The Greatest ODI Batsman: Tendulkar vs Richards

[Gurjot95]

They are greatest of all time. I know Legend bowlers were there in that era's but that doesn't mean this era bowlers are crap. All teams have improved their bowling (except India ofcourse). It is difficult to to play now with amount of new techniques bowlers have introduced.

TBH I'd like to see Friend face Hadlee, Imran, Akram, Dev, Lillee and Thomson on uncovered pitches with no protection.

And then if he's still alive he can come back and play on flat decks against mostly average bowlers

Have I said it's easy face them?

You really need to read some posts before you post something.

BTW I would like to see your face against Tait, Johnson, Steyn and Shoib even with protections and on dead pitch

But that is ALL theory.

None of this "research" can be proven to have an effect in real cricket.

There is such a thing as proven theories, DumDum. It's called something that isn't a perfect science. Have you ever heard of economics?

Sorry, that's not my area of expertise. I only deal with rational thinking.

FYI, Technology has made an impact on the game. Bowlers study batsmen a lot now. Similarly, batsmen get to study bowlers with awkward actions to get used to them. But bowlers do stand to gain a lot more, because a it's really hard for a batsman to rectify the flaws in their techniques. Bowlers can always change the lines and lengths they are used to bowling.

Blah, blah, blah. Don't assume man, where is the proof? Evidence?

I gave you evidence. You're just too bigoted to acknowledge it.

Uhh dude, entire countries are built upon economic principles and theories.

You kids are wasting my time. Next time you reply to this, come up with proper proof, otherwise they are opinions and nothing more.

The only thing that proves is that some job-seeking IT geek managed to find a job.

You wouldn't believe the things some people spend money on these days

You want an example? Ajantha Mendis! How else did people figure him out?

 

[King Pietersen]

Probably didn't help that he's effectively started bowling exclusively half trackers and full tosses.

You mean how did India figure him out. Because he played them so much it was like he was a member of their team.

Hardly, we found him difficult to contain in 6 ODI matches (Asia Cup Final and 5 ODI series in Sri Lanka) and 3 tests (in Sri Lanka. After that, he posed no problems whatsoever.

Well he still has a good ODI record and is probably more useful in ODIs/2020 then tests because batsman don't have that much time to play at him and figure out what he is doing.
Anyways what I was saying is that India are probably the only ones that might have a easy time dealing with him because Sri Lanka and India have faced each other so much while other countries will probably have a hard time seeing what he is doing.
