Who is the best 3 of the modern era (TEST), after 1970's?

Question

FORGET ABOUT BRADMAN, AND ALL CRICKETERS BEFORE 1970........

Im Thinking Sachin, Lara and maybe Ponting.....but

Also viv richards?

Tendulkar is a genius, also holding records

Lara also has many records, fastest to reach 9000 and 11000 runs, greatest partnership contribution, most runs off an over. most double centuries. a series of high scores., 375,400,501,

most fours in career ( will soon be overtaken by sachin)

Viv has the fastest test century and is a tough guy.

What do you think?

Answer 1

sachin

lara

dravid

Answer 2

dravid

pointing

lara

Answer 3

Sachin is by far the best.

Lara is second.

Then its a very tight tussle between Kallis, Dravid, Ponting.

I will Say Dravid is the third best, as he has the most century partnerships, showing he has the best temperament and plays fro the side. plus he has the highest away average out of all cricketers in the world, behind only Don Bradmen.

Answer 4

Sachin,Viv Richards,Gavaskar and Lara.

I don't think Ponting is in that league.He is a very good batsman but does not have that something which the others have.

Answer 5

1. Sir Viv Richards

2. Brian Lara

3. Greg Chappell

Answer 6

IMO

Tendulkar, Richards and Ponting

Answer 7
