We can parse Tendulkar's series similar ways rather than saying 'flat era'.
It is associated with aging but regardless the point is it is a lasting physical condition, not an external temporary injury that we give more allowance for.
No without Bangladesh, Sachin still averages 61 in his second peak late 2007 to 2011, quite a distance from Viv.
Ok but Sachin at least achieved a relatively long streak of consistent dominating form in his late 30s, Viv did not.
doubt you can call Sydney wicket or the Multan wicket anything but a road
the surgery made Viv's eye issues smaller allowing him to bounce back
ok, I always said Sachin wins...on the account of longetivity IE extended brilliance
That isn't his peak, it starts around ends 2007 and ends with SA tour early 2011, then the WC 2011 after which he lost his mojo.Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPNcricinfo.com

For whatever reason you seem to want to downplay Tendulkar hitting a second peak.
You mean like how naturally as people age they’ve spent more overall time exposed to the ultra violet rays of the sun?
Yeah probably because I don't think it's that impressive
that's very dependent on where you live and your lifestyle, get less sunlight/be less exposed to elements and lower chances of getting it, it isn't just age dependent.
You mean like all other cricketers who would spend their days in the sun lol. And btw, there is no actual consensus on the actual cause of pterygium. Hell its claimed dust is also a factor
Yeah but certain places are cloudy and certain places just have rougher environments, I doubt being exposed to an English afternoon is as bad for your body as being exposed to an Indian one in June (@capt_Luffy confirm or deny). Yeah the second line is why I said "elements", regardless seems environmental and external.
Maybe he should’ve worn a helmet and helped protect his eyes
lmaoMaybe he should’ve worn a helmet and helped protect his eyes
Yes, the famously non-mythologized cricketer Viv Richards lmao
his myth died probably 10 years ago, he might as well be a meme currently.
Do you consider any batting phase of a bat impressive 2000 to 2015?
Sanga’s career is not impressive
By ATG standards? well, probably not outside of runs against McWarne, Murali or in/against South Africa, very case by case thing tho
So there is no bat in that period you consider to have a top quality streak?
I don't even really rate Ponting's peak among elite ATGs dude
Comeon Now!!! Even I won't stoop so low. 00s were flat, but I think it's sometime overstated a bit as well when people act no runs there counts. In that timeframe SRT has an absolutely top tier Saffa tour against peak Steyn, in sporting wickets. 60s WI were flatter.
Sounds like you have a pretty black/white view of these things lacking nuance. You can still rate a peak highly even if it's in a batting era rather than dismiss it entirely
