DadaRocks Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 SRC - CRICINFO - PLAYERS in era 1987 - 2008 Question:- How many times great/good BATSMEN(NOT BOWLING) got man of the matches in a test match and it lead to a team victory. NOTE - Iam excluding MOM got for Bang and ZIM. 1. R.Ponting- 9 MOM awards ( 8 in HOME, 1 outside) - Match Winner 2. ML Hayden- 7 MOM awards ( 5 in HOME, 2 outside) - Match Winner 3. GC Smith- 5 MOM awards( 2 HOME, 3 outside)-Match Winner 4. Inzamam- 5 MOM awards( 3 in HOME, 2 outside) - Match Winner 5. R. Dravid- 5 MOM awards(1 in HOME, 4 outside) - Match Winner 6. AC Gilchrist- 5 MOM awards(0 in HOME, 5 outside) - Truly match winner 7. JH Kallis - 9 MOM awards(8 in HOME, 1 outside) - Match Winner 8. S. Waugh- 12MOM awards(6 in HOME, 6 outside)- LEGEND ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BLOOPERS 1. SR Tendulkar - 2 MOM( 2 HOME, Not got MOM since 1998) - Not a Match winner Guys( in TESTS) 2. BC LARA - 3MOM( 3 Home, 0 outside) - 1 Better than tendulkar but not a Match Winner 3.M. Yousuf - 2MOM (2 HOME) - As good as the above 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guys - FACTS dont lie.....I will leave it to your own interpretation of this. Tendulkar so much of talent has sadly not been able to win matches as much as others. Probably MOM for Drawn test matches would take LARA into some sort of legends here. Sorry if i disappoint some Indian fans, but want to bring the reality. Agreed bowling did not supported Tendulkar but there have been numerous occasion where he could have clinched it for India. May be some of the dark pages of tendulkar in otherwise a glorius career.

It just shows Pakistan had only one quality batsman, whereas India had the fab 4, who shared the spoils.:hatsoff: May piss be upon you.
Guest Hiten. Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Hey smartass, nice copy-paste from PP. Get your facts right though. SRT won his last MoM vs South Africa 2000 in Mumbai.
DadaRocks Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 "Since 1999, India has won 36 test matches. Most surprisingly Sachin Tendulkar was not man of the match in a single match. It shows he is not a match winning player. On the other hand man of the match award in these winning matches have gone to: Kumble -7, Dravid - 5, Harbhajan - 5, Sehwag - 3, Ganguly - 2, Laxman - 2 and Zaheer Khan - 2." cricinfo
bharat297 Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Stats dont lie ... I am willing to admit that Sachin has not been as much of a matchwinner as Dravid in Tests ... however he has still performed well and in many cases his performances in the first innings of tests have put India into matchwinning situations and it is their bowlers that didnt capitalise For instance, just last summer in Sydney and Adelaide ... or 4 years ago in Sydney. Its not like he hasnt contributed. Furthermore, these stats dont mean he cant win us a game in the future.
