    Stats: Not so lonely at the top

    Perhaps someone can provide Sachin's stats but here is a piece thta cricinfo did not too long ago: The lone crusaders Through all of Bangladesh's travails in Test cricket, one player has consistently shored up their batting: Habibul Bashar's 113 in the first Test against West Indies in St...

    Stats: Not so lonely at the top

    CRAIG, the bowlers were one point, but you failed to look at the other point about not having any batting support.

    Stats: Not so lonely at the top

    I did this analysis before Lara's 400* and 120 and before Tendulkar's 241* and 194*. That, said, their ratings did not change very significantly thus. This was an argument that i got into who was better between Sachin and Lara. I am sure that many Indian/Sachin fans will have much to say but i...

    Stats: Not so lonely at the top

    ok well yeah, it seems as if our opinions coalesce. My opinion is that our era is one full of great batsman, some of whom have had an easy ride due to the lack of good bowling/bowlers. The bowlers who do perform well should be given much credit.

    Stats: Not so lonely at the top

    on the bowling side,yes.....not for batting....but it is interesting though....waht makes our current batsmen great (or at least look that way) Is it maybe that we don't have enough bowlers to go around? Just a thought.

    Stats: Not so lonely at the top

    Now, onto the batsman. Post 1990 has been descibed as the golden age of batting, and for good reason. Apart from high team scores, individuals have played brilliantly, with the Individual record being broken 3 times since 1994 and with 8 of the 19 triple centuries to have ever been scored coming...

    Stats: Not so lonely at the top

    ok....so let's take a look at the bowlers first. Unlike batting, where it is generally assumed that DG Bradman is the best to have struck the ball, there is no clear cut winner in the stump striking department. Most Wickets(x indicates current bowlers): x-1.Muralitharan-527 x-2.Warne-520...

    flair in batting

    so ANYWAY, i think that Lara still wins hands down in the department of flair, regardless of his record, previous or present.

    England needs to take Lara's advice and throw their better players lower down the order.

    **Official** 2004 Natwest Series (Eng, NZL, WI)

    i think it's unfair to say that england would be thumped. They have a good team and one bad day doesn't make a summer.
