Tendulkar v Inzamam TEST CRICKET ONLY

[mattfb]

Plus, everyone has been voting for Tendulkar. The people of PlanetCricket have spoken!

Thats not a stat. Thats got nothing to do with what you had just said. I respect both players but I dont like them. I wouldn't give a damn if Sachin retired in all cricket right now or if he did so 5 years ago. I would rather meet Phil Jaques then either of them.

That honor would probably go to Pakistan (Waqar, Wasim, Akhtar)

You would have to be very biased to think otherwise

You again have proved him right.First let me clear,Do you appreciate anything in cricket beyond Pakistan?

Because I got some data from 1992 January to 2007 December,check it out.

Australia:

McGrath + B Lee + S Warne​

Matches: 124 : 68 : 143 = 335 Matches
Wickets: 563 : 289 : 707 = 1559 wickets Total

4.65 wickets per Match.

W Younis + W Akram + S Akhtar​

Matches: 73 : 64 : 46 = 183
Wickets: 302 : 266 : 178 = 746 wickets Total

4.07 wickets per Match


And by the way,Do you know the funniest part of your argument?
Actually S Akhtar,W Younis and W Akram have played to gather in only 24 Test Matches and you are putting them right in to the bet!

Out of these all Bowlers,McGrath has highest number of Man of the Match and Man of the series awards.
In Short,Australia have the Best Test bowling attack in the time of McGrath,B Lee,J Gillespie and S Warne.
And By the way We shall not count even S Akhtar because We are talking about Players who play with Natural resources unlike S Akhtar who needs Hormones to boost up his metabolism.

Well said vaibhy, zMario its enough I guess now stop giving biased opinions and stats. We have got enough replies to prove who is the best

 

[m_vaughan]

Tendulkar is one of the best players ever. Inzamam was brilliant himself, but Tendulkar is in the A-league and the only players from his generation that can be compared to him are

1) Brian Charles Lara
2) Ricky Ponting

Ah yes indeed, the same Sachin that wastes referrals for his team and hasn't made a noteworthy contribution this whole series. What a legend.

 

[Cricketman]

Yeah, a guy who has more then 28,000 runs in international cricket, 138 half centuries and 81 hundreds is 'Yes Indeed' a legend, Mr. Arun Lal.

Comparing him to a guy with only 35 international hundreds (still an achievement) is kind of dumb.

 

[The Blazer]

Thanks pumpkin, I didn't ask for his career stats.

 

[Cricketman]

I didn't ask for his performance in the Sri Lanka series either, 'honey', but you brought that up quite easily didn't ya.

You're a guy who seems to blatantly believe that stats are the be all and end all. More power to you.

This discussion may be debated for a while yet, but one thing that is certain is Inzamam's sublime ability to play under pressure. Whether Sachin is a choker or not doesn't concern me; but when it came to pressure situations in run chases, I know who I would rely upon.

True, you didn't ask for anything. Maybe that's because the post was directed at the majority and not at an individual; unlike you who was directly replying to my post. Now it's sure as heck is pretty late in India, why don't you run off to bed. Ta.

 

[Cricketman]

According to http://www.icc-cricketrankings.com/, Tendulkar at his best was the 26th best Test batsman of all time, compared to Inzamam's 46. In ODI's Sachin was 12th best, compared to Inzi's 43.

I live in America thank ya very much, isn't it about 11:30 over there in England?

'Run off to bed', bud.

Oh, and I would rather rely on Sachin who was the lone warrior for team India throughout the 90's then Mr. Runout any day of the week.

Lone warrior, why? Because the rest of the Indian team was pants? Speaking of the 90's, in fact, speaking of the last two decades before the 21st century, would you mind telling me the win ratio for Pakistan vs India in Tests? Cheers.

If you're trying to deny Sachin's world renowned ability to crumble under pressure, then I'm at a loss of words. Inzamam on the other hand prospered under pressure and led Pakistan to victory in many a run chase.

 

[Cricketman]

Tbh, yeah we had a crappy team back then. Plus, Pakistan were coming off their all time peak - winning the world cup and what not.

Crumble under pressure? Would you call the CB series heroics crumbling under pressure? The 150 in Sydney, batting with the tail? Those are all recent performances, i'm sure anyone else could think of many others.

Look at that - 68-68 posts, that's nifty

You're a guy who seems to blatantly believe that stats are the be all and end all. More power to you.

First of all, the only way Inzamam could have won in my eyes was through statistics, because if we talk about batsmanship, flair and technique, Sachin is a league ahead.

Secondly, runs are runs, doesn't matter from which position or at whatever over, Sachin sets out the platform for each chase and opening in itself has it's own pressure, a bad start could trigger a collapse and easily end your teams chances there and then.

Brian Charles Lara

Yes, I think that to but this discussion isn't about him is it?
