How to drive in england -Tendulkar at his peak.

[Tattieboy]

Always on the left and remember to indicate when overtaking and the horn is only something that Velu gets when Dhoni is mentioned

I'm speculating a bit, but maybe Gollum lost a bet on Tendy's batting and had to submit to bacchabaazi or something, the butt-hurt is simply dripping from his words on any thread involving Tendy.

Gollum just needs to rant. Next T20 he will be back to Dhoni and all will be fine with the world

Unnecessary, both sides can speculate and then this will take a different direction unrelated to cricket or decency. 

Fair point.  Sorry brother, got carried away.  I will clean up the crap I posted.  

[Stradlater]

@Gollum come off it man. This thread is like a porn for us Teenda fans . I had already jerked off twice and was getting ready for the third round when you decided to show up.

Leave us the * alone.

One of the most brutal yet beautiful cover drives i have ever seen.

[FischerTal]

the best SRT i ever saw was the cover drive against Brett Lee in 2008 CB series. hitting a 150 kph delivery with utter disdain has to be one of the most powerful moments cricket can produce. watch at 0:38 sec. i doubt lara or any other batsman has ever produced such a magnificent shot.

One among many.  But the one thing Virat has, that Tendulkar lacked, is his supreme will.  Virat is a wolf, once he sinks his teeth into it, he just refuses to give it away - he may not have the optimal technique, but he's going to sink his teeth in and just refuse to let go.  Somehow, Tendulkar wasn't able to do that more often.  A neglected aspect of this, is the fact that Virat has been luckier than Tendulkar when in his batting prime.  Tendulkar played extraordinarily few number of tests in the 95-2000 timeframe.  

True. Virat has grit and enough technique to make him a ATG. He definitely trumps SRT in the fierce attitude. However, technically SRT is the better batsman. However, looking at Steve Smith we all know that by itself does not measure your success.

One against McGrath in the ODI during the 2000-2001 series is just as good if not better. I think David Hookes commentating said about his shotmaking “put it in a bottle and take it with you”

I am definitely not a fanboy! I make fun of him all the time that he underachieved. But you have to praise what is praiseworthy. Respect!

For a few, not being a fanboy requires insulting a bonafide legend of the game.

Sachin's finest test innings was the unbeaten 100 in that 390 chase in Chepauk against the Poms, a few days after 26/11 when the nation was in mourning. In terms of strokeplay apart from the ones mentioned here, I enjoyed his 44 in Jo'berg 1st innings in our 2006 tour...short and sweet on a very difficult track. Even Dada made an unbeaten 50 that innings, his finest overseas knock above the Brisbane 144. That win against a very strong RSA team is criminally under rated...the way we lost that series after being 1-0 up still hurts.

 

Similarly in ODIs I rate his 90 odd in the 3rd ODI against Pak in our 2006 tour, people talk about the UV-MSD partnership but it was Sachin who saw us through a very testing spell by Asif and co, 1st 20-25 overs were very difficult to negotiate and his cautious yet measured counter attack showed his class. 

 

As much as I enjoyed the 90s version of Tendy, I rate his 2007-10 resurgence period higher. Young Sachin was more dazzling but also reckless and impulsive, the older version had the right mix of aggression and caution...also grew bigger balls by then.

@Tendulkar1996 similar shots to Sachin's 177.

 

 

@Audiophile how would you compare VVS Laxman and Dravud with Tendulkar technique wise?

[Stan AF]

Backfoot dover drive @1:22. Notice how Jonty whisks his hand at the very last second. I ain't touching that.

Viv's batting technique is unique.No backlift to generate power at all.One swift stroke,unsheathing a sword from the scabbard and cutting in one single motion.The key element is decisiveness.Decisive footwork either big frontfoot or pivot back and bang.And the shots too are without any doubt and never half hearted.Requires superb footwork and hand eye co-ordination and have to pick length early.His intrinsic body muscle power also helped.

 

Tendulkar in the 90s has some similar elements,but many different ones as well.

Bosses pollock and Donald but gets out to Hanse freaking cronje on a leg side hack. Similarly to against Aus in 96 WC where he gets stumped on a wide ball against mark waugh.

Slight correction, thats Cullinan not Rhodes.Later on Cullinan confessed he took his hand away fearing a fracture

The backfoot drive standin tall on the toes of Ian Bishop is an all time favorite.
