I think this is a Language thing. Clearly you do not have as good a grasp of the English language as others because the Statement 'This player is the best on Earth' automatically implies we are talking about the current time period. Not your fault though...I guess.

ok then teach me oh scholar... is this statement right then "pujara is the best batsman on earth". well I dint say "ever" I just meant fot the past 1 and a half week... u know as we can make any1 the best in the world...

Well, i hope they keep the adelaide essence alive of the ground. I love the grass place(is their a term to define it?) for the people to sit. Hope they don't just change the whole architecture of it.

Anyway Ricky Ponting's totally LOLerific dismissal from this morning.

Ponting is finished Unfortunately. However he is definitely one of the best Batsman of all time. Top 4-5 without a doubt. We need to drop him and get Watson in at no. 3. Watson isn't even playing in the team yet so it can be assumed we will get even better. We could have a great batting lineup and team in general in time for the Ashes. I hope our form continues until then.

Let me ask you. Why do people call Messi the best on Earth and debate whether Ronaldo or Messi is The best on earth? What are they talking about there? Hmmm? Exactly, point proven.

because people actually think so. and that's when grandparents and wise people come and tell them about Ronaldinho, pele, maradonna, muller etc.otherwise most of the time it is defined to be "currently", right now or playing... by the way u really deviate from the point, I asked u if there is a problem with my previous statement and I am still waiting for an answer. considering u r Harvard or an oxford grad who can say easily pass judgement on people's English and other abilities, I don't think u must have much of a problem.

I rest my case. Good day, Sir.

what??? u really just read what u want to read n make your own understandings out of it don't u? when I say "in most of the cases it is defined as currently, playing right now" I mean they say it so... messi is the best player on the earth currenly, or federer is the best tennis player "in the open era"... wait u wont understand. again u will just take 2-3 words from the whole post and make up a completely different understanding.

And I was saying the same thing for Clarke. It was you who made the mistake of thinking I said the best ever, so just admit it.

Pujara is the new Dravid. I hope he isn't picked for the ODI team because over the years, Dravid has ruined a lot of ODI matches for India (no disrespect to him - one of the greatest Test batsman ever) but it's a different case in the ODI's. he was great in his early years but later on, any partnership involving dravid slowed india down and over the years, the team stuttered in a lot of chases due to increasing required run rate. i see Pujara doing the same if he comes to the ODI team.

He has long way to go to be compared to Dravid IMO. Yes, he is a fantastic find. Has brilliant temperament and his technique is quite sound too but i would like to see him play in Australia, SA and England once before passing that judgement. Coming to his slow game, if you saw the 2nd innings in the 1st test, he was very positive. Yes, the pressure wasn't that much considering we were chasing a small total but he was stroking the ball beautifully. He should be given a chance in ODIs too. But don't bring him any where near to T20. It will ruin his game.

We still need to see him play a few matches against tough opposition overseas before we can truly judge him...and IMO he need not even play limited overs cricket if he does well in tests,he could be the new Laxman instead...decent one day and t20 batsmen are 10 a penny,it's genuine quality in tests that we truly lack,,,
