Sachin=GOD Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 :poink: search for tendulkar :beee: desert storm innings is there .. again.. 4 sachin 4 dada 2 dravids innings I'm talking about Desert Storm being in top 3 (or top 5 at the very least) not just being "present" on the list. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 If one can rate Jayasuriya's 189 over Steve Waugh's 120 or Sachin's desert storn' date=' then you certainly know the credibitliy of it![/quote'] Seems as if some drunkard made that list probably somewhere around the South Korean region :beee: Link to comment
saneindian Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 As I mentioned earlier' date=' let Dhoni score 100 runs in a single innings outside Asia then we can talk.[/quote'] Wonder if that should even be a criteria when the 98 vs Pak is considered by many to be Sachin's finest ODI innings and will rate perhaps amongst top 5 ODI innings of all time.

Raghav_12 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 desert storm or 2003 WC against Pak or CB series Finals knocks' date=' 175 against Aus, century in '98 CT against Aus, 200* against SA etc not even in top 20 and this list is supposed to be credible [/quote'] that list was compiled in feb 2002. Still both desert strom innings should have been there and few others. Link to comment

Dhoni hasn't even got 1 century outside Asia. Link to comment

But then a list where a knock vs ZIm is rated better than the dessert storm should have no credibility. Link to comment
velu Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Seems as if some drunkard made that list probably somewhere around the South Korean region :beee: :poink: was prepared by the elite cricket personalities and edited by the real cricket fans sitting in england :nervous: Link to comment

Abe look at the date Feb 2002 so half of those knocks do not qualify. But then a list where a knock vs ZIm is rated better than the dessert storm should have no credibility. Oh..ok. But even before Feb 2002 there are many innings which should be on the list higher up. Link to comment
saneindian Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 that 98 was one innings out of many great innings that include many centuries. Dhoni hasn't even got 1 century outside Asia. But still a score less than 100 is his best knock, shows you why the criteria of scoring a 100 outside Asia is flawed. To me its the same nitpicking as someone saying earlier in the thread Sachin has a mediocre record as a MO batsman in ODIs. Link to comment
velu Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 sachin is a great batsmen .. probably one among the greatest bats .. but he is still tiny little bit overrated on the other hand , msd is really really underrated .. :(( Link to comment

Raghav_12 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 how long before we see a thread titled as "Virat kohli greater than Sachin?" I can today list people who would say, i think winner is Kohli.:cantstop: Link to comment
Sachin=GOD Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 But still a score less than 100 is his best knock' date=' shows you why the criteria of scoring a 100 outside Asia is flawed. To me its the same nitpicking as someone saying earlier in the thread Sachin has a mediocre record as a MO batsman in ODIs.[/quote'] A hundred is a kind of a benchmark in ODIs - I'm not saying that Dhoni's best innings has to be a hundred but at least he has to get a hundred outside Asia.

Yoda-esque Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 As I mentioned earlier' date=' let Dhoni score 100 runs in a single innings outside Asia then we can talk.[/quote'] Who wants to talk.I am stating. Link to comment
Yoda-esque Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 A hundred is a kind of a benchmark in ODIs - I'm not saying that Dhoni's best innings has to be a hundred but at least he has to get a hundred outside Asia. Where did this new metric come from? Link to comment
Raghav_12 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Hes played for over 20 years ' date=' its not surprising hes played some great innings .[/quote'] Correct and logical statement is, he kept playing great innings that's why he played for 20 years. Link to comment
Sachin=GOD Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Where did this new metric come from? so you don't think a hundred is any sort of a benchmark and its just a random number used for the benefit of statisticians? Link to comment
Yoda-esque Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 so you don't think a hundred is any sort of a benchmark and its just a random number used for the benefit of statisticians? OK.SRT has more 100s inside and outside India in the middle order than MSD has but a lower average . Explain that. Link to comment
Yoda-esque Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 so you don't think a hundred is any sort of a benchmark and its just a random number used for the benefit of statisticians? The only metric is how many innings lead to a win. A win is the objective here. Link to comment
