Yes.Given the recent goings on in the chess world, are you suggesting Tendulkar was a cheat?

Probably true but then I wonder how him and his contemporaries would fare had they played Lillee and thommo etc with minimal protection and limitless bouncers. Anyway Sachin > Viv isn't exactly the end of the world or anything.While it is true that Sachin was never really dominant against pace like Viv was, he was pretty good against pace for a very long period over over 15 years.
Exactly.Sachin being a cheat is a proven fact
unlike David Warner who is only an alleged cheat
come on man, that is unnecessarily harsh.Yeah and purely from a chess perspective it's probably Tendulkar but that's not the question.
That's renowned justice dispenser to racists/ racist adjacents David Warner to you, thanks very much.Sachin being a cheat is a proven fact

Chris Martin only went 104 innings and had 52 not outs - better than both of them.Taking a players best season/series away to judge is the most ****ty way to critique him.
Sachin if you take his hundreds and fifties away was worse batsman then Shane Warne. Sachin went 210 innings without a 100/50 in his career Warne only 187 so Warne is better.
Imagine David Warner and Ben Stokes out on the town together. Social Justice never looked so achievableThat's renowned justice dispenser to racists/ racist adjacents David Warner to you, thanks very much.
I think Sachin would adapt, his technique was good enough and I rarely recalled him flustered by pure pace or bounce. I think he would be more troubled by Imran's late swing and Hadlee's seam.Probably true but then I wonder how him and his contemporaries would fare had they played Lillee and thommo etc with minimal protection and limitless bouncers.

If you don't see a difference between taking one year away to make a point compared to all his hundreds I dunno what to tell yaTaking a players best season/series away to judge is the most ****ty way to critique him.

I see your point but the reason people rate Viv in the first place is because of his highs. You take that away and there isnt any argument left.If you don't see a difference between taking one year away to make a point compared to all his hundreds I dunno what to tell ya
No because in reality he was still peak ATG from 77 to 81, ATVG from 82 to 88 and below par after that. If you looking at huge portions of a career it has to make sense which periods you select. His peak began in 76 so not including that in your calculations and then beginning from 77 which is mid-peak doesn't make sense.Is it easier to swallow if I just say from 1977-1991 he had ATVG statistical output, not ATG output and certainly not potentially best after Bradman output
