Ricky Ponting, in his column in The Australian, rates the modern greats who will probably be playing their final World Cup.
Perhaps this tournament should be rebadged the Farewell Cup, for it also is the final crack at limited-overs cricket's ultimate prize for Lara, Tendulkar and Pollock. West Indies captain Lara and India star Tendulkar are the two best batsmen I have played against. I have rated Sachin slightly ahead because technically I thought he was a bit tighter, but Lara on his day is probably more damaging.
