I though Jadega did not give enough strike to Sachin when it was wise to do so. I knew we'd lose once Sachin was gone.
Greatest batsman of all time.
Sachins passion for runs and his aggresive batting in the ODI'S is amazing even at 45...Hyderabad wicket has always throws up big scores, with the ball losing life everytime it hits the deck...Its time for King Viv to announce his comeback to international cricket, with the quality of bowlers and nature of wickets,he can double all his averages in couple of years time...
20 years in cricket tomorrow.
I reckon every other government employee completing twenty years of service in the Indian Civil Services should all get a bigger recognition. Shame the cretins that drafted our constitution ain't as talented as zing or other inward looking cricket fans..
Warne, Ponting, Mcgrath, Lara, Akram, Richards and various other greats all have gone on record saying Sachin's one of the greatest batsmen ever. Bradman himself thought Sachin's style reminded him of himself.
But vijay isn't fooled, seen right through all these idiots.. vijay, you clever boy.
And all this posturing about 'King Viv' isn't fooling anyone, you were about 10 years old probably when Richards was at his peak. As a 10 year old, you'd have been even more retarded than you are now -- which takes quite some beating, to be fair.
This post sounds more like a penis enlarging pill review I was reading the other day...Did any one ever challenge Sachin wasnt one of the greatest batsman ever elaborate?

waiiiiit a minute. aren't you that bad boy player that samples fine species of women all across the globe, that you said you were?
penis enlarging indeed.
If by greatest of all time you mean arguably the best of this last generation, either to or behind Ponting.
And I hate that faggot, but his record does stack up nicely against Tendulkars.
OH wait I get it. You meant greatest ODI batsmen of all time. Fair point.

I think you mean Lara.
You're welcome.
Er, thanks?
But yes, clearly I forgot him. And I agree.
Especially because I hate Ponting. Though if we're being serious you can hardly split the three, and Ponting's still got a fair bit more cricket in him.

I'd have it Lara, Sachin and then Ponting.
And England are getting leathered.

Funnily enough 'personality-wise' goes like that too.
feck I miss Lara. And Carl Hooper too... Now that guy was one cool cat.

'feck you, i'm carl hooper'
Hooper was great to watch. . .but he's probably the biggest waste of talent, ever. I don't think I've seen many more stylish players.
Carl Hooper was at Lancs for a while.
Faced him in the nets a couple of times.
He could tweak it.

One Mark E. Waugh springs to mind.
And then there's V.V.S. Laxman. Damien Martyn perchance?
Coincidentally they're all my four favorite players, and all subscribe to both the sentiments in your post.
And Laxman and Martyn were never really that talented nor stylish. Mark Waugh was, though. He was effortless at his best.
I think Waugh, and even Laxxman could be both.
Martyn wasn't as stylish as any of them, in my mind, and I'd say he got a bit more out of his talent (once he was allowed back into the side) than either Waugh or Laxxman have.
Though I may be confusing aesthetically pleasing (to watch) with true style. Though Waugh was the king of style it has to be said, feck he made it look easy. He played like he just didn't give a shit too.

Gower had a very similar style. I reckon Inzamam looked very effortless too. Ironically, Steve was the complete opposite of his brother - Loads of grit. . .but he was still fantastic to watch nevertheless.
And Bosman has the biggest arse, ever. It's fecking epic.
On a side note, I still have two Mark Waugh posters up on my wall. I'm 23.
Winnar.
(for the record the laugh's at my revelation there)
Gower and Bosman were before my time.
And we didn't get to watch too many Pakistan matches down here, though Inzi was fat, and I'll give him credit for that.

Bosman currently plays for SA. . . I just noticed his arse as he was walking back to the pavillion. To be fair, he should be proud of it in a J Lo way. And I think he's called Bosman.
when was your time then?
Well I'm 23, and the first real cricketing memories I have are of Bevan hitting the winning runs against the W. Indies.

Well, if we're putting Ponting there then you have to consider Dravid too. Only about 350 runs behind Ponting right now. Fewer 100s but more 50s then both Ponting and Sachin.
Okay...from your post its apparent you dont rate Lara, either you're retarded or hate black cricketers...You're allowed to make the choice here.
I don't think Mark Waugh was a failure. There was a time around 86 to 90, when you get Mark Waugh out, that would mean Aussies were doomed.
He's stylish, but you have to be pretty harsh to call him a failure.
Mark Waugh made his test debut in the 91 Ashes with a century.
Between 86 to 90 he never earned a cap.
Thank you, 88 to 91, in ODI.
Ponting doesn't have that extra bit of genius to be considered in the same class of Lara or Tendulkar.
