Sachin Tendulkar v Virat Kohli - who is better ODI batsman?

It is definetely way ahead.

 

People make fair arguments of uncovered pitches or helmets for previous eras,but obviously  most of  of us have only seen the quality of cricket through grainy YouTube videos.

 

however from 90s onwards ,since coverage has increased and a lot more visual data is available, cricket has definetely evolved in the favor of batsman which makes the guys especially the names mentioned who have evolved across eras vastly superior.

Grandstanding, arguable and subjective. Agree to disagree.

when did he actually dominate the two Ws? Can you explain a bit?

Plenty of times.

1. 52* from 40 balls vs Wasim, Waqar, Aaqib & Immy  in 91 : before Waqar's injuries when he was blazing fast & peak Akram. In an era where 250 was a defendable score for even Indian dibbly-dobby bowlers.

 

2. 49 off 38 balls against the same opposition in 91.

 

3. 54* in 62 balls (strike rate : 87+, India's overall strike rate: 72, India's strike rate minus Tendy: 68) vs Imran, Wasim, Aaqib in 92 

 

4. 73 in 64 balls vs Wasim & Aaqib in 94

 

5. 100 off 111 balls vs Waqar, Aaqib + 2 mushies in 96

 

6. 118 off 140 vs Waqar, Aaqib and Saqlain in 96

 

7. 89* off 89 vs Wasim, Waqar , Azhar Mehmoud and Saqlain in 96.

 

8. 93 off 108 vs Wasim, Waqar, Shoaib , Razzaq & Saqlain in 2000.

 

 

Infact, except for Lara, no-one comes even close to Sachin in the # of times he's absoutely dominated Wasim, Waqar, Saqlain, etc.

He is talking about B and H and CB series and the grounds in terms of boundary length were bigger. They had fences and not ropes that were brought in which decreases the length of the boundary. Please watch highlights of these games.

 

Not sure of the ones from 2000 onwards but in the 90s clearling these grounds was a huge challenge.

These kids did not watch cricket till the late 90s/early 2000s, so they have no idea.

B&H grounds were a nightmare to field around the boundary-line, predominantly because of lack of ropes and solid fencing around the boundary meant sliding stops were a no-go most of the time. There are instances of players screwing up their shoulders and ankles trying to put in a dive and going crashing into the fence on those grounds.

 

There were hardly any sixes on those grounds and you needed monster power like Viv or Greenidge to hit a flat six on those grounds...usually arial shots were all one/two bounce fours.

I personally like ODIs were a team scores 250 odd and the other team builds innings and the game goes down to the wire.

 

However these new odi rules take such games out of the equation.

 

Add to that every game being a D/n brings in the dew factor as well.

 

That is why odi cricket has become too one dimensional ,that is why there is a reason for people who saw both eras  rating Sachin, Lara and Ponting over the likes of Kohli,Rohit and ABDV.

 

Sure Guys like Kohli,ABDV and Rohit standout for some crazy accomplishments that puts them over the peers which even brings them in the debate.

 

As a guy who saw both eras it is a no contest. Sachin ,Lara etc are way ahead 

Indeed. 100% agreed. This is why 90s was the golden age of ODI cricket, because pitches, bowling quality, etc. made it so that 250 was a defendable score for almost any side and only a blistering batting performance overcame such a target most of the time.

There was room for contest between bat and ball - a 20 off of 15 start did not mean you were going to win, as wickets would fall pretty quick, sides could work around one bowler having a monster game, give him figures of 10-2-28-1 and still be in the hunt, etc.

Kohli bats in such an easy era for ODIs, its even a joke to compare his numbers to that of Tendulkar, much less Viv ( who i think is the most dominant batsman in ODIs, ever, with Tendy a close second).

 

These kids here think Kohli is comparable to Viv - a guy who averaged nearly 50 in ODIs with a strike rate of 90+, which even TODAY is that of a blazing batsman, in eras of 300 scores being routine, while Viv did it in an era where even great ODI batsmen had strike rates of 66-72. 

To compare, it'd be like if Kohli had a strike rate of 150, while facing far greater bowlers than he does today. 

 

Kohli is king of the easy scoring era, with players like ABDV quite hot on his heels. 

Viv and Tendulkar were kings of dominating in an era where it was far harder to score runs quickly, with nobody comparable that has the same strike rate + average as them.

so boundaries were far easier to hit as fielding standards were poor ? ok. so added handicap to current batsmen  ok. so reduce .05 % of average from batsmen at that time ok...cool.

