Thread: Sachin Tendulkar's nephew

nooo tendulkar can never be replaced lol

not possible but its good to see that his nephew can also play

hopefully the young one can take his place but no one can be as good as sachin

yeah ..i agree....but i am happy that we can still watch tendulkar for another 4-5 years...i think he is coming back in top form....lots of 90's in the past month and the 171

The most selfish player I have ever seen Mr. Tendulkar and his form is only good for one match. With so many ruuns under his belt which match he has won for his team.

I totally disagree with cyborg. If Tendulkar would not be a good player, then it was not possible to achive this stage where today nobody is even close to him. And second thing he is not selfish, evryone wants to complete his century when he is in 80s or 90s. So we cant say tht "Tendulkar" is selfish and not good.

i also totally disagree with cybrog... he has played many many great games... may be you might not be familiar... remember tendulkar vs warne
tendulkar vs giles tendulkar vs akhtar tendulkar vs mcgrath.... he has beat every player of the above

U guys missing the point. The point is he is good batsman but not great as his achievments are his does it helps team win the matches.

well cyborg...thats what we are trying to say....a great player will always achieve something for the team....in odi he has got around 65mom awards....than means he has given a huge contribution in those matches and also he averages the highest in finals of tournaments

Tendulkar v other top batsmen in run-chases

When Sachin Tendulkar made a smashing return from his tennis-elbow problem against Sri Lanka, the whole nation went into a frenzy. A little more than a month into his comeback, questions are already being raised about his form, his hunger, and about whether he'll ever be as good as he once was. Admittedly, Tendulkar's run since that unbeaten 67 in the second match of that series at Mohali has been worryingly barren - 107 runs in eight innings, his worst stretch in eight consecutive completed ODI innings.
A criticism often levelled at Tendulkar is that he seldom weighs in with a substantial score when India are chasing a challenging target, and that voice would have got just a bit louder in the last month, when his six innings on the chase brought him just 103 runs. Has Tendulkar really let the team down when they have needed him to guide a run-chase? How do his numbers when batting second compare with some of the other top batsmen in the world? It's time to dig into the numbers, and allow the stats to tell the story.
In all one-dayers since 2002 (all the analysis below excludes games against Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and all other non-Test-playing nations), Tendulkar averages nearly 40 when batting second, and that figure only drops marginally when the target goes up to 240 or beyond.

In run-chases since 2002 (excl. Zim, B'desh & other non-Test-playing teams)

Batsman	Matches	Runs	Average	Strike rate
Rahul Dravid	43	1470	45.94	70.64
Jacques Kallis	43	1488	45.09	72.34
Sachin Tendulkar	38	1310	39.70	83.07
Inzamam-ul-Haq	38	1237	38.66	77.65
Ricky Ponting	37	1095	37.76	78.66
Brian Lara	34	939	36.12	76.84
Mohammad Yousuf	42	1315	35.54	77.90
Sourav Ganguly	35	1064	32.24	80.55
Sanath Jayasuriya	38	985	28.97	85.13

In run-chases of 240 or more since 2002 (excl. Zim, B'desh & other non-Test-playing teams)

Batsman	Matches	Runs	Average	Strike rate
Rahul Dravid	27	1006	47.90	76.85
Jacques Kallis	21	854	47.44	74.72
Inzamam-ul-Haq	25	983	46.81	87.46
Sachin Tendulkar	21	752	37.60	87.65
Sourav Ganguly	22	721	34.33	85.83
Brian Lara	22	615	32.37	79.77
Sanath Jayasuriya	19	532	29.56	93.50
Mohammad Yousuf	26	700	28.00	82.94
Ricky Ponting	15	305	21.79	71.76

In these 21 matches when the team has chased more than 240, Tendulkar has come up with some sterling performances - two of the most memorable ones were against arch-rivals Pakistan: in the 2003 World Cup at Centurion, Tendulkar blitzed 98 of the finest, in the process winning a key battle against Shoaib Akhtar; then, on the tour to Pakistan in 2004, Tendulkar kept India going virtually single-handedly when they were faced with a huge target of 330 at Rawalpindi, scoring a magnificent 141. What's probably added to the perceptions against Tendulkar is the results of the matches when Tendulkar has got starts: he has topped fifty in six of those 21 matches, and India have gone on to lose five (the only victory came in the World Cup match against Pakistan).

