If he can average greatly then they why can't he now against lesser bowlers? Ponting's had more success over the past few years then Tendulkar ever did.
I don't think Tendulkar ever got a century when McGrath played to him.
Nah, because Hayden's scoring hundreds and is reverse sweeping your bowlers while doing so.
The reason Tendulkar can play spin so well is because his grown up in conditions which have helped him learn and adapt to play spin bowling. He has also played most of his career on better batting tracks then what Ponting has.
because tendulkar has always been injured and rarely played a full season
mcgrath versus tendulkar
