Peak steve smith vs peak tendulkar

[Sliferxxxx]

Sachin dominated atg sa attack in 2010 and did great vs Ambrose and walsh. Smith vs good in 2014 vs sa but failed massively in 18 and 22 just like sachin did in at home in 96 and 00. I would rate sachin and smith equals vs atg attacks

I respectfully disagree so let's leave it at that.

 

[Johan]

I think Viv is the best since Bradman against high class bowling.

 

[Johan]

Tendulkar destroyed and demoralized peak warne? Lara did same with peak Murali. Show me one instance of smith dominating atg bowler

context matters, I rate runs against Ashwin and Jadeja in India higher than runs against Warne anywhere but maybe England/Lanka.

I would rate runs vs Ashwin and Jadeja in India over Warne anywhere really.

maybe not Ashes 2005 Warne

 

[Sliferxxxx]

maybe not Ashes 2005 Warne

Even that Warne as well. Because Jadeja and Ashwin at home especially Ashwin were unfair at times. And they were in tandem with pressure from both ends. Something Warne obviously couldn't do.

Isn't it like the same as saying I would rate runs vs Warne higher than Harbhajan anywhere, but the 2001 BGT.......

I would say high class pace bowling, and don't think this much disputing that at this point.

Actually kinda makes sense

 

[Kirkut]

Peak Smith made batting look ridiculously easy, courtesy prodigious hand eye coordination.

Do we factor in though that the first couple years of his peak did exist in the flat era?

Did you really watched that that 2022 aus vs sa series ?

Steve Smith also was very good vs sa in 2016 series.
(Scored 48* out of 85 on a very spicy hobart pitch against the likes of prime philander, Prime Abbott and prime rabada) and also scored 31 out of 160 in 2nd innings.

In 1997 wi vs Ind series
Dravid and sachin Played with a terrible strike rates (around 40 )
And it was actually Sidhu who dominated those wi bolwers.

 

[Johan]

the 1997 Windies pitches were extremely dead and slow I think.

I'd say it's a two way race between Sobers and Viv, tho I think Sobers won their encounter as I think Trueman won his clash with Sobers while I don't think any bowler beat Viv.

Hadlee?

 

[Johan]

Hadlee?

Nah, the only series with a bunch of innings Viv smacked Hadlee and averaged 60, the New Zealand series had biased umpiring and Hadlee only got Viv once.

 

[DrWolverine]

Viv had an amazing record against ATG bowlers

But somehow ended up underperforming for his insane talent and ended up barely averaging above 50

In an old interview Kapil said Viv & Sachin were the most talented batsmen he had seen and both underperformed for their capabilities

 

[Johan]

I'm pretty sure Sachin and Viv average about the same without Sachin bashing 2000s Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, which were worse than a lot of county sides even and simply not international status, both definitely should've scored more given the type of talent they had, for reference, I think both are far more talented than post War Hutton or Jack Kallis.

 

[subshakerz]

Smith has a better peak but I would back Tendulkar vs ATG bowlers.
