"Technically no one is better than Sachin Tendulkar, not even Sir Don Bradman." - @MClarke23

Why is this Australian so pro-India? Beats me.

That could be true as technically it is hard to find fault with Sachin's batting .... Don was more like Sehwag in a sense that he was not text book perfect. Lara, for e.g., too is technically not as good as Sachin .... Gavaskar is also technically great if i m not wrong

That is why I always say SRT underachieved in test cricket with the kind of talent he had.

He worked really hard on his batting. Unless it was due to injuries, which was true in last 10 or so years of his career.

He had trouble with the incoming delivery, fell lbw quite a few times. And after getting out, he would bend his knees as if to indicate the ball kept low due to vagaries of the pitch. For all his perfect technique and immense success as a ODI opener, he never opened in tests. Bradman may not have had the technique but numbers don't lie. He is head and shoulders above his peers in average. Sachin isn't.

he had the talent to achieve 60 batting average in test cricket.

Tendulkar screwed up in the end and probabaly did not do full justice to his talent and could have averaged a bit more.

 

 

He is no doubt the most complete batsmen ever seen or one there ever will be. Will that be sufficient to call him the greatest test bat? May be not. There are many contenders. 

 

But surely the most complete batsman by a country mile.

He developed the trouble when he lost form and reflexes which is natural for any batsman. He never had any trouble in initial part of his career 

 

As for his pretending that ball kept low, nice for repeating the morons sanju and rameezs words proving your IQ is just as low as them. In truth sachin always stood on his toes to punch short of length deliveries, when he lost form and missed incoming deliveries he would lose balance and stumble, which made him hunch

He would have if not for his injuries. The very fact he even came back from his tennis elbow and dominated for couple of years is a miracle

Being technically great and the greatest batsman are two different things .... can’t argue against an avg of 100

He had the talent to achieve that, despite those injuries.

Game becomes mental at that level rather than than physical. Tennis players return from Tennis elbow also, so its not a miracle. Yes, its a good achievement but if you follow tennis, they have more weird injures every season than you would hear in cricket for a batsmen.

 

 

 

Tendulkar was mentally good(not the greatest ) and that is what carried him forward dueing his decline or during injury period.

yes his tennis elbow injury issue has been overblown.  it is not such an injury that would have had a huge impact on his batting.

He did score 13500+ runs (more than anyone else's career runs) at 59.4 avg from age of 19-38 when most of the batsmen play their international cricket.

You can't match this technique. One was not out. One was out lol

 

[putrevus]

Clarke is right, Sachin with his talent should have scored like Bradman and racked up huge scores, I still feel one more year of Ranji's would have made him a far better player than he became. He had everything except racking up those huge scores.

And more matches in 90s. He played like 60-65 matches in those good 10 years. Missed 30-35 matches and 2000-2500 runs.

He played more than a decade after 2000, stop it with this 90s thing. He was technically correct but he was missing this  "Fortunately I have scored big runs in domestic cricket, and when you score big runs, you develop that concentration".

 

It took him over a decade to score double hundred, average is not important, what is more important is impact series which Sachin sadly has very few.Scoring big hundreds is habbit you learn in domestic cricket, sadly he never got a chance to learn it.
