WHY do they say this?

[gvenkat]

Can't see a problem with naming an adjective after Sachin - what will it mean though?

There is Sachinism already. I don't know what that is.. But it's there.

 

[Bun]

probably a shrewd edit tbh, though I know what you mean

Nah, dimwits them the lot who dare to even argue 33000 international runs and 99 hundreds count for something. A billion of them born and mind washed to be just stereotypical sachin tendulkar fans. what a ridiculous idea it is to even consider he is after all the best batsman in a billion or more even after 20 years? How dare one talk up his so called achievement of having faced a potential 578 different bowlers at the international level? Or having played at over 105 different international grounds and still able to adapt accordingly? (BTW 32 of those bowlers average under 27 in those matches, min qual - 10 wickets)

(FTR - Bradman faced "potentially" a total of 69 different international bowlers in his career, (only 1 of them averaging less than 27 - min qual 10 wickets), and played on a sum total of 10 grounds)

silly em fanboys...

Super Post mate.

Oh and just Tendulkar--fans trivia,

if Tendulkar played only on his favorite grounds (let's take the top 19 of them, 9 more than the sum total Bradman managed to play on his entire test career (that's almost 100% more), he'd be averaging 105 from 56 tests with 7078 runs with 33 100s and 16 50s, which means, almost every aspect of Bradman's records can be considered a subset of Sachin's career and records...

Disclaimer for the fanatics on both sides - Just for fun statistical meandering...

That's Actually a great trivia.. seriously.

Sachin Tendulkar's batting average is closer to Shane Warne and Malcolm Marshall's batting averages than Don Bradman.

 

[Ikki]

I think Marc made an excellent point pages back. Take Tendulkar's average against the minnows which is around 96 IIRC, and it still is less than Bradman's average.

Having said that, I've decided to put a few more people on my ignore list after reading through the newer pages. Save myself from the inevitable debates.

 

[Bun]

Shhhhhhhh.. Don't wake up the babies

Some test runs are more equal than the other

You see silly, it's just because Tendulkar got a chance to play more...

And oh, who are Ambrose, Walsh, Waqar, Akram, Bond, Steyn, McGrath, Warne, Muralitharan, Saqlain, Donald, Pollock, Fraser, Bishop, in front of the greats like Herity, Allen, Larwood, Voce, Wright, Bowes, White, Bell etc???

Not sure I can keep up with these mathematics.

(In seriousness, interesting stuff)

Reserve this facepalm for special occasions but have to bring it out this time.

Calm down guys, you've made your point, there's no need to be provocative about it.

TBF, the stat about favourite grounds was an interesting one. I wonder how you sort a player's stats by his favourite grounds on Statsguru.

Mate, There is no denying that Don has achieved something no one can achieve or not even close. However Tendulkar has done probably the same on a different plane. So there should be room for debate and there would be no answer to it. What grinds my gears is the summary rejection that Tendy is not even worth a debate with Don. That's just childish and ridiculous.

On it's own, It' certainly an interesting one but using it as a argument for rating Tendulkar over Bradman and saying Bradman's career is a 'sub-set' of Tendulkar's was lolworthy.

Go to player analysis menu/filter, then select "ground averages" from the "view format" area. Then sort by runs scored or batting average.

Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

Had to paste that to excel and take the top 19 (Just a random number I promise )

Yeah, that's a really silly conclusion to make.

Here's the ground-by-ground breakup BTW, figured out how to do it.

EDIT : To Howe_zat and Bun, thanks.

Statistically it almost is.. batting avg, 100s, runs. Although I do get your point. Chill, relax, read the disclaimer.
