Although sachin has been out of form for quite some time but he still has the class of a great player. All batsmen go through a period of being out of form.\n\nI will rate BC Lara as the number one batsman because he has been more consistent against the top teams. When ever he scores runs, he scores lots of them.\nbreaking the highest indivisual total twice is really speaking of his greatness.

RAVI SHASTRY.\n\nHE TOOK 60 BALLS TO HIT HIS FIRST 6 RUNS.\n\nATLAST, INDIA LOST TO AUSSIES FOR RUNNING OUT OF BALLS.\n\n{MANJREKAR HITS THE FASTEST 50 OF THE MATCH.}

Marathon innings: Lara. \n\nTell me one marathon innings others in your list have played.\n\nTendulkar played one against Bangladesh. (248)\nHe scored 241 against Australia - his worst ever double century on a flat pitch where he refused to cover-drive. \n\nPonting: I haven't seen one longish innings yet.\n\nKallis who?\n\nPS: Rahul Dravid is one name missing from the list. He is one in recent times who has batted over 2 days a few times.

Best is Wasim Akram......\nWorst is Shoaib Akhthar.....Because when the batsmen hits him for a boundary he starts throwing the ball on their body.

NO DOUBT. Ricky Ponting.

Wouldn't be surprised if Mahendra Singh Dhoni breaks the record in the forthcoming West Indies tour.\n\nHe almost did it against Sri Lanka ( http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005-06/SL_IN_IND/SCORECARDS/SL_IND_ODI3_31OCT2005.html ) but sadly, there weren't enough runs on the board.

Brian Lara (West Indies) who has scored a total of 11904 runs in 130 test matches at an average of 53.14.\n\nSee the attached link for the top batsmen.\n\n*********************************************************************\n\nThank you so much to whoever gave me a negative vote. Could you let me know what's wrong with my answer please? The answer is correct and has a reliable source - honestly you just can't please some people.

By way of flair & fireworks : Brian Lara\nas for having the best technique and consistency: Sachin Tendulkar     And this is something that counts!!\n\nI know many will disagree with me on the sachin point but look at that man's career records & the immense pressure from 1 billion cricket crazy country men, the way he carries himself on the field; his dignity.\n    One would say that dignity has nothing to do with performance but Tendulkar, had the world at his feet for 15 long years & now his body is showing the signs  wear & tear due to 15 years of non stop cricket. He has maintained his dignity in a country that makes it's heroes only to topple them. And in this world Tendulkar has stood tall- Be it with his dignity or his 35 test centuries or 40 something ODI centuries or his 25k international runs or ANYTHING.\n                   He is by far the best batsman in world cricket now. If there's any need for proof of his greatness - recall India vs Pakistan at the World Cup'03!!!!!!
