***Official*** Tendulkar vs Ponting Thread

[GotSpin]

I can't believe this thread is still active. didn't this argument get sorted out some time ago once and for all?

over the years we've had:

sachin vs lara - which was the longest running and most legit debate of all. it is still unresolved.
then
sachin vs inzi and sachin vs s.waugh went on for brief periods. sachin emerged winner on both occasions.

even sachin vs de silva and sachin vs dravid were alive for a while but they were not real, serious debates.

thensachin vs ponting went on for close to six, seven years with ponting winning some small battles for a few solid consecuttive years. but the war is over now and , at the end of it all, sachin, once again, has come out on top.

time to start sachin vs sehwag now. But if you are not interested in itm you can always go back to the first debate in this list.

BCL vs SRT is the real match up for the crown of modern batsmanship.

Dire.

This is the funniest Ponting picture I've seen :

Sachin has the girliest voice of the three, though. A bit like Bradman.

DeusEx : If you're talking of peaks, it'd have to be Lara..

Na i was just talking about Ponting and Tendulkar. I think the old footage of Bradman makes him sound girly and high, in later footage his voice is a lot more standard.

I honestly think there is hardly anything between Tendulkar and Ponting, or Lara. All of the statistical analyses are flawed in one way or another, so you always end up with a considerable amount of error/uncertainty.

I think easily the best way of making comparisons is by observation. My summary based on watching them would be that Tendulkar overall is the better batsman (because he is more consistently good - just take a look at his batting graph). However, that being said I think if you compared both players at their peaks, Ponting would just pip Tendulkar. Ponting is a simply wonderful batsman to watch when he is in full flight and form.

Quality post.Personally,I was of the opinion that Lara<Ponting=Tendu in 07.Now it's more like Tendu slightly>Ponting slightly>Lara

Lara falling behind because he doesn't play anymore?

??? I had Lara slightly below those two even in 07.

Oooooh... how touching...

Clearly Siddle wants to be a big man by dropping the little man though.

 

[Jono]

Tbf to Siddle, he could give a gift to the poor and he'd still look like he wants to drop them. Just has one of those angry faces.

Peter Siddle last year during a Red Cross doorknock appeal.

Would give him two bob to get out of my face though

Nah.

Ye you were probably one of the many unfortunate misinformed Indians around the world who before the recent series in India. Were still questioning Ponting's credentials againts playing spin in India for some crazy reason.

 

[GIMH]

Tbf to Siddle, he is a ****.

I agree

Do I really need to explain why this post is unacceptable? Lift your game.


And it's "were", not "where" ftr.

First, I don't give a crap if you call me misinformed or whatever else but do not generalize. This is an official warning.

Second, the crazy reason was that he sucked at it. Apparantely, having to perform well before being successful only applies to Sehwag in South Africa.

[PhoenixFire]

We're*?

In the second case, but not the first I think.

 

[Matt79]

Not in that instance. It's "were".
