Stats for the Boss - Test Match Cricket

[gult]

Wait, Tendulkar is way behind scoring big because someone like Yousuf did it once in less innings, but someone like Sachin did it 6 times albeit in more innings? So Yousuf scores big more often than Sachin even though he has crossed 1000 only once as opoosed to Sachin's 6 times? Does it even make sense to you? :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

Hahaha, perfect response to these sachin haters! :hatsoff:

BossBhai, how good is Sach's conversion rate compared with other greats of the game? 49 centuries in 106 fifty plus scores is simply outstanding..ain't it?

^ Bradman is at 0.69 if you relax the 30 centuries qualification. 29 Hundreds, 13 Fifties.

How many Tendulkar has to score so that even if he gets out his avg will remain above that of Sanga?? I reckon it is 240?

BossBhai, I read few years back that Sachin is the only player to reach more hundreds by hitting a six (the count was four then). I could remember only 126 vs Aus in Chennai and 113 vs NZ in Wellington. What are the other two? Today is the 5th time Boss had reached 100 by hitting a six

I remember him hooking Walsh for a six to bring up his century during WI tour of India in 1994. Forgot the venue..was it Brabourne?

[Precambrian]

thats correct .

Thanks! Want him to get a 300 and make it over 57... long time...

[Sachinism]

He got to a 100 with a six off Hick in England, can't remember the year, may have been '96

Nagpur. He went on to reach his highest score then, 179. I saw this stat in Cricinfo sometime back, I'm unable to search it now :((

[littlemaster1982]

Dan, You are right.

Tendulkar's century was the most remarkable. It was the highest of his eight Test hundreds and he reached three figures by hooking Walsh for six.

Dan, You are right. Wisden Almanack

:yay::yay: Should have remembered the venue as well

He got to a 100 with a six off Hick in England' date=' can't remember the year, may have been '96[/quote'] off Min Patel. First Test at Edgbaston, 1996

[Tapioca]

I dont have ball-by-ball stats ... but IIRC the 155* was one one those occasions.

That 100 was reached by a leg glance off Paul Reiffel to long leg - can't remember whether it was a 2 or a 4.

[littlemaster1982]

off Min Patel. First Test at Edgbaston' date=' 1996[/quote'] Yesss :two_thumbs_up: Tendulkar reached his century with a 6 off Patel. So this is the list. 179 vs WI at Nagpur (1994) 122 vs Eng at Edgbaston (1996) 113 vs NZ at Wellington (1998) 126 vs Aus at Chennai (2001) 191* vs Aus at Bangalore (2010) :yay: :yay:
