Brian Lara vs Ricky Ponting (against pace bowling)

[Johan]

It's not. But of COURSE, Root isn't done yet. Who knows where his career will end up.

Yeah who knows where he goes from here, big series in Australia would be the starting point to take yourself to another level.

 

[Coronis]

I honestly didn't realise their rate of 50s/100s was even remotely that close. Obviously, Sachin playing for much longer and doing better overseas tips things decisively in his favor.

For reference if both had Bradman length careers they’d have roughly 12/17 and 12/16 respectively.

 

[Coronis]

What's so so weird is how much he struggled vs India even while playing them mostly at home. 1994 fail. 1997 very good. 2002 fail but I'll excuse 2002 because he was coming back from breaking his elbow. 2006 fail. All this while crabby Shiv was making runs vs them.

We can learn much from the crabs.

Lara had the greatest series any batter ever had against Australia imo, even Sachin never reached the height of that series.

Which series? I want to see that stats,

 

[Johan]

Which series? I want to see that stats,

1999 Australia series, 7 innings, 546 runs @ 91 avg, three hundreds, all on bowling friendly pitches and the 153* is perhaps the best inning ever.

This is better than his sl series?

 

[DrWolverine]

Best series against Aus?
Hammond’s 905 runs in 9 innings deserves a mention

 

[Johan]

This is better than his sl series?

He made more runs in SL series but I rate the Australia one higher because he singlehandedly won West Indies two games against the Invincible Australia.

Sri Lanka one is also absurd, 688 runs in 6 innings with three tons and at an average of 116 against Prime Murali on genuine rank turners when no other Windies batter was making anything.

 

[subshakerz]

This is better than his sl series?

Yes. Three of the best tons in his career in three tests

Not just 3 of his best, arguably the BEST ever and another in the top 50 inarguably.

Also both Sachin and him were not very good vs NZ whose bowling was below Eng

 

[Coronis]

Why black and white?
Sachin 1st century in Eng as a teenager available as a Colorful vedio

I’m not sure if this is racist or just stupidity.

it's just a little poor camera quality bro, and there is colour, the pitch/day was just greyish
