Who is the best batsman ever in cricket

I love Ricky Ponting and his Style.In India i like Sachin Tendulkar.

I like Jacques Kallis (Best all rounder)and its style as well

i think mike hussy is a very good and very powerfull batsman, but i think rahul dravid is the best example for consistency , any ways i vote for mike hussy

According to me Sachin Tendulkar in present time, and of all times i feel he is Don Bradman.

i can say ricky ponting in modren cricket and i dont know much about th past ,but of now ricky is rocking in every game ,,,he is gonna reach sachin with ease with this pace ofscoring 50s and 100s i think,,, and he is undoubtedly the best in the world in playing shortarm pull and huck shots,,,,,if you dont belive watch him playing shoaibakhtar,,,he hit sixes so simply in his bowling,,,,he is one of the best in the world today.

I think Vivian Richards is the best ever batsman. His hand-eye co-ordination was awesome even though he didnt have a great technique. In current form it is Ricky Ponting.He seems to be very difficult to get out and scores lots of runs with consistency.
