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. but not 500 .. there are players who scored more runs easily Link to comment

But not denying other player's awesome performances, I knew Viv was great but 829 runs in 4 tests? It will take some time for that to sink in. Link to comment

He was really good indeed. for instance take the below series Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Australia in India), 2010/11 2 4 1 403 214 134.33 1 2 Scoring 403 runs in only 4 inns @134.33 avg:- if this is not almost winning by one self , then i don't know what it is. Similarly I can trace out at least a few more too. Also keep in mind that winning/losing a series is not entirely decided by a single player as well. Even more importantly don't take the criteria like 500 or 499 or 498 to decide this factor.In the above case itself , to score 97 more to meet '500' in 5 more inns would have been a cake walk for Sachin.So leave this criteria to lower primary kids or mentally retarded people.

Rasgulla Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 2 hours ago, MechEng said: 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. Not only that he couldn't win single test match for India overseas in so called peak 90s.... Let not even go near his captaincy, such a failure that he got dumped not once but twice.

putrevus Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 ^^^Sachin as a captain got raw deal, he captained Indian team when it was at its weakest.But to his credit Sachin played very well under every captain. Link to comment
Aiden Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Lara -7 Tendulkar - 0. Wow Can someone write this stat on a cake and smack it on Viv Richards face. velu, Rasgulla and Real McCoy 1 1 1 Link to comment

Muloghonto Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 5 hours ago, putrevus said: 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. being not at their peak to score 500 is very different from not being good enough to being in the team. The reason Tendulkar doesn't have 500+ scores is because he hardly ever played much test cricket with more than 5-6 innings in the series. hardly a few test series with more than 7 innings per series. Simple. Link to comment

Simple. That is simply not true, he was not good enough to score 500 runs in series.I am tired of hearing excuses on why Sachin could not do this or Sachin couldn't do that, it is simple he was not good enough.Nobody stopped him from scoring a triple hundred either. There is a reason why he never crossed 900 rating also. Link to comment