Not at all. Boundaries were much harder to hit, because natural strong runners had a much better chance of catching up to the balls. Hence those days, 3 runs without any fielding mishap was routine on those grounds. 

I was specifically talking about the dangers back then to slide along and stop the ball right before it hit the fences. This was a risk, but due to the size of the grounds, much rarer things.

brilliant compilation.  That 93 came off 102 balls only I think. And all his 89+ namely 89*,93,98 came in chasing  which required 5+ runs rates. That makes these even more remarkable  to add to 'the 2Ws  playing in all 3 of these & Akhtar in all but one.And these 3 inns have a combined  100+ str: rate too!!!!! . And  all these came in generally cool swinging conditions too.

SRT averages 36 in 24 matches that involved Wasim Akram with 0 100s.  Waqar had past his best after his back injury around 94, had lost the pace which was his strength and dependent mostly on his new ball swinging skills which he later learnt.  Even Ajay Jadeja easily thrashed him in 1996 WC.  i wont include spinners in this debate as we all know Indians  have been the best players of spin.

so basically what you seems to say is that  it we take each and every one of batting factors, Sachin should come out on top in each and every one of these factors when pitted against all his contemporary batsmen....isn't it???If  that is the criteria, then you can think what ever you like.

Irrelevant. You asked me when did Sachin dominate the two Ws, i gave you all the relevant examples. Waqar losing his pace in 94 made him a significantly lesser test bowler, in ODIs, he was still worldclass till the very end. 

[Rasgulla]

Rayudu can now be compared with sachin at this point because of similar average.  Virat's level is something else. 

[putrevus]

Sanjay you moron,scoring hundreds like Kohli in odis is not easy, if it was easy everybody would have done.

 

Kohli is 100 times better odi player than Sachin ever was in his career.

We won First ever series in Aus with virat. Sachin could never do that. He got Dhoni embarrassed with whitewashes as well. What about Tests ? Looks like he is 10 x better even in tests to me.

Tests he has work to do but Odis even if Kohli does not play one more game, he is far greater than Sachin ever was in odis.

Work in what way ? 

 

He didn't do great in England but in second tour,  he was player of the series. 

 

 

India - Virat 64 vs Tandu 54

 

Let's check averages in SENA

 

RSA - Virat  56 vs tandu 46

Aus - Virat   55 vs tandu 53

Nz -   Virat 71 vs tandu 50

Eng -  Virat 1 MOS vs Tandu 0 MOS 

 

What exactly does ViRAT need to do ???

25 vs 51 is big difference. Kohli needs to play more matches.Kohli after 77 tests is far better test batsman than Tendulkar was after 77 tests.

Wait what ? Who cares about 100s when he averages more than sachin in 4/5 countries listed above. 

 

If I have to go by your logic. How many matches did it take for sachin to score his first 100 ? 

[Real McCoy]

Virat is the better ODI bat. Virat has more match winning innings and likes the pressure when the chase is on. Sachin is the most talented but crumbles under pressure. Virat trusts his teammates to do the job of putting together partnerships. Sachin felt he was the best batsmen of the world and didn't put a lot of trust in his teammates.

 

This is seen in their captaincy styles. Virat wins the toss in 3 tests in Aus this series, knew his batting is not upto scratch but still opts to bat first in typical Aussie wickets which had some grass on it. Sachin who was captain during our 1999-00 tour won the toss in Melbourne and fielded first. That was a typical Melbourne wicket which has a tinge of grass on it but still was a bat first wicket. He didn't bank on his bowlers to bowl out Aussies in a session. More importantly, he didn't trust his batsmen to score runs on that wicket. He chose the negative option of fielding first because he didnt want to bat on a slightly greenish wicket. In that tour, Sydney had more grass on the wicket than Melbourne.

what are you talking?? Kohli is far greater odi player because he averages 60 vs 44 and he scores 100s with ridiculous ease.

 

Sachin the test player was very good, his peak average was 59 which Kohli is yet to reach.I will take Kohli over Sachin in tests too but he cannot go down as better test player if he quits today.Odis it is a different story Sachin is no match to Kohli.

 

People come up with all nonsensical theories on how Sachin faced better attacks or played on more bowler friendly tracks in odis , that is all nonsense, Kohli has done more on spicy pitches than Sachin ever could do in odis.

 

Only thing left for Kohli is having a big world cup.
