according to me lara is the best batsman in the world..
because he is the only player have done the world record for two times... g.sobers said tat only a westindian leftarm bastman can break my record.. lara done it for two times.......... so he is the best bastman..
sachin also good batsman... but in some kind position he may not able to play at tat situation...
ponting also one of best batsman but when compared to lara ... he is not so...

Ricky Ponting is the man for sure. He has taken his team to the ultimate point. Sachin....well he is a good player but after he recovered from his injury, he could not get success at that rate. Once lost, he went down in the rankings also. In one of his interviews this time, he said that he can't play like he used to. He said that he gets tired very soon. The enthusiasm factor is still there in him but his body is not with him is what he said. Lara.....a great batsman for West Indies. Used to be a thorn for all the bowlers, but now it seems to be over. But Ponting being consistent, never looked back. Now nothing can put him back. He is the best.

Considering Team performance and the pressure level ... i think sachin is the best ...
Sachin beats them in Centuries
Sachin beats them in away averages
Sachin beats them in no. of centuries
Sachin beats them in bowling aspect
Sachin beats them in most contribution in team victory
Sachin beats them in most number of matches
Sachin beats them in most average in Draw matches
anything else
check the stats on www.Cricinfo.com on stats guru compare the players
you'll see why sachin is great and by how much
Pointing is Great, Lara is Greater and Sachin is Greatest
Dont forget his oneday contributions are far better than both of them
Sachin is purely a living legend.

in my point of view, there is no right time to judge both of three who is the best player. both of three are doing well for his own team. but if you want to get some discussions Ricky Pointing is far ahead both of them.

I think Ponting is the best player because the way he has lifted his game and his team is really incredible and he has played some match winning knocks whereas Sachin and Lara are yesteryear heroes and they have not improved their game.
