Who had a better technique : Sachin or Gavaskar?

Technically equally great. Tendulkar's stroke play makes him a bit superior.

Voted for Gavaskar because he didn't had any vote.

It's 2-2 now

 

[subshakerz]

Sachin because of adaptability.

 

[Burgey]

Come on. Sachin Tendulkar's technique was about as perfect as anyone is ever likely to see in a top level batsman.

Gavaskar was great in his own right, but this isn't close.

In fact, Tendulkar probably takes this over every other batsman I've ever seen play cricket. He was immaculate.

It was ugly to watch imo.

It was ugly to watch imo.

Sachin?

 

[Coronis]

Sachin?

Yup

 

[Burgey]

Each to their own I guess.

I can barely if ever recall him playing with an angled bat. Bloke batted with a barn door most of the time.

 

[Migara]

Gavaskar

Tendulkar was better because he has that air of arrogance about him

 

[DrWolverine]

Sachin arrogant?

Considering his fame, talent and stature on and off the field; he is as humble as one can get

Technically both are equal. What makes Tendulkar over Gavaskar is his adaptability, Strokeplay and Longevity. Gavaskar didn't have any technical weakness. He might have struggled with swing, but that isn't related to his technique.
Infact I have seen some technical flaws from Tendulkar since 2012 due to his career strech.

 

[ankitj]

Tendulkar was:
1. Ugly to watch
2. Arrogant

What else?

 

[ankitj]

Maybe a ladies magnate too.

 

[Coronis]

Sachin arrogant?

Considering his fame, talent and stature in and off the field; he is as humble as one can get

I don’t think his stature is something to be arrogant about. Unless he’s standing next to Gavaskar.

 

[vidiq]

It was ugly to watch imo.

Because of his arm guard?

 

[Burgey]

Technically both are equal.

No they aren't.

I am referring to his play. If a bowler hit him with a bouncer, next bouncer will disappear usually, where as Gavaskar would normally duck and let it go. He is a very down to earth man in the society (Not so Gavaskar, who behave like a prick sometimes). Don't mixup the two.

Sachin certainly had a very large sense of self as a Batsman.

Technique threads are boring, start making strokemaker threads.
