendulkar used to be better on an average , but Lara's best always surpassed that of Tendulkar. And you can never rely on Tendulkar to carry it all the way, that is more Lara/Inzamam territory :-)

They are all brilliant players. Brian Lara and Sachin may be better batsman (Not at the moment, Ricky Ponting has been firing for the last 12 months) But they have never really succeeded as captains of there country. meanwhile Ricky Ponting's record as captain is amazing. He has also been able to peform individually at the same time as captain Australia. Since he has been captaining his batting average has been higher than when he wasn't captain.
