Sir Sachin Tendulkar - The Greatest Cricketer Ever

Quote:

Tendulkar only played five tests yet hammered three hundreds and a half century, averaging over 80 in those twelve golden months

Hmm...when he was in peak form, he played only 5 tests. Blame BCCI. Andha varusham innum 10 test veLayaadi irundhaa, maybe another 6-7 centuries and another 1000 runs might have been in his kitty. Ricky Ponting has the unfair advantage of a professional board and a system which maximises his chances of scoring. If Ricky had been in India, 2001-la Bhajji kitta struggle aanappOve drop paNNi iruppanga. Apram, he would have been in and out of the team, and barely reached 9000 runs. Luckily, he was born in Australia

Well said Plum. Ponting's average in India is a testimony to that fact. IMO, Border-Gavaskar trophy has witnessed great test cricket compared to Ashes(with the only exception being 2005 ashes ofcourse) since its inception in 1997-98 one-off Bangalore test. But sadly BCCI has other ideas.

1998 is the year for sachin and it has been heavily discussed before.

9 ODI Centuries - 7 fifties - 1894 runs at a strike rate of 102.15. He holds the record for the most number of sixes hit in a calendar year as well.

Why the Aussies fear Sachin - Interesting Stat
This will prove to all the sachin critics why Sachin is the best. I hope this shuts them up for good.

All throughout the last 2 decades or so, the australians have been hailed as world champions and have been credited with dominating the game as a team. Now just as the australian team was hailed as great team, in the other part of the world a little man named Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar was hailed as the best cricketer the game has ever seen following Sir Don Bradman. Words need to be created to describe this guy, who by far has revolutionized the game with his play. But still there are people who always criticise him for no reason.

I have always wondered why the Australian players always take a swipe at sachin whenever possible and try to degrade him at the first opportunity they get. Even people like John Buchanan who never cemented their place even in First Class Cricket(playing just 8 matches in his whole career with just 1 fifty) have started commenting about Sachin's ability, when great experts around the world think twice before they say anything about him just to make sure they dont say less about him.

Hence i went tweaking the Statsguru and found why the aussies fear and always hated sachin.

I pitted Rest of the World Vs Australia and looked at the batting record.

Here is what i found

In the combined Version(Test + ODI), Sachin Tops the batting list as the highest scoring batsman around the world against Australia.

In the 89 matches he has played against the Australians he has scored 5478 runs @ 50.72 with 18 100's & 25 50's.

He is the only player to have scored 5000+ runs against Australia and he also leads the list of maximum centuries by individual players against Australia.

If we split Test & ODI Stats separately we get this

Test - Sachin is in 6th place with 2748 runs @ 56.08 from 29 matches with 10 100's and 11 50's. Jack Hobbs leads this list with 3860 runs @ 54.36 from 41 matches with 13 100's and 16 50's. The only player to have played during sachin’s era who is on top(not for long ) is Brian Lara who is 4th with 2856 runs @ 51 from 31 matches with 9 100’s and 11 50’s.

ODI – Well, Sachin is considered the best ODI batsmen in the world and he tops almost every batting record in the record books when it comes to ODI, and this one is also not an exception. Sachin tops this list also with 2730 runs from 60 matches @ 46.27 with 8 100’s and 14 50’s. He also leads the maximum centuries list against Australia by an individual player.


CONCLUSION:

SACHIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A THORN IN THE AUSTRALIAN FLESH AND THEY NEVER FIGURED HOW TO TACKLE HIM. HE NEVER SPEAKS BUT ANSWERS WITH HIS BAT. SINCE THE AUSTRALIANS ARE UNABLE TO REPLY WITH THE BALL THEY RESORT TO SUCH STUPID TATICS BY SHOOTING THE MOUTH OFF. POOR AUSSIES, SUCH A SORE LOSERS.

TO SACHIN'S CRITICS

I HAVE A SIMPLE QUESTION TO YOU. JUST ANSWER IT LOGICALLY.

IF AUSTRALIA IS THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD, THEN ANYBODY WHO PERFORMS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL AGAINST THEM HAS TO BE THE BEST OF THE BEST. THEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU ALWAYS RAISE A QUESTION MARK OVER SACHIN'S ABILITY? I HOPE THIS WILL SHUT YOU FOR ONCE AND ALL. SACHIN IS ALWAYS THE BEST.

RIP SORE LOSERS.

Daniel Radcliffe gets candid about life as Harry Potter, being a fan of Sachin Tendulkar and life ahead...

Who is your favourite Indian cricketer?

I am a huge fan of Sachin Tendulkar; he’s fantastic. He has always been my idol, and on my 18th birthday, I got his autograph. I showed it to Rupert (Grint) and Emma (Watson) and made them so jealous. That was the best birthday gift — a piece of paper immortalised by the words: SACHIN TENDULKAR.
