Steve Smith vs Sachin Tendulkar (after 205 innings)

[sayon basak]

Why not?

He would struggle against Woakes imo.

 

[Johan]

Why not?

He has the work against Steyn but he genuinely has a lot of knocks in that timeframe that I just can't rate, some of the pitches like the Colombo in the 2010 Sri Lanka tour or Sydney 2004 are just...absurd.

 

[DrWolverine]

2003-2012 Sachin
95 Tests. 7110 runs. Avg of 49.72. 20 centuries.
That’s good. Considering his **** form in last 23 Tests.

 

[Johan]

take out Bangladesh

 

[sledger]

****ing love it when people "analyse" by essentially saying "If we discount all the times Player A scored lots of runs, their record actually isn't that good". Like wow, no ****.

 

[Narayana]

Does it really matter if Sachin was struggling when his prime was way longer and he had another prime?

So why sachin fan's are crying about kohli's poor form, he can make a comeback.

We'll see what he does in ENG.

Woakes averages 18 in England pitches, it's not like the farmers of Sachin era with 35+ career average.

I hope we won't.

That's includes his ace tour in Aus in 2007. Of course he was helped by pitches but for a post peak period this was genuinely productive.

Anyways it shouldnt be looked at this way.

It was 2003 to 2006/7 decline with injuries. 2007/8 to 2011 new peak that was ATG. Then 2011 to 2013 end career dip.

 

[capt_Luffy]

Imo it's like saying Viv was only ATG till 1981.

 

[subshakerz]

Imo it's like saying Viv was only ATG till 1981.

Actually yeah it's strange that Johan is giving this argument since he gives the opposite to support Viv.

Why does almost every single batters entered their peaks during the 2007-2011 period?

Is it because they were as good as Sachin or.....?

 

[Johan]

Viv 1976-1981 ~ Sachin 93-2002

Viv 82-88 ~ Sachin 2002-2011

Viv 89-91 ~ Sachin 2012-2013

for me

 

[capt_Luffy]

Viv 1976-1981 ~ Sachin 93-2002

Viv 82-88 ~ Sachin 2002-2011

Viv 89-91 ~ Sachin 2012-2013

for me

Agree except lengths

 

[Johan]

Agree except lengths

Prime Viv's runs are more quality (I count WSC) but Sachin's volume is more, go with whatever you want.

 

[h_hurricane]

We all know now that Sachin has declined to work 70 hours a week and a corporate baron has developed an immense dislike for him.

 

[Johan]

Dominick Cork was alright

 

[Narayana]

Agree except lengths

Kohli 2014-19 ~ sachin' 1989-2002
Kohli's 2020-25 > sachin' 2022 dec - 2007.

Till now Kohli is better, Just one peak is needed to destroy the legacy of Sachin.

Between after 205 innings sachin Tendulkar's AVG is 47. 93 without those 3 highway death of test cricket knocks ,

Just little bit difference ,

 

[Narayana]

Immense worshipping for 27. 7 AVG across 5 years.
