Vijy Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Calling Steyn "decent" is an insult to one of the greatest pace bowlers of the 21st century.
IKnowU Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Sachin was easily the best considering how many batsmen have got so close to the 200 mark without getting it. Reaching the 200 was a monumental milestone for the game and it couldn't have gone to a better player then Sachin
Lord Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Calling Steyn "decent" is an insult to one of the greatest pace bowlers of the 21st century. In ODI he's been decent to very good at best
Sid Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Sachins 200 was against the best attack followed by rohits 209 which is criminally underrated. Just 264 automatically qualifies it pretty high,that is Herculean. Gutpill is 4th,followed by sehwag and gayle If anything Rohit's 209 is way overrated ,he was up against a pathettic bowling attack ,even Johnson was sent back before that game for Ashes performance.Add to that that joke of a ground Chinnaswamy.
Precambrian Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Quality attack? Only Steyn was decent . Parnell Van Der Merwe Kallis(in his last legs ) Duminy are rubbish bowlers WTF? Kallis went onto play for another 5 years dude. Van Der Merwe, Duminy, Kallis and Langeveldt all had career ERs below 5 coming into match. By contrast, India had just one, Sir Jadeja.
BeautifulGame Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Calling Steyn "decent" is an insult to one of the greatest pace bowlers of the 21st century. Steyn is at best a decent bowler in ODIs. Don't confuse tests with ODI . If u think he is a ATG in ODIs lol
maniac Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 If anything Rohit's 209 is way overrated ' date='he was up against a pathettic bowling attack ,even Johnson was sent back before that game for Ashes performance.Add to that that joke of a ground Chinnaswamy.[/quote'] 3 people hold the world record for 16 6s in a odi game....the other 2 being gayle vs zim in this wc and abdv vs this pathetic wi bowling minus their only decent bowler Taylor....add to that he scored a 200 and in comparison to other attacks when a player scored a 200,it was still hands down the 2nd best attack
adi B Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Sachin's ,the range of shots were superb against a quality attack. Personally I liked viru's double ton,absolutely massacred the Windies and their bowling attack was pretty good with narine and rampaul,he could have scored a 250 had he not got out 4 overs before. Nohit's 264 was awesome as well especially at the end but I'll rate it third
Vijy Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Steyn is at best a decent bowler in ODIs. Don't confuse tests with ODI . If u think he is a ATG in ODIs lol No, he's more than decent... in fact, he's decent after averaging. I know that he's not as good in ODIs as he is in Tests but calling him "at best decent" is plain hyperbole.
BeautifulGame Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Duminy is good enough to destroy Lungans. van der Merwe was doing very well at that point. Kallis was a nobody of course. I thought Langeveldt was around' date=' and he's an ODI specialist.[/quote'] And Taylor is good enough to destroy Indian batting Holder Pakistan batting etc .Truth is that was still a mediocre bowling attack But another thing that is definitely the best fielding unit of them all along with Rohit 200 vs Aussies.So probably saved 10-15 runs from Sachin.Being the first to get there as well . But scoring in world cup Knock out is much harder than those 200s

Sid_SuhaiL Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 1. Sachin 2. Rohit 264 3. Guptill 4. Rohit 209 5. Sehwag 6. Gayle
Sid Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 3 people hold the world record for 16 6s in a odi game....the other 2 being gayle vs zim in this wc and abdv vs this pathetic wi bowling minus their only decent bowler Taylor....add to that he scored a 200 and in comparison to other attacks when a player scored a 200' date='it was still hands down the 2nd best attack[/quote'] The attack which Veeru faced was much better,he absolutely demolished supposed mystery spinner Narine with complete nonchalance.When Veeru got out more than 3 overs were still left lol.That innings wipes the floor with Rohit's 209 quite comfortably. Sachin's is best of the lot and Veeru's is close second.

rkt.india Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 209 against was the one I enjoyed the most. He just toyed with their bowlers.

rkt.india Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Probably Guptil as it came in a QF of WC None of them has come against a decent attack SA and Aus attack were worse than WI attack?
