Tale Of Three Cars

There are three brands which come to my mind instantly when I think as to which is the best popular road gong car in the world. I always felt that each has certain traits which I associated with three batsmen who in my view are the best in the cricketing world.

Audi aka Ricky Ponting: Audi has been contantly pulling up its socks. Under a certain viewpoint it wont be wrong to term the A8 as the best car in the world. Its handsome, efficient and advanced. But to me it lacks a certain feeling of reverence. It evolved to be a great car rather than me always expecting it to be one. Ricky Ponting has been adjuged the best batsman in 2005. He plays some magnificent strokes, I dont think anyone plays the pull shot better than him. Its all in him to match the best, but he fails to ignites my senses to the same degree as say Lara.

BMW aka Brian Lara: A Beemer is good in ordinary road conditions, great when you throw up a challenge or two at it but brilliant when you push it to the absolute limit. Its indeed the ultimate driving machine. Sample what Steve Waugh had to say about BC Lara: Lara is good against ordinary bowling, great against a quality attack but is brilliant when cornered and hunted.

Mercedes Benz aka Sachin Tendulkar. Elegant, solidly engineered and the thing you want to be before or after an accident. Of late questions have been asked of it and quality issues needs to be sorted out. But it still manags to hold on to the tag of the best car in the world, though its grip is loosening. The 2006 S class may be oddly designed but those who have driven it have no doubt about the obvious. Questions have been asked about Sachin lately too, he is bettered by his competitors in certain departments but the overall package still defines batting to me.
