Tendulkar as a World Cup player (posts moved here)
The only area where I have the SRTs and MSDs behind in ODIs is that they've NEVER produced on the biggest stage
I know people will point to the 2nd round of this or semi-final of that but, let's face it, that means jack diddley squat in the scheme of things Last edited by Prince EWS; 10-04-2010 at 12:39 PM. |

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 |

yeah, too bad they dont care about your opinion social. SRT is indeed a very special WC player. last time CW selected a WC XI he was the only member of the team without a winner's medal. he will be in most people's top 5 list for sure.we are slowly forgetting the greatness of bevan. that is unfair coz he did in the 90s what javed miandad specialized a decade before that. shepherding the tail in a limited overs game is an art very few have mastered. bevan has a doctorate in it. |

673 Sachin Tendulkar
465 Sourav Ganguly 415 Ricky Ponting 408 Adam Gilchrist 384 Herschelle Gibbs Absolutely. They should have given it to Ponting for scoring 62% of the runs SRT had scored, or to Ganguly for scoring 218 of his 465 runs against Kenya. Face it, SRT was by a margin the single best performer in the WC of 2003.(There were 3-4 bowlers at the top who took a similar amount of wickets) |

On the eve of the event, one of the greatest Oz players in history was banned A player that Ponting backed to the hilt saved Oz vs Pakistan despite everybody calling for his head before-hand Ponting, almost singlehandedly, destroyed India in the final In WC 2003, it was Ponting first, daylight second, night third and who cares fourth Player of the series was a popularity contest, nothing more As for the topic at hand, Bevan arguably played a more important innings in that one series than the others have ever played |
