WHY do they say this?

[Howe_zat]

Yeah, while I appreciate a good bit of statistical jiggery-pokery, it's not the kind of stat you can take all that seriously. Going the other way, you could point out that at Tendulkar's "least favourite" 19 grounds, he averages 20.6.

Haha agreed. Just putting some perspective to the blind as bats 99.96 vs 57 argument, which is NIL, which is exactly what it deserves, as it is meaningless.

This notwithstanding my strongest conviction that Bradman is a conspiracy, an Ashes marketing myth.

It's 99.94, and to say an average difference of over 40 is meaningless is nothing short of ********

Yeah good one, that's the same

And even if so, Bradman still >>> Tendulkar

Agreed! All hail Andy!

Did I ever tell you Andy Ganteaume's story?

 

[Furball]

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.

No he hasn't, when he averages a single boundary away from 100 over a 52 Test spell then come back and we'll have a debate.

He avgs 105 from 56 tests

 

[Furball]

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.

Have I told you lately that I think you're a gun

Consecutively? One after the other after the other?

Or 56 Tests that you've just conveniently cherry picked to make your rather silly argument?

You wrote a piece on him not?

Harbhajan Singh is a greater Test batsman than Sachin Tendulkar.

Yes. Back to Back hundred and all..

You're free to pick and choose Don's 56 tests too
