Angelo Mathews can overtake Sachin Tendulkar, feels Sri Lanka’s outgoing cricket manager http://www.cricketcountry.com/news/angelo-mathews-can-overtake-sachin-tendulkar-feels-sri-lankas-outgoing-cricket-manager-277129

Sri Lanka cricket teams outgoing manager has made the bold statement that the current captain of the national team — Angelo Mathews — can surpass Sachin Tendulkar in number of Test centuries in his career, going by the fine form Mathews has struck over the recent couple of years.

With all due respect to Angelo Mathews for his abilities as cricketer, I am left wondering what made SL manager Michael de Zoysa to make such outrageous statement. Out of curiosity I checked Mathews numbers and he has grand total of 4 centuries at the age of 27 and after 46 tests. Not sure this statement worth creating a thread here but created mainly for laugh quotient :cantstop:

I rated Mathews a lot before the NZL tests and world cup Now he seems one those ftb Lankans specialize in

people need to take some statements in context. In the uk people are calling Anderson one of the best bowlers of all time. Obviously he did trying to big him up. With Mahela and Sanga gone the load of the batting is now probably going to fall on Mathews' shoulders.

I know they have to big up Mathews. But take some better measure to do that. Dude has total 4 centuries by the age of 27 and this guy expects him to score 48 more by the time he retires.

It's stupid in any given context.

He will get 35 hundreds in SL? Don't see any other way for this FTB.

Don't worry, guys. Even if Angelo Mathews overtakes Sachin, not long after that Ahmed Shahzad shehzad should be able to overtake Angelo.
