Shane Warne vs Curtly Ambrose

[subshakerz]

Someone who has prodigious amounts of output.

That's not what a prodigy is.

 

[subshakerz]

Him being the best after batsman is highly debatable and even with that, it's only batting. Cricket = batting, bowling fielding. Sobers combines all three the best then Imran ,Kallis etc. Bradman is of course incomparable. Anyway Imran>Sachin. Moving on...

Lol ok man just let it go.

 

[Coronis]

That's not what a prodigy is.

“a young person with exceptional qualities or abilities”

Doesn’t this apply to many cricketers?

Then?

It would apply to any young cricketer who makes it to their national side.

 

[Sliferxxxx]

Lol ok man just let it go.

I can't that's not how we roll...lol lol Anyway:

Prodigy: a person, especially a young one, endowed with exceptional qualities or abilities. Young Sachin did nothing extraordinary imho.

Tons in Australia, Eng and SA in first tries as a teen are exceptional. Especially in Perth and against Donald.

No that makes the term meaningless.

Mohd Amir was a prodigy IMO. Shahid Nazir was not.

If a teenager was able to make it to the national team of the country, they would be a prodigy by the country's standards wouldn't they?

 

[subshakerz]

No. Being selected as a teen is not that uncommon. If you aren't familiar with the term, it's ok.

Then explain to me what it is.

What makes Sachin a teenage prodigy that could not be said of let's say Miandad?

 

[shortpitched713]

16 year old = prodigy
18 year old = washed up uncle

For mine

wait Miandad debuted as a teen?

 

[shortpitched713]

Debuted a day before his 18th birthday.

I don't believe this

 

[Sliferxxxx]

Debuted a day before his 18th birthday.

And Miandads average never fell below 50. That's amazing.

 

[Johan]

And Miandads average never fell below 50. That's amazing.

all that, just to be a Boycott victim.

 

[akilana]

I don't see how he's exceptional. The number of tests he played is it. What else?

The fact subs likes him makes him exceptional
