Peak steve smith vs peak tendulkar

[Sliferxxxx]

It is unfair to say Sachin did not want to win.

Agreed.

 

[DrWolverine]

Kapil Dev once said that Sachin did injustice to his talent and wished he did not stick to Mumbai style of batting and became more like Viv.

I believe Sachin did not have the God given physical gifts like Viv and used his discipline and common sense to maximise on what he was good at

 

[OverratedSanity]

They had differing objectives and perspectives.

His job was to dominate, push the game, try to win.

Sachin's objective was scoring runs, breaking and setting records. That was his objective.

Viv was so selfless unlike selfish Sachin. :')

 

[DrWolverine]

Viv ~ Broly
Sachin ~ Goku

The former had more potential.

The latter was more hard working and way more disciplined and that’s why he ended up as greater.

He didn’t do a very good job then did he?

It's well known Viv would give away his wicket when bored. And no need to present Tendulkar as some self centered record chaser.

 

[subshakerz]

Becuse it's trying to have you cake and eat it too.

No it's not because nobody is asking to remove it from Sachins record but contextualize it. Which you seem incapable of.

Give away wicket when bored vs give away wicket after century? Which is better/worse

Latter is better.

 

[Coronis]

Latter is better.

Hobbs > Richards confirmed. Though iirc it was more of a feature of his FC exploits that I’ve heard about

I mean, I rate Hobbs higher than Viv already.

 

[honestbharani]

Awww I tried to explain it like I would to a baby and you still didn't get it.

But did you explain it in a way that Sachin Baby would get it?

 

[Thala_0710]

Pakistan or Australia for him???

Then take Bumrah

Joe root and steve Smith

Joe Root isn't top 10, probably just outside top 20 for me.
