Sachin tendulkar vs Ms Dhoni :Who is India`s greatest Odi cricketer of all time ??

[Sachin=GOD]

: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.

[Laaloo]

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:

[saneindian]

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]

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.

that 98 was a brilliant innings but it was one innings out of many great innings that include many centuries. Dhoni hasn't even got 1 century outside Asia.

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.

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.

[velu]

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 .. :((

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:

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]

Where did this new metric come from?

[Raghav_12]

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.

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.

The only metric is how many innings lead to a win. A win is the objective here.
