Easily.
You clearly haven't followed it or are in love with fatty because he was certainly no team player before the captaincy. Doesn't mean he didn't try his best to win games but personal landmarks have always been important for him and by his attitude over the years, never gave the impression that he would sacrifice himsefl for the team's cause.Dumpstar said:I've already said Inzi is not individually as good as Tendulkar/Lara. But where do you get this Inzi being a rather selfish person before being made captain from?Being an avid Pakistani cricket fan since 1984 I would say, yes, I do follow Pakistan cricket. The other comment is that 17 of Inzi's measly 24 test centuries have resulted in Pakistan victories. I'd like to see some similar stats for Tendulkar if anyone has those.
Correction: All those players better than Tendulakar on current form by the virtue of him being injured for the good part of last 2 years.Shah786 said:

I still don't get where/why Inzi was a selfish player before his captaincy?
Your post above has specified no examples. I can only think of two world class players being thought of as 'selfish' (though that's a harsh word): Lara and Tendulkar. Inzi was never mentioned, nor demonstrated to be, such.Having watched Pakistan cricket for so long, I can unashamedly tell you Shoaib has been extremely selfish - trying to break fastest bowling records, etc, and Afridi - trying to get fastest hundred, etc. But not Inzi.
Best players of spin in the world. Ever.
That makes very little sense, if you base it on the rankings. If Kallis' is rated higher than Lara, then surely he's the best batsman, and not Lara, currently? As far as I'm aware, test batting ratings shouldn't pay attention to bowling, at all.Shah786 said:

Actually, I'm not sure why you classify Lara and Tendulkar as being selfish. I really don't know enough about Lara to comment, but Tendulkar has always been a good team player as far as I can recall. Perhaps not as good as Dravid or some of the others, but not a bad team player, by any means.Dumpstar said:I still don't get where/why Inzi was a selfish player before his captaincy?

He has been selfish in the sense that he has never given his all when it came to fielding or running, and No, that isn't because he is a fatty, he can run quite well but just can't be arsed to some times. May be I read it wrong but his attitude always gave me impression that he valued his place in the team more than a win.Dumpstar said:I still don't get where/why Inzi was a selfish player before his captaincy?

May be you would like to explain how Sachin has been selfish over the years?
I don't recall any occassion when he or someone else has stalled team interest for the sake of his milestones, while Inzy recently should have declared early on the day 5 of second test but stallled for his century.
Lara can certainly be classified as selfish given his quest to stack up runs to create world record (400) at the team's expense. Sachin too could have tried to go for 300 a couple of times but we declared in the interest of team.
Sachins the best batsman ever(barring that freak Bradman).
Sachin's rubbish.

True, Indians do play spin very well.Dubai_Devil said:

Still can't handle Murali, who isn't as good as Warne.
Maybe you didnt watch the second innings. He only got one wicket, which is rare, he usually takes most of their wickets.Dubai_Devil said:
Record wise Murli is better than Warne in every single way.. BUT there is his action, which gives him an advantage. BTW, we always thrash Warne.
He can't handle chillis n'all. Which is why he wears a fecking nappy.

lara is the best, inzi has the most time against fast bowlers........sachin is probably has the most correct technique......but then what is the perfect technique........lara gets his runs on testing pitches while sachin aint really shit outside the sub continent......so who has the better technique?.....
lara bets batsman since probably.......bradman.
lara is much better than tendulkar

UNITED_OG said:
Correct.
Wow..what a coherent analysis.UNITED_OG said:
Sachin has equally good record outside subcontinent.
no he doesnt
notice how all these indian players like laxman, ganguly, dravid and so on all have a million centuries and averages above 50 but most of them aint shit outside home
Spoony said:
but atleast dravid has a technique to play against teams outside india........tendulkar aint nothing compared to lara in my opinion
Ern said:
Glad we agree.
Actually more than half of Tendulkar's test centuries have come outside of India.UNITED_OG said:
Spoony said:
sri lanka............bangladesh.........pakistan?
Ern said:
In Zimbabwe.
Tendulkar's centuries have been made on 25 different grounds -- four at Chennai, three apiece at Colombo and Nagpur, two apiece at Ahmedabad and Sydney and once each at Bloemfontein, Bangalore, Cape Town, Colombo (Premadasa), Delhi, Dhaka, Edgbaston, Headingley, Johannesburg, Kolkata, Lucknow, Melbourne, Mohali, Multan, Mumbai (Wankhede), Old Trafford, Perth, Port-of-Spain, Trent Bridge and Wellington.
Quite a diverse lot, that, but no Zimbabwe, I'm afraid, so Spoony you're going to have to put more money in the machine and try again.
