Read post not 158.. If you find time .. I've already given him the explanation
In the 70's it was Gavaskar, Lloyd and the Chappels
and in the 80's
its was Richards all the way albeit Gavaskar was also there
Speaking about careers..There are better things to do rather than calling others as idiots in an open forum.
You are not going to accept it?
Anyway what about:
"There after to show that Holding > Marshall, used testimony by other cricketers who played against them. That parameter would effectively nullify you claim that Lara is better than Sachin, given the fact almost every prominent cricketer like Warne, waugh, Akram have gone on record to say he is better than Lara.""
Quotes on Sachin by other people:
"I just get the feeling because of his mental strength that Sachin will be definitely the best player of his era and probably the best 2-3 of all time."
Greg Chappell
"Sachin is a genius. I'm a mere mortal."
Brian Lara in Outlook
"He is the greatest batsman alive"
Martin Crowe
“He is 99.5% Perfect.. I’ll pay to watch him play”
- King Richards
“If I had to bowl to Sachin I would bowl with a halmet on. He hits the ball so hard”
- Dennis Lillie
(after being defeated in the Coca-Cola Cup finals in Sharjah) "It was one of the greatest innings I have ever seen. There is no shame being beaten by such a great player, Sachin is perhaps only next to the Don''.
- Steve Waugh
"Don't bowl him bad balls, he hits the good ones for fours."
- Michael Kasprowicz
"I'll be going to bed having nightmares of Sachin just running down the wicket and belting me back over the head for six. He was unstoppable. I don't think anyone, apart from Don Bradman, is in the same class as Sachin Tendulkar. He is just an amazing player."
- Shane Warne
Today, he showed the world why he is considered the best batsman around. Some of the shots he played were simply amazing. Earlier, opposing teams used to feel that Sachin's dismissal meant they could win the game. Today, I feel that the Indian players, too, feel this way.
Wasim Akram, after game at Hobart, CUB series, 1999
Consensus is that Sir Donald Bradman was the best batsman ever to play Cricket. Sir Don did not play One-Day Cricket but if he did, he could easily be Sachin Tendulkar.
Barry Richards
Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don't know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives.
--BBC Sports, on Sachin Tendulkar.
Finally, the Don
I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. Now I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...hi compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel! in reference to Sachin Tendulkar.
