do note the casual racism at 0:8 sec in first tweet, where the show host says "shekakat..or whatever his name is" (the characters name was Vijay Shekhawat in the movie). Aussies, racist and proud of it...and our IPL teams fall head over heels to give these louts cushy jobs, 'mentor' roles (whatever the f**k that is), captaincy and what not. Absolute thugs and street urchins like Ponting are feted - puke-inducing colonisation still affects so many of our urbanites.

One of the hardest shot for club cricketers. Most club cricketers (atleast in Canada)either always go on front foot even on short of length deliveries or go on back foot to pull or cut. There is no concept of back foot punch or drive for most club cricketers. Do other fellow club cricketers agree @Cricketics

There is a bit of  history here on why such daring shots were never tried. Yes, most club cricketers and even the ones who come from Ranji, Pakistan, or Windies to play in USA end up not trying that shot as historically the outfield has been really bad in countries like USA where they do  not maintain the grass of a cricket field. When  club players try  play that kind of shot,  the ball doesn't even go past 30 yard circle on some of the fields, because there is too much grass.  

 

This is one of the reasons why club cricketers have gotten used to playing aerial shots than trying to look elegant. Again, what Tendulkar does above might not be even done by other international cricketers at times, but you get the jist of it that anything which looks like a punch, be it backfoot or even drive shot, its hard to see a club cricketer in North America playing it on regular basis due to the conditions they have grown playing cricket. in.

And that is why he will be considered the best ever since 1950.  Sure enough numbers matter, but the intangibles associated with SRT are just not there with any of the others - Smith, Root, Kohli or Williamson, which will define them.

 

Only other person - who did command that respect was probably Viv and to a lesser extent Lara
