Tendulkar is basically the batting equivalent of Anderson. Astonishing longevity to a high level, but not the worldy averages or the box office style of player of others with more talent.
I think Anderson is underrated on here, but is this a joke?
There has never existed a more talented cricketer (Bradman aside) than Tendulkar. The bloke was thrown into test cricket at 16 and got a 50 against 2 ATG pacers away. He was universally accepted as the finest batsman since Bradman by the time he was 30. And then he had a second peak when his contemporaries had been retired for years. Nonsensical post all around.
Not round these parts he wasn't.
Seems more like a thing in sports worldwide. With the differences in how things are run these days, the leadership aspect appears to be less important. Even though on field in cricket the captain’s tactics are important, a lot more credit goes to coaches and staff these days, perhaps rightly so.
Not sure many of those actually improved their team by captaincy skills other than performing well themselves.
Except Tendulkar averaged 58 over as many tests as Kallis/Ponting etc. Richie Benaud put him 'a level above the likes of Greg Chappell' when he picked his all time XI and so did Bradman. Faulting someone who succeeded handily against the best teams of his time for not minnow bashing enough is.. a unique take.
You’re wasting too much bait, I doubt you’ll catch anything big.
That's not even what I said. I pointed out he improved his average by minnow bashing.
Nah you really don't. Nonsense.
He’s probably the bowling equivalent of Chanderpaul. Comparing him to Tendulkar is nonsense.
from the debates on C247 you have to be trolling to discredit Tendulkar for massaging his figures against Zim/Bang then in the next sentence compare him unfavorably to Kallis.
I don't know. Probably.
This is a disingenuous rebuttal. You think this comment (and 95% of your posts these days) makes you look funny and like you have no time for nonsense, but it just makes you look like a massive dickhead.
