Tendulkar as a World Cup player (posts moved here)

[Prince EWS]

The award was for Player of the Tournament, not the thinker of the Tournament or believer of the tournament.

Captaincy is part of being a player though.

Not in the context of the award, I believe.

Sorry mate but I just get annoyed when people get "rated" because of performances when the pressure really isnt on

You must have missed the fallout in India when we struggled past Netherlands and lost badly to Australia in the group stages. Players' houses were attacked. Now that's pressure for you.

TBH, you cant criticise Tendy too much (despite what many Indian supporters would've had you believe until a couple of years ago and 1 failure in a WC Final), it's more Dhoni I'm concerned with

Yup like single handedly demolishing Wasim.Waqar.Akhtar in the biggest game of your life or ensuring that India won the semi final - Kenya was a weak team but we are talking pressure here not opposition.Go have a look at what your Mark Waugh says about how the pressure on him is in no way comparable to the pressure under which Tendulkar bats. Tendulkar has been fabulous in all World cups he has played bar the 2007 one.MoS in 2003,highest run-getter in 1999 I believe and did well in 1996 as well.

Great player but not the best in 2003 IMO

Thankfully it is not your opinion that counts.

 

[Sir Alex]

have to admit the desperation of some here.

What next? 'Isn't Bradman overrated'?

 

[Cevno]

First A Sir alex Ferguson needs to leave thread on a Manchester united forum and now this.

Some people try their best to not be taken seriously.

 

[Cevno]

thank your lucky stars you are not a moderator, social. otherwise, you would have banned yourself for trolling.

This.

Satyam was banned for something similar,wasn't he?

 

[Cevno]

So SRT has scored more runs at a better average than anyone in WCs

Can you seriously claim that he's in the top 5 WC batsmen ever - no friggin way

Anyway, let's not derail the thread - anyone that believes MSD is better than Bevan assigns more importance to just another series in the subcontinent than the most important tournies

Pretty simple really and the suggestion is really farcical IMO

Cricket Records | Records | World Cup | Most runs | Cricinfo.com

Certainly seems so And at a better strike rate too.

Now just stop this nonsense.

So?

Most runs doesnt = better

When they do it counts for more

He is only behind Richards(and he played in a way stronger team) among those who have scored over 900 runs .And he is an opener so there are only 4 not outs.

And he has a better strike rate too than the rest.

You asked this question ,and i answered yes with very concrete proof.

Off the top of my head, Richards, Lloyd, Ponting, Hayden, Gilchrist, Bevan, S Waugh, De Silva, Jayasuriya, Kalu etc etc etc have all had significantly more impact on the WCs than Tendy

Great player but the thing missing from his cv is the of innings produced by many, many supposedly lesser players

Are you referring to a great WC Innings or a great ODI Innings?

WC

And please dont cite 1st round etc

I love Tendy but his record in important ODIs is ridiculously overrated

Give me a Steve Waugh innings vs SA 1999 any day over 30 knocks that mean nothing in the scheme of things

 

[silentstriker]

Well obviously the best batsman in a WC has to be the one who has the best bowlers. Lee is the best batsman in WC of all time.
