With the rise of a monopoly on global cricket I stopped watching, following most cricket, just hanged on for the test matches. After this I most likely will stop following cricket, it hurts and pains alot cuz I personally earmarked...
I remembered seeing him debut against SA, there was much hype his first class average was something to behold 60 odd and he didnt dissapoint the way he handles Steyn and co.
Always expected him to achieve the highest at international level, a great talent gone too soon.
But thats life for you...
Yes I can and I chose to! Using stats and other tools I can safely say that Sunil Gavaskar is a better batsman then Tendulkar because he is the only batsman of his era to counteract the legendary WI four prone pace attacks with relative ease!
Good to see we're pretty much on the same page. I however don't see an issue with comparing players of different eras whilst I agree the game and conditions have evolved over the decades comparisons must be made in order to evaluate an individuals contribution to the game. As with other sports...
Thanks.
Let me clear it up for you. Tendulkar was a good batsman in world cricket but a great batsman of India, he is certainly a legend of the game, as much as I hate to admit it!
All I am saying is that he played many matches to accumulate those runs/centuries, yes he was a good batsman and one of the greatest India have ever produced but saying that he is better than Lara, Ponting, Weeks, Pollock, Hutton or even Sobers or Bradman is just plain ludicrous and hence he is...
I agree he is a legend but not as great a batsman as he is portrayed to be. Hate such a strong word but yes forgetting the 'hate' and 'jealousy' the proof is in the pudding he amassed all those runs and centuries simply because of his mediocre talent and lenghtly career. Again he couldnt even...
Its not a matter of gossiping and concentrating on negatives only, rather we should look at both the negative and positive side of a player as is with every individual we deal with in life.
I would advise that you have a look at the video I posted on the ball tampering issue before making any...
Had Brian Lara or Sobers or Bradman or Hutton or or or had played that amount of tests they would have exceeded his records and throw in a triple century also!
Will add a video of him tampering with the ball in South Africa. Tendulkar is overated in his own team Dravid and Laxman were far better batsmen than he was. Tendulkar is the most succesful brand in cricket designed and advertised to fool Indians and other funatics to shed their money to him and...
The Indians have stated that they stand to lose over 200mil in an article I read. 41mil in nowhere affects the powerful financial BCCI.
Who are the BCCI to dictate how West Indies cricket is managed? Why do we have the ICC? Last I check the caribbean was not a ward of the Indian empire!
What...
Untouchables_666 endorses the above statements fully.
Indians are the biggest hypocrites in history. They bash the WICB when its the WI players who left the tour midway, the players are safe to play in the IPL.
Nice article, the Indians within the last decade have constantly been attacking the other teams, their administration is running things so that gives them ammunition it seems. If the games is without India it will be a peaceful loving gentleman's game as we all knew it to be before the Indian's...
