    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    OK Miagara this is my last post on this topic - you can continue to post BS after this - but means nothing really in the larger picture. ODI bowlers in these two decades have often better strike-rates, OFTEN as the batsmen tried to take advantage of the various restrictions, better pitches...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Extremism begets extremism from me. Had some of those posters not kept repeating BS statements like "1 bil hopes" (in a country where 30% of ppl dont have two sq meals a day) and "poor batting" (despite Azhar, Sidhu, Jadeja (ODIs), Dravid, Sehwah, Yuvraj, Dhoni and a certain Ganguly (who has...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Migara make the adjustments for the Average, ER and SR for the bowlers (the way you did for IVAR to get 48 and 100) and see what you get. Len Pascoe Averaged 26 in Tests with a ER < 3 and a SR of 53 and Averaged 20 in ODIs with a ER of 4 and a SR < 30 Pascoe conceded more BUT STRUCK MUCH...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Lets take a poll on CW with yes to ppl who saw the WK outside, on, or even close to the inner circle for Shoaib and no to the rest. There will be ONE vote to yes :laugh:i.t excluding the satyams and cevnos etc. Once again, Len Pascoe Averaged 26 in Tests with a ER < 3 and a SR of 53 and...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    You cannot judge true but do you really think that you cannot judge at all. A very simple example being that the wk is right behind the wicket for spinners and other slow-medium guys; while he is further down for the rest. I would say it is safe to say that the guy has either pace or bounce or...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    My friend, my point was, which I think you did get, that SRT had the luxury, of not facing the best of his era in conditions less favorable for batting. As it is, absence of protective gear, so many batsmen protective rules, and covered pitches, had made batsmen's lives easier from the dawn of...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Maybe you saw Jeff Thomson in 83/84 :dry: Medium-pacer Mohd Akram debuted in '95/'96 and was not around in the early 90s. His pace was so terrorizing that he averaged a majestic 71 with a stupendous strike-rate of 132 in the ONLY match he played against the poor 90s England batting. He NEVER...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Sobers says so here and there is also a extract from a book iirc written by a former player that says that the WK was standing 30+ yards behind the stumps for Lillee and even more so for Thomson. One pace in bowler's language is about three yards. Marshall, that too on a comparatively less fast...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Ha from a guy who cannot even recognize Pascoe or Gilmour on sight let alone have watched them in action. Len Pascoe Averaged 26 in Tests with a ER < 3 and a SR of 53 and Averaged 20 in ODIs with a ER of 4 and a SR < 30 Gary Gilmour Averaged 26 in Tests with a ER of 3 and a SR of 49 and...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    I am NOT assuming here. I KNOW that for Thomson and for Lillee as well the WK (Rodney Marsh) used to stand 30 to 40 meters behind the stumps. I will be back with the proof later this week. I READ so. Unless you want to say that I am lying. If you watch YT vids from the 70s and early 80s till...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Sorry but you are even more pathetic. You are probably ignorant of the fact that WIKI has various ‘designations’ for editors with valid accounts and good profiles who actually are “administrators”, “rollbackers” etc. They ensure that claims are backed up and that the articles supporting them are...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Pretty romantic .... I thought SRT was an opener for most of his career. Wonder how his team was collpsing all around him and all over blah .... when even the first ball was not bowled. And that with the bats like Azhar, Dravid, Ganguly, Jadeja (ODIs), Laxman, Sehwag, Yuvraj etc around. Anyway...

    :laugh: As evidenced by these stats that I have already presented and backed up twice on Pages 30 to 32 - SRT vs Australia in Australia (McGrath and Warne both playing):laugh: Mat Runs HS Bat Av 100 1 3 3 3.00 0 SRT vs Australia in Australia (McGrath...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    The fact that SRT was struck on the helmet by Aaqib, Donald, Shaoib, Lee, Jones, Anderson etc in decent to good batting conditions also convinces me that there is NO GUARANTEE that SRT would have caused mayhem in the 70s/80s. Far from it his average and strike-rate (in ODIs esp) would have...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Comfortably. Btw Akram was NEVER timed above 90 mph. Nor McGrath. Or Pollock. Or many of the others you mentioned. Go and check Pascoe, Gilmour and Hurst on Cricinfo and see that their averages and strike-rates are superior to those of the "great ODI bowlers" you mention like Akram and McGrath.

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Assumption, assumptions, assumptions .... Is this how you are with everything in real life too. You HAVE NOT seen even ONE SECOND of the 70s/80s live (neither have I) but you are assuming, assuming, assuming. Lillee was not "superfast category"? Was he a slow-medium bowler like McGrath? The WK...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Haha. Nobody really cares what you believe and what not. If you see that on a WIKI page and still pass judgments like you believe this and not believe that and that was rubbish and this is gibberish be my guest. Rest assured however my friend, NOBODY, myself included is sitting around to get...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Disagree with that Richards faced less great bowlers. If anything he faced less great spinners. Murali, Warne, Saqlain and Kumble are probably the four best spinners ever (not sure where O'Reilly etc stand) though Qadir, Qasim and the four Indian spinners were good. However I have read MOST...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Is CW all that you are in when on the Net. Please read the WIKI page for Jeffrey Robert Thomson and you will see more than one citation for the same. I hope Your Majesty would heed at least those references on a site that is well looked after by 'admins' who are very efficient and honest. It...

    Richards v Tendulkar - ODIs

    Haha. WHEN did he face more than two of those guys together? EVEN ONE MATCH? NOPE. You have been talking about the box for a while too. IVAR never wore the box. As far as protective gear goes - only gloves and pads. Maybe you will penalize him for that now. And you are ASSUMING (BIG ASSUMPTION)...
