My favorite Australian batsman. He was a pleasure to watch at his peak. Will miss watching him bat :hatsoff: Has more Test wins than the nation of India.

[Lord]

is that his debut test pic?

[ganeshran]

Best number 3 batsman after Bradman. His mastery over the pull shot was unparalleled :hatsoff:

The greatest match winner as a batsman in my book,fearless and one of best player of fast bowling of this Era.

May be others should take a hint from this and not linger their career. Brilliant player and will always be one of the greatest ever to bat. :hatsoff:

What i admired was his huge front front stride when he was in his pomp and how quickly he got back during 2003-2007.

[Sachin=GOD]

Absolute Legend. :hatsoff:

CHEAT. His behaviour in 2008 will never been forgotten an average player with a massive ego.

[coffee_rules]

ATG batsmen, great in all conditions except sub-continent. So what, every ATG has some weakness. He was a thorn in the flesh in my wins against India. Won 2 WCs, one all by himself. Never forget his bashing of ZC, Srinath and Nehra on that fateful day. Personally, Had a great respect for him until Sydney '08. Win at all costs was stretched beyond moral limits. P.S: Much as say all that, I rejoice the fact the SRT will keep all his runs/100s records for some more time. :yay: And for one last time, this one is for him.... :punter:

^ He did well in SL

Fans like you are reason why some people want Tendulkar to fail each time he comes to bat, same for other player's fanatics. How many such average players India has produced? We are still miles behind Aus & WI when it comes to overall tally of cricketing legends, at best we can compete with South Africa, slightly managed to leave England behind with FAB 5 we have had in 2000s.
