AB de Villiers v Sachin Tendulkar[ODI]


Recommended Posts

Sachin! 150+ wickets' date=' opened the batting, played in much difficult conditions with no bias rules in favour of batsmen, and dominated much superior bowlers. Not to forget the burden of being the one to bat through the innings and still he maintained a better sr than those who batted around him![/quote'] But De Villers also keeps wickets which is more useful than 150 wickets IMO. Anyway, it's too early to compare the two. If De Villiers can sustain this for a few more years then De Villers > Tendulkar, but at the moment I would favour Tendulkar.

strange comparison. There is very little common between them. Tendulkar/Lara this is the only comparison that makes sense later Punter was added. ABDV should be compared with guys like Amla, Sangakkara, Kevin Pietersen. Mohammad Hafeez

Different era, different pitches, different challenges, different bowlers. You cannot say ABD is better just by average. The bowling that Sachin and Lara faced in the 90's was phenomenal. McGrath, Warne, Ambrose, Walsh, Donald, Pollock, Wasim, Waqar, Murali, Saqlain, Gillespie to name a few...You would be hard pressed to name 5 bowlers with similar quality in this era where the rules have made bowling even more toothless. If Sachin and Lara batted in this generation, you cannot guess how they would have done with these rules. In the same way we would never know how ABD would have done in the 90's on those pitches against that quality. So thats the reason we should never compare players across eras

Mindset has changed these days. Batting is easier with big bats, constant exposure against various bowlers through IPL et al. Tendulkar has crossed 150 five times in his career. First time in 1999 later 2003.. Remaining 3 came after 2009.

He is a part time keeper, has not kept for even half of the matches he played. Going by your logic can we call MSD as better than Wasim since he is a wicket keeper ? Sure, he is one of the few players who can overtake Sachin.
