Friends,

Not judging by the rapidity of scoring or the total number of scores, but in technique?

Do you think technique and high scores go pari passu? Or do you think a slight bit of non-conformity makes a batsman more effective?

Can you draw parallels contrasting Tendulkar and Ponting in that regard?

Thanks

Donald Bradman was the best!

anyone would agree with me that,.Tendulkar is technique is much better than punter~

sachin has played well in almost all conditions whereas punter has suffered badly in india.

When Punter is on song his stroke play is as good if not better than Sachins' current game. They both have the ability to play original shots, picking at the faults of the bowler.
Non-conformity is a match winning skill, just look at Pieterson, l might not like his personal attitude but you must admire his ability to score off almost any ball or bowler.

the difference is as big as elephant and cat ! you know who is who !
god bless!

l am not good at comparisons, and if l say Sachin l may be accused of favoritism. Still, l put Sachin a little above Ponting for his total domination of almost all great bowlers. That Shane Warne and Akthar were put in to utter despair is a testimony. Sachin of 2008 is not the real Sachin: Ponting has always been like this, a consistent run machine minus the audacious stroke play of Sachin

Sachin is the best and has style and elegance

Tendulkar is technique is flawless and better than Pontings.

Ok l have murdered the English language and l hope l do not offend the literary acrobat Sultan of Oman.

Ponting and Tendulkar you can not be matchin',
one is Ricky the other Sachin.
Tendulkar is elegant a very good batter.
Ponting is great when it really does matter.

Both batsmen are technically effective.. but sachin look like more.. he adjust his technique according to condition(s). But ponting look like play same in every condition(aggressively).. but on his day he look play better than sachin.. but sachin is the best:D

In comparison of Ricky Ponting n Sachin Tendulkar
Ricky Ponting is better batsman because he is a match winner n tendulkar is not a match winner batsman

Okay,here is my simple answer,
Sachin beats Ponting in all aspects of the game except fielding.

Richie is assessment is fair. l think that they both are similar level players. Sachin has been there for a longer time and is a hero in a country that is yearning for heroes. Ponting is classy batsman and has scored against every opposition.

l would put Punter slightly ahead of Sachin in test matches and Sachin slightly ahead of Punter in OD l batting.

Sachin perhaps lacks stamina for long innings.
