vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 so according to you those 10 points dont affect negatively on a batsmans run scoring ability ? No Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I surrender I wonder why our stupid babus are pouring in millions on that MRF pace academy .... should have listened to the Bradman bhakths instead and invested in trundlers academy. You are Tendulkar bhakta. I am no Bradman bhakta. I am logic bhakta. Anti-stupid-logic bhakta. :cantstop: Link to comment
The Outsider Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Is that why he scored a fat Zero in the simple olympiad test posted in post#105 ? Don't know about that, but Rameez Raja aced it. :hysterical: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=213283 Link to comment

King Tendulkar Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 In fact Bradman played in such ancient times there is barely even tv footage of him. How such ancient bygone players can be compared to modern day greats is madness. Is WG Grace also as good as Sachin? He also basically only played against one other country. The rest were like Bangladesh now! Such uncompetitive era. Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 correction .. you are a lahori logic bhakt ... and you need to read the posts more carefully again ... SRT is just used as a representative of modern era batsmen ... as such there are quite a few others who can match bradman. if you think producing great fast bowlers is a stupid logic then I have no problems being called stupid. Ya.. we know Ramiz Raja is better than Hammond :cantstop: Tamim Iqbal is better than Vijay Merchant, Vijay Hazare. Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Infact Rokibul hasan is better than Sunil gavaskar coz he is a "modern day" great :cantstop: Sunny didn't play great teams like bangladesh. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have a question - on which date in the annals of history did run scoring go from easy to twice as difficult? Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 For a self-styled "logical" poster' date=' you've a disturbing fetish for inane smileys and preposterous analogies.[/quote'] That ticks you off? :cantstop: Here you go some more :cantstop::winky::haha::yay::icflove::eyedance::two_thumbs_up::finger::(( Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have a question - on which date in the annals of history did run scoring go from easy to twice as difficult? Around 1988 when Sachin made test debut. It will become easier once he retires Link to comment

The Outsider Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 its not that cut and dry ... batsmen adapted as and when new challenges arose ... its the part of the evolution process. Some approximate date/year? Link to comment

teacup Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I would say the mid 70s ... some really great fast bowlers appeared on the scene and to add to that reverse swing was unearthed and cricket became a professional sport. Also, the 1975 World Cup and Viv Richards' fielding in the final was a watershed moment with regards to the development of fielding as a discipline. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I would say the mid 70s ... some really great fast bowlers appeared on the scene and to add to that reverse swing was unearthed and cricket became a professional sport. So someone like Gavaskar should have seen a major dip in his average after the mid 70s. He averaged 49 till 1975 and 51 after that. Similar for Chappell(51 and 54), Llyod(40 and 50), Boycott(47 and 47), I Chappell(41 and 47), Viswanath(38 and 43). There was no major change in any batsman's average who played sufficient cricket either side of the mid 70s. If anything, the numbers show a modest increase for most. Link to comment
