What is weird is he has dropped in points since the England ODI series. Doesn't make much sense to me but there it is.

More bizarre is how low Tendulkar's peak comes.

Needs dropping altogether. Can’t win the World Cup carrying a 76 year old veteran. Loved Dhoni in his prime but I hope this is serious and they’re weening him out of all sides.

I feel twenty years younger than I did last year, although I dare say losing more than two stone in weight has something to do with that

The freakish thing is his conversion rate - once he's got to a 50, he's probably more likely than anyone else (ever in ODIs) to get to that 100.
Sachin had a just better 1:2 ratio of 50s to 100s. Kohli has a better than 3:4 ratios at the moment. Sanga had a 1:4 ratio, Ponting's was closer to 1:3 ratio.
Very few are even close to the 1:2 mark, no one else is above it from the top run getters apart from Kohli (and Sachin marginally).

Agreed, but just looking at the top run getters of all time in ODI, I'm even more surprised by the fact that Chris Gayle's S/R is 85.82.

Allen batting eight seems really odd to me. Surely if you're going to pick him he should be batting at least seven. There are lots of players more suited to play as a bowling allrounder.
For context, in his last First Class game his team used eight bowlers including Jermaine Blackwood, and he wasn't one of them. 96 overs of spin between four spinners in his team, and he didn't bowl.
I know his bowling is taken a bit more seriously in limited overs cricket, and I agreed with the decision to bring him in for Bishoo, but FFS he was on a hiding to nothing in the role he's been picked in.

Might have been the consequence of a poor bowling attack.

I think Tendulkar is fine. Peak ratings can have some weirdly low cases. Look at Wasim, Warne and Donald among ODI bowlers.

I expect India to chase this down in 43 overs.
