Sachin's 241 not out vs Cook's 244 not out -Which is better?

[mancalledsting]

Gillespie after Lillee amd McGrath is one of Australia’s greatest ever seamers, he’s definitely better than Hazelwood based on current evidence.

 

Macgill was nearly as good as Shane Warne FFS, no competition between him and Lyon

 

Lee better than Cummins based on current evidence, certainly a lot quicker 

 

Bracken and Bird about the same 

 

Aus in 2004 had ATG batting lineup which adds to your pressure whenever batting, and were most feared team in the world, current Aus team are hit and miss 

 

Sachin’s performance came with series on the line and almost series’s winning knock, Cooks came after pressure off and series over. Ask McGrath and Warne who they’d rather bowl against

 His career was on the line.. He delivered and saved his career there. He couldn't even cross 250 in his whole life while cook did it on multiple occasions..

Lol...when your career is on the line, you have nothing to lose. Chris Gayle has crossed 300 twice, what's your point?

He wasn't doing that great lately and he had point to prove and yes if he failed they would have dropped him. Pressure was on him. What about Gayle ? He is a beast and can down anyone on his day.. Point was Cook has better innings(250+) thought out his Test career. This one ranks up there because of timing and the way it was delivered. Guy almost outscored the whole opposition Team Compared to that 241 innings where laxman had 178 and good few innings from Rest.. No need to be so touchy about your "Ailiaaa". Cook innings was 10x better

lol, gets progressively worse with each post. ICC just declared the MCG pitch a certified patta:

Shami and Jimmy Anderson capable of achieving milestones on such tracks e.g. Trent Bridge 2014. If you have any understanding of cricket, you can make the above call without the need for ICC certification instead of using it to prove how A. Cook is comparable to ATGs.

Both weren't their best knocks but I'll give it Sachin for the fact that he didn't play the cover drive. However Cook played those drivers amazingly. 

 

I'll go with Tendulkar but really India shouldn't have reached 7/705d and should have declared earlier.

Anything to defend his Ailiaaa now so it's a  patta where whole Aus team couldn't even score 330.. compared to 700+ on a landmine sachin batted on.

 

Even pappu Patel scored a 60 in a match where your Ailiaaa had his 200 on biggest patta..  Total ended up being 700+

Pappu Patel is a decent player of pace bowling, opinion widely held. How did Aus team do in their second innings on that Patta? ICC just gave MCG a fine for it being a patta...I'm waiting for the day when will basic facts penetrate your blood/brain barrier

Ohh so that one is a patta but   700+ India scored on isn't.. What was the result of that match ? And second innings score of India ? ICC fines even for smiling these days compared to those old days.. 

 

1st and 2nd  innings : 

589/14 - its a patta

916/9 - ohh no no no my ailiaa batted on mine.. never a patta

Sachin>>>> any Cook

[Vijy]

IMO, they were both rather irrelevant and ugly (by Tendy's standards) innings compared to the much better knocks that both these batsmen have played.
