@Karachilicious@DeafMango No one has played over 450 innings as well. If Sanga, Ponting, Lara, Inzamam all had played over 450+ innings, they would have the same volume of runs. They had already done that over 300 innings.
Yes, if someone has played less than 150 or maybe 200 innings, then we cannot say.
@shekhar08908695@DeafMango Ponting, Sangakkara, Lara, Ganguly, and even Kallis all have averages of around 41 - 43.
Tendulkar has an average of 44-45. So, not much of a difference.
@PrateekRobot@DeafMango He is one of the greatest, no doubt. But, I would put him on 6th.
Yes, Sachin's relative SR is significantly higher. But, his relative average is still a bit lower, comparatively.
Also, scored heaps of runs against Kenya, Namibia and a fair few against even Bermuda.
@DeafMango Why not Sachin despite over 18000 runs? Cuz if anyone else also scores at an avg. of even 35 and plays 450 innings, he will also have 15,800 runs.
Playing 450 innings and scoring at an avg. of even 40 will take him to 18000+ runs as well.
@DeafMango I still think that Sachin isn't a top 5 ODI batter of all time, all things considered.
Viv is the greatest, followed by Virat and then AB. 4 and 5 for me are MS Dhoni and Rohit Sharma. 1/2
@Roomi5697@Shebas_10dulkar There was a Test series held in Pakistan in 2024. Pak won 2-1 under Shan Masood. Get your facts right, and you can check yourself.
@t20tracker@cricinfo Yeah, exactly. Was thinking the same. It's strange because wickets and runs are adding up in players' stats.
If leagues like MLC, ILT20, and even the Hundred (which is a 100-ball competition) is showing up, so the ETPL should show up as well.
@Cric_Beyond_Ent@Saad10Nasir@DeafMango 2/2 Perhaps, Hanif Mohammad is the greatest Test batsman Pak has ever produced. One of the greatest knocks in the Caribbean. A triple and a double century to his name.
Like T20 leagues today, in those days, county cricket stats mattered a lot. Hanif had a great FC record too.
@Cric_Beyond_Ent@Saad10Nasir@DeafMango 1/2 Hanif and S. Anwar both were openers. Hanif has a hundred against every Test playing nation, both home and away (in their countries). Anwar was great outside of Pakistan as well.
Besides, Hanif was the first great batsman Pakistan ever produced. He set the standards.