Tendulkar's 50-plus scores chasing more than 240 since 2002

Score	Opposition	Match
98	Pakistan	Centurion, 2003
68	Australia	Mumbai, 2003-04
89	Australia	Bangalore, 2003-04
63	Australia	Melbourne, 2004-05
141	Pakistan	Rawalpindi, 2003-04
78	Pakistan	Colombo, 2004

Admittedly, Tendulkar's average in these run-chases is less than his overall ODI average since 2002 of 45. However, if Tendulkar has fallen below his lofty standards in run-chases, then so have some of the other top-class batsmen. Brian Lara only averages 32 in run-chases over 240, Sanath Jayasuriya averages less than 30, while for Ricky Ponting, that number drops to a shocking 21.79, almost 19 points lesser than his overall ODI average during this period. In the 15 matches when Australia have chased more than 240, Ponting has two half-centuries, but in 12 other innings he has fallen for less than 20.
While Tendulkar's numbers aren't bad, there are a few top-order batsmen who have comfortably outdone him on the averages stakes in 240-plus run-chases against the top teams. His team-mate and captain, Rahul Dravid, is on top of the averages list, with a superb rate of nearly 48 runs per innings, almost four runs more than his overall average in the last four years. Jacques Kallis follows him close behind with an identical average and only a slightly lower scoring rate, but both are outdone by a batsman who deserves to spoken of in the same breath as the above three, but has seldom got the recognition he deserves.
Inzamam-ul-Haq averages nearly 47 in games in which the opposition put up 240 or more on the board, but the other aspect which is outstanding is the rate at which he has scored these runs. Both Dravid and Kallis at about 4.5 per over, which is below the asking rate in these games. Which means they've played the anchor, while the others in the team have taken the responsibility of scoring quickly - Tendulkar's strike rate, for example, is nearly 88 per 100 balls, Jayasuriya's is 93, suggesting that they've taken the onus of keeping the asking rate in check, while the others look after the aspect of keeping wickets in tact. In Inzamam's case, he takes care of both, scoring quickly and scoring lots of runs while doing so, an indication that he has been on a different plane as a one-day batsman in the last four years, a plane even Tendulkar hasn't come close to.

what are you trying to prove with those facts......they kind of support tendulkar.....it shows that only inzamam has been better........i liked the strike rate column....and i also liked to see that pointing average drops so much.....btw....dravid and jack kallis always play anchor....as far as teh indian team is concerned ...its either tendulkar, sehwag, yuvraj or dhoni who have to attack while dravid is playing the anchor role......

Dude the point I was trying to make was he hasn't won enough matches for India that he should have with the caliber of batsman he is, unlike Lara, Dravid, Kallis or Inzi. That was the point but n no matter wat I do u won't think abt it as Sachin is god to u and no one dare qts the god. So leave it lolz

1. first thing look at the matches jack kallis, rahul vs sachin

2. look at the strike rate

3. you forgot to copy this one

look at his high scores in above 240 chase... above 50 what else can we expect double centuries lol

It is up there mate. Right smack in the middle of the article. Doesn't matter how many runs he scores doesn't matter hsi strike rate u can't deny the stats above. Anyway Only once batsman is best in da world that is ofcoz INzi the gr8. As stated by the authour of above co;umn

"Inzamam-ul-Haq averages nearly 47 in games in which the opposition put up 240 or more on the board, but the other aspect which is outstanding is the rate at which he has scored these runs.

lol...inzamam is a good player but he isnt the greatest...well ...i dont understand one thing.....a person scoring in the first innings of the match is just as important as the second innings....inzamam probably fails more then sachin in the first innings
