Jack Hobbs vs Sachin Tendulkar

[Johan]

Sachin is all format great.If odi existed during Hobbs time how good would he played

Bradman would probably average 100+ in ODI, only on rain damaged wet wickets was Bradman mortalized, that won't happen for ODI most times.

Hobbs is hard to say.

 

[Fanboy375]

I know Viv will average 36 and strike rate 190-200 in t20.He would play MI at number 4

 

[subshakerz]

Hobbs...

I am just extremely skeptical to rate him better based on relying on reports of someone who we don't have video evidence of them playing and who are not statistical outlier enough to mitigate that.

Can I ask how you know that?

 

[Johan]

I have that feeling about Trumper sometimes, but Hobbs was smashing around Larwood at near 50 after years of war and illness, he was probably a God.

And yet the last 90 years we haven't had a case of cricketers doing that. Which either means Hobbs was godlike or something sketchy about those conditions and circumstances but again we don't have video footage to confirm.

Picking Hobbs is more for ceremonial reasons to give deterrence to cricket heritage than for verifiable actual quality.

actually we do have a 45 year old making hundreds on Richard Hadlee and Malcolm Marshall, and that 45 year old rates Hobbs as the greatest batter of all time, and that guy is also an English opener, and that guy is not rated very highly.

That 45 year old was not even born when Hobbs played his cricket

 

[Johan]

why does this matter? Subs said nobody in mid 40s has smashed around great pacers, one has done it, to Marshall, to Hadlee and to holding.

it's not an impossible feat.

most people here weren't born when Viv played Cricket, doesn't stop people from rating him.

 

[kyear2]

No doubt if we're rating based on greatness that not only is Hobbs better than Sachin, and behind on Bradman, but that far behind either.

If we're looking at who's better, it's Sachin for me and Hobbs drops from 2nd to 5th.

 

[Narayana]

Two very successful careers of great longevity and loads of run churning, decide

Any batsmans just can not win any poll in this indian sub , if it has an Indian batsman specially sachin tendulkar.

Even on greatness Sachin is ahead of Hobbs.

So you're saying Hobbs isn't that special since some random guy did it later.

The guy who did it was Geoffrey Boycott, and he was not just some random guy even if as far beneath Hobbs as the Earth is beneath heavens.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

This guy is better than Tendulkar lol

 

[Johan]

this guy is better than Hobbs? lol

 

[Narayana]
