Stop being so damn sensitive, maybe there is too much estrogen in the drinking water.

Once again you are seeing what you want to see. Nobody is getting their panties in a bunch but you.

Noone has ever called Gambhir a God and so you could only have been talking about Tendulkar. Tendulkar has never endorsed or done commercials for Hero Honda.

It's all the same difference really.

Apparently all the centuries Tendulkar has scored are because of Pepsi?

 

[Dare]

so on these forums if we say "god" we are immediately talking about Tendulkar?

 

[drainpipe32]

I believe so.

But it could also be Gambhir, Hughes, Nick Kruger...

Ugh, no!!! I was just sure that he was talking about Tendulkar because he's been going on about how great Sachin is (sarcastically) for a while now.

Hey Gambhir is 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Times better then Hughes..


Hughes is Street cricketer in front of gambhir

Gambhir is currently the best batsman in the world.

Gambhir is currently the best batsman in the world.

I wouldn't say that. There are quite a few batsmen competing for that spot. These include Andrew Strauss, Graeme Smith, Mahela Jayawardene, Kumar Sangakkara, Younis Khan, AB De Villiers, Thilan Samaraweera, Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting. In terms of rankings, yes, he is #1 but the competition for best test batsman is very stiff.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

I would like to see gambhir in england, south africa or australia.

not saying that I'm reserving judgement on him, I would just like to see it, he does seem to have made the step up in a big way. which just shows you cannot predict who will be the best players because potential is speculation unless you learn how to build an innings in many different circumstances and ruthlessly work on your shot selection. Gambhir has done those things better than a few guys I would have rated better than him prior to 2008.

No one can definitively say who is number 1. And we all know how accurate the ICC rankings are :sarcasm. Who here really thinks Kyle Mills was the best ODI bowler in the world last month :laugh

a lot of the time though you get rated one of the best after the fact. I don't think I heard anyone rating Kallis as one of the best of his era until about 2007 or 2008 but his all time peak was probably back in 2004-05.

but as hmarka says, no one say for sure, and the ICC rankings aren't the most reliale of sources.

Mate your signature is brilliant! Id rep you if I was not banned from using the rep system

 

[Amiya]

TBH these comparison threads are starting to annoy me. We saw how the comparisons to Bradman might have affected Hughes, and several other young players have suffered from unnecessary comparisons to great players before.

It's unnecessary pressure, and means absolutely nothing.

Epic post.

He's still in the no 1 spot, if I'm not horribly wrong. Epic rankings!
