putrevus Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 There is a reason why Sachin is not on the list. He was a steady eddy who got his scores but never really impacted any series in a big way.Inspite of being part of one of the most accomplished batting lineups for majority of career , he rarely imposed himself on a series.But he somehow has tag that he was carrying batting on his shoulders. velu and Muloghonto 1 1 Link to comment
zen Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 The Mumbai lobby only asked Sachin to target hitting 1 100 per series. Once he did that he was satisfied .... if they had asked him to instead score 500+ runs in a series, he could have got a few UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
MechEng Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 We did not play any 5 test series in the 1990s. If that Aus tour to India in 1998 or even the England tour of India in 1993 was a 5 test series, we could have seen some 500+ scores. sandsaims 1 Link to comment

Playing one more test can help others get to 500 or have more 500 as well Edited December 13, 2018 by zen velu 1 Link to comment

His peak years were 1990s, just like Viv's peak years were from late 70s to mid 80s. Even Ali Cook got those big 500+ scores during his peak years. Link to comment

So what, he played more test in 2000s than he did in 1990s, if he was not good enough to win his team matches , he should have quit and not hangon to score some meaningless records. Link to comment

Clarke Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Such a weird metric, 500+ in a series. Is Cook = Viv & better than Kallis, Chappell, Border etc ? Look at this chart for instance: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/wi/content/records/284251.html *er Zaman is the greatest odi batsman if we sort by series averages Link to comment

But Viv's 829 runs is insane, even though the bowling attack was not great, 829 runs in foreign conditions in 4 tests is crazy. But Sachin got those 446 runs in 3 tests against a high in confidence Shane Warne after the big Ashes win in 1997 and a pretty good bowler in Kasprowicz. Link to comment
