If sachin is the best ever why is he 29th. Yes twenty ninth for highest career test ranking. Some odd names are higher due to a crazy purple patch but.....can anyone be the best ever who has 28 players with a higher pb rating?
Dravid won more matches Ffs.
Lara has said that Tendulkar best...
Good point. Fewer than 1000 of his 13000 runs have come lower than 4. So actually a terrible point given sachin scored a higher percentage batting lower and more on flat pitches!
So being the fifth bowler who bowls the donkey overs such as 70 to 80, fielding in the slips all day so concentrating every ball and then going off and immediately padding up; that is chuffing impressive.
Of his 13000 test runs kallis has scored ninety/90 nine zero runs at number six. He has scored 600 at five. The other 12000 plus have come in the top four.
Fair to say that is not an accurate assertion.
Kallis has nearly as many runs as sachin at a better average. He also has almost 300 wickets. In odi he averages more and has about 250 wickets.
Remember kallis plays lots on bad pitches in sa. He averages ten more than his saffer team mates in sa. He has also not scored a truck load of runs...
