What's to celebrate? Records tumbling so frequently proves that it's no longer an achievement.

I wish I could remember the stat off the top of my head about Test triples. Sobers' highest Test score stood for 30 or so years then Lara broke it in 94, Hayden broke Lara's and then Lara regained it within 10 years - says it all. Triples are about as hard to score as doubles used to be, pitches are just so flat that batting and bowling averages are artificially inflated by 5-10 runs and there can be no fair comparison. Is Sachin that great or is it the nature of pitches that give a very good but not great batsman the chance to shine? For such a "great", it is surprising Sachin has only 248no as his Test best with only four 200s. Gooch isn't considered a great, but scored only one less 200/300 than Sachin's four in nearly 50 less Tests - playing on flatter wickets helping immensely, when Gooch played the West Indies were difficult to beg runs off and there were no soft bowling attacks. Maybe the sad truth is also that the days of truly great bowlers are long since numbered.

If we decide Legends by highest score then we would have many players above Sachin. Hope you know why Sachin is considered best.

Edit- How many players got 45+ centuries or scored 13000+ runs or even helped it's team to save them for many times by scoring in pressure.

Leave that and You still failed at your post. Sachin has 55.44 average outside subcontinent and 55.72 at home. Better try any meaningful reason next time.

Ok, go and ask any other player to make a double hundred , you'll find no one can except the great ST.

I pity you.
 
I Have never seen a god in my life till yesterday,but today i see him in ST@200 hats of to the master blaster
 
It would have taken place in Hyderabad ODI if India were batting first. Due to fielding for 50 overs and batting of 45 odd overs, he got out for 175. Nevertheless, I'd like to congratulate him on this account and request him to score a triple in tests at Hyderabad;)
 
no one in the current generation is as deserving as him to be the first to reach 200. Legend of the modern era.....
 
the best innings ever played by the best batsmen of the world from the best team in the world.

SACHIN-200:hpraise:hpraise
